Description
Strawberry is a warm red with a soft pink cast, and it fills the whole face of this screwless plate. Chrome rockers sit across it, the wide traditional type that click cleanly under the thumb, and the switching mixes two way and intermediate gangs so the same lights can be worked from another door or the far end of a landing. With no screw heads on the front, the colour reads as an unbroken rectangle rather than a plate with hardware showing through it.
A busy switch position is where this earns its keep: the foot of the stairs, a hall that also feeds a porch light, a kitchen diner with pendants, spots and a worktop run on separate circuits. It suits anyone tired of plain white plastic and happy for the switch position to be part of the decoration. We would fit it in a room that already carries some colour in the walls or the woodwork, and it is one we reach for when someone wants something other than chrome or black at the door. Its work is household lighting indoors.
The plate is moulded ABS with chrome rockers, and the accessory is double insulated throughout rather than earthed at the plate itself. A dry cloth over the face keeps it looking right; keep cream cleaners, polish and anything solvent based away from it, since they dull the colour and can craze the moulding. It carries a ten year warranty. We would keep the rest of the switches at that door in the same screwless style, so the wall stays consistent, and the chrome rockers give an easy link to any chrome accessories already in the room.

Frequently Asked
How are the four gangs configured?
One gang is 2 way and the other three are 3 way intermediate, with each rocker rated 10AX.
What size is the plate?
It measures 146mm by 88mm, with a depth of 25mm.
Does it dim the lights?
No. These are on and off rocker switches, so any dimming would need to be handled by a separate dimmer elsewhere on the circuit.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is made for dry indoor rooms and domestic lighting circuits only, so keep it away from shower zones and anywhere exposed to weather.
How should I clean the strawberry finish?
Wipe the face with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, cream cleaners and solvents, which will take the sheen off the colour.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
