Description
Plum is an unusual colour for a switch plate, and that is rather the point. The front is screwless, so nothing breaks up the colour, and the three chrome rockers sit against it with a clean, bright contrast. Each rocker is two way, so it can work as a pair with another switch elsewhere in the room, at the far end of a hallway or at the top of the stairs. It is rated 10AX, which is ample for household lighting circuits.
We would put this where several separate lighting circuits meet in a single place: a kitchen with pendants, downlights and undercabinet strip, a sitting room with a main light, wall lights and a lamp circuit, or a landing that also controls the hall and the stairs. It suits those who would rather their switches were noticed than hidden, and it sits happily in a room whose walls already carry some depth of colour. It belongs indoors, on ordinary domestic lighting circuits, and is best kept clear of wet rooms and anywhere it might be splashed.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate and finished in plum throughout, with chrome on the rockers, and it is double insulated. Colour like this holds up best with gentle treatment: wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Cream cleaners, solvents and anything abrasive will dull the plum and cloud the chrome, so keep them away from it. It carries a ten year warranty. We keep it on the shelf as an inexpensive way of putting colour at switch height, and it works best when the sockets and switches around it are left plain.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with a depth of 25mm behind the face.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in a plum finish, with chrome around the rocker area for contrast.
Can it control one light from two places?
Yes. All three gangs are two way, so each can be paired with a matching two way switch at another position on the same circuit.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits.
How should I clean it?
A barely damp cloth, dried off at once. Avoid cream cleaners, solvents and scouring pads, which will take the sheen off the coloured plate.
What load will it handle?
Each gang is rated 10AX, which suits normal household lighting loads.
