Description
Two rockers sit on a single flat plate, finished in platinum silver with chrome inserts so the switch keys stand out against the face. The screwless front clips over its base, leaving an unbroken face with no screw heads interrupting it, and the edges are squared and shallow rather than beaded. Each rocker is wired two way, letting it be paired with a matching switch so the same light answers from either end of a hallway.
We keep this one for rooms with two lighting circuits to juggle: a kitchen where the ceiling lights and the worktop lighting want separate control, or a sitting room where the pendant and the wall lights are both switched at the door. Stairs and landings are the other obvious home, with the plate at the bottom and its partner at the top. It is meant for domestic lighting circuits in dry indoor rooms, so hallways and kitchens yes, a shower room no. If you are working through a house and replacing tired yellowed plates as you go, it is a simple swap that tidies a wall without drawing attention to itself.
The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate with a platinum silver finish, and the fitting is double insulated. Cleaning is light work: turn the power off if you want to be thorough, wipe the plate with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Polish, abrasive creams and solvent cleaners will dull the silver, so keep them well clear. It carries a ten year warranty. Screwless plates look their best in a run, so it is worth holding to the one finish through a room rather than mixing silver with white.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It is a square plate, 88mm by 88mm, with a back box depth of 25mm.
What does two way switching mean here?
Each rocker can be wired so that one light is controlled from two separate switch positions, such as the top and bottom of a staircase, rather than from a single point.
What is the current rating?
The rockers are rated 10AX, which suits domestic lighting circuits.
What is the switch made from?
The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate in platinum silver, with chrome inserts behind the rockers. The switch is Class 2, double insulated.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only, so choose something suited to damp conditions for a bathroom or shower room.
How should I clean it without marking the finish?
A slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one is enough. Avoid metal polish, cream cleaners and anything containing solvent, as these will take the sheen off the silver.
