The switch carries a 32A rating, handling full room loads including lighting, sockets, climate control and entertainment systems on a single control point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for hospitality installation, the switch fits a standard UK back box with a minimum 47mm depth and uses a screwless anthracite faceplate that clips onto a metal sub-frame. The card slot sits centrally behind a backlit chevron indicator that glows softly in a darkened room, guiding guests to the insertion point without needing to search for the switch. The built-in gasket around the plate edge provides a weather-resistant seal where the faceplate meets the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anthracite finish is a dark grey metal tone that sits between matt black and gunmetal, pairing cleanly with contemporary hotel interiors and commercial joinery finishes. The screwless design means no visible fixings on the wall once installed, maintaining the clean aesthetic expected in higher-specification hospitality projects. The switch is certified to EN 60669-1 for mechanical and electrical safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
