Description
A screwless front plate keeps the face clean, with no screw heads to interrupt the line, and three chrome rockers set into a soft light grey finish. Each rocker is a two way type, so it can work on its own or in a pair with another switch elsewhere in the room. Each rocker works independently, so lighting can be layered instead of coming on all at once. It is rated 10AX, which covers ordinary domestic lighting loads, and the plate is a slim one that sits close against the wall rather than standing proud.
It suits a room where several lighting circuits land at the same doorway: a kitchen with ceiling lights, under cupboard strips and a pendant over the table, or a sitting room running wall lights, downlights and a lamp circuit. Hallways and landings take it well, especially where the same lights need working from either end. It is small enough not to dominate a narrow strip of wall beside a door frame. We keep it for indoor domestic lighting circuits, and it is the plate we suggest when plain white looks too hard against a painted wall.
The moulded polycarbonate body is double insulated, and the light grey plate carries a chrome insert behind the rockers so both finishes read together rather than competing. Cleaning wants nothing more than a dry cloth across the face, with a slightly damp one for marks around the rocker edges; keep cream cleaners and solvents off the plastic, since they dull a moulded surface quickly. It carries a ten year warranty. Grouped switching keeps a wall tidier than separate plates, and this grey sits comfortably beside warm neutrals, greens and off whites.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
The front plate measures 88mm square, and the rear projection behind it is 25mm.
What does two way mean in practice?
Each of the three rockers can be wired as a two way switch, letting one set of lights be operated from two positions, such as either end of a hallway or the top and bottom of stairs. It can equally be used for straightforward one way switching.
What is it made from?
The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate with a chrome insert, and the switch is Class 2, double insulated.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is an IP20 fitting intended for dry rooms inside the house, so keep it away from splash zones and unheated outdoor spaces.
Is it a dimmer?
No, it is a rocker switch rated 10AX for on and off operation on domestic lighting circuits.
How should I clean it?
Wipe the face with a dry cloth, and use a barely damp cloth for finger marks near the rockers. Avoid abrasive creams, bleach and solvent cleaners.
