3 Gang 2 Way Light Switch - Moss Green

Three rockers sit side by side on a single flat plate, each a two way rocker, so any of them can work in a pair with another switch elsewhere in the room. The plate is finished in a soft moss green, with chrome inserts framing the rockers to break up the colour. Screwless means the face stays clean, with no visible fixing heads interrupting the green. It is rated 10AX, which covers ordinary household lighting circuits, and the whole plate is compact enough to sit tidily beside a door frame.

It earns its keep where several lighting circuits land in one spot: a hall running a pendant, a porch light and a landing fitting, a kitchen splitting worktop, ceiling and table lighting, or a sitting room with lamps, wall lights and a central fitting all controlled from the door. Switching from either end suits stairs and long corridors. We like the moss green in rooms with painted or papered walls, where a plain white plate can read as a gap rather than a detail. It is meant for dry indoor rooms on a domestic lighting supply, not outbuildings or bathroom zones.

Plate and rockers are moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic that holds its colour without needing paint, and the switch is double insulated throughout. A dry cloth keeps it looking right, with a cloth barely dampened in plain water for fingermarks around the rockers; cream cleaners, bleach and spirit sprays will dull the green and take the sheen off the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. The chrome inserts sit happily alongside chrome or brushed nickel handles and taps, and the green is quiet enough that we would use it right through a room rather than saving it for one wall.

What size is the plate?

It is 88mm square, so it keeps to the footprint of a standard three gang plate, and it weighs around 0.1kg.

What does two way mean on this switch?

Each of the three gangs can be used on its own to control a light, or paired with a second two way switch so the same light can be switched from two positions, such as the top and bottom of a staircase.

What does the 10AX rating cover?

10AX is the usual rating for domestic lighting, so the switch is intended for household lighting circuits rather than heaters, motors or other power loads.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?

No. It is rated IP20 and made for indoor use only, so it belongs in dry rooms and away from splashes.

How should I clean the green finish?

Dust it with a dry soft cloth. For marks, use a cloth wrung out in plain water only; abrasive creams and solvent cleaners will dull both the green plate and the chrome inserts.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, it carries a ten year warranty from the manufacturer.
