Description
Pink is not a colour that turns up often on electrical accessories, which is rather the point here. Two chrome rockers sit on a flat screwless front, and each works independently, so a single plate handles the main light and another circuit from the same place. The two way action lets either rocker be paired with a matching switch on the far side of a hall or at the top of the stairs, so the lights can be worked from either end.
We would put this in a hallway or landing where a plain white plate would look like an afterthought, and it sits happily in a kitchen with painted cabinetry, a child's bedroom, a cloakroom or any scheme that already carries some colour. It suits anyone replacing a tired plate who wants the switch to read as part of the decoration rather than something to hide. It is meant for indoor use on domestic lighting circuits.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate with the pink running through the material rather than sitting as a coating over metal, and the chrome inserts give the rockers some definition against the colour. The screwless front clips over the frame, leaving a clean face with nothing on show, and the fitting is double insulated. Keep it clean with a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one; solvents, cream cleaners and kitchen sprays will dull moulded plastic quickly, so keep them well away from the face. It carries a ten year warranty. Set against a deep green or an off white wall it reads as deliberate rather than accidental, and chrome taps or handles nearby will pick up the inserts.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with 25mm of depth behind the front face.
What does 2 way mean in practice?
Each rocker can be wired to work with a second switch in another position, so one light is controlled from two places, such as both ends of a hallway. If you only need a single switch point, a 2 way switch can be wired as one way.
What current is it rated for?
10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits, including switched wall lights and pendants.
Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms only, away from splashes and weather.
What is the plate made from, and will the colour rub off?
The body is moulded polycarbonate in pink, so the colour is part of the plastic rather than a surface film. Avoid abrasive pads and chemical cleaners and it will keep its finish.
How long is the warranty?
Ten years.
