{"product_id":"2-gang-2-way-light-switch-plum","title":"2 Gang 2 Way Light Switch - Plum","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlum is a deep, slightly dusky purple, and here it covers a flat screwless plate with no fixings showing on the face. Two chrome rockers sit side by side against that colour, set into a chrome surround. Both sides offer two way switching, so a light can also be worked from another position in the room or at the far end of a landing. The plate is moulded in polycarbonate rather than pressed from metal, which keeps the colour even across the face and leaves the surface warm to the touch rather than cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe would fit this where the walls are already carrying colour: a bedroom in a heritage shade, a hallway in deep ink, a snug where a white plate would jump out and announce itself. It gives separate control of, say, a ceiling light and a run of wall lights, and the switching lets either be handled from the far door as well. Keep it to dry indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits; a shower room or a garage wants something sealed instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate throughout and the mechanism is double insulated, with the rockers rated 10AX for the lighting loads a domestic room puts through them. Looking after the finish takes a dry cloth, or a barely damp one for fingermarks around the rockers; kitchen sprays, cream cleaners and white spirit all dull moulded colour, so keep them well away from the plate. It carries a ten year warranty. We like it best read as part of a set, with chrome shades or polished nickel fittings picking up the inserts and the plum left to do the talking against a painted wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecond Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.07KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate, Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
