Description
Ocean blue with chrome rockers is a livelier choice than the usual white plastic, and it works because the colour is deep rather than bright. The plate is a square 88mm, flat fronted, with no screw heads breaking up the face, so the three chrome rockers and the blue moulding do all the work. Each rocker is two way, so it can serve as a plain on-off switch or as one end of a pair.
Having the switching gathered on a single plate suits the point in a house where several circuits meet: a hall with a porch light, a stair light and a pendant on the same wall, or a kitchen dividing downlights, under-cupboard strip and a pendant over the table. Being able to switch from either end of a staircase or a long corridor is what makes the arrangement work. We reach for a coloured plate like this in a hallway with panelling or a dark painted wall, where a white one would sit there as a bright square.
The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate, double insulated, and meant for indoor domestic lighting circuits rather than anything outdoors or damp. Keep cleaning gentle: a dry cloth for dust, and if fingermarks build up around the rockers, a cloth barely damp with water and nothing else, since solvents and cream cleaners will dull the moulding and take the shine off the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are running a whole hallway in this colour, we would keep the rest of the accessories on that wall in the same ocean blue so the run reads as one idea rather than a patchwork.
