Description
Bright teal is a bold thing to ask of a light switch, and this one carries it across a flat screwless plate with chrome detail around the rockers. Four gangs sit side by side on a single 88mm square plate, each one wired for two way switching, so a light can be operated from here or from a second position elsewhere. The rockers have a positive, quiet action under the thumb, and with no screw heads on the face there is nothing to interrupt the colour.
It earns its place where several lighting circuits arrive at one point: a hallway taking the porch, the stairs, the landing and a lamp circuit, or a kitchen running pendants, spots and under-cupboard lighting on separate controls. Switching from a pair of positions makes it useful at the foot of a staircase or one end of a long corridor, matched to a second switch at the far end. We reach for a colour like this in rooms with pale walls, where a small piece of hardware is allowed to be seen rather than quietly hidden away.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate and finished in bright teal, and the fitting is double insulated. Keep it clean with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight off; household sprays, polishes and cream cleaners will take the shine off the colour, so keep them well away from the face. It is intended for indoor domestic lighting circuits only. It carries a ten year warranty. Teal sits happily against white, chalk and warm grey walls, and we would keep the switches and sockets along one run of wall in the same finish so the eye reads them as a set rather than a series of one-offs.

Frequently Asked
What is the switch rated at?
Each gang is a 10AX rocker, which covers ordinary domestic lighting circuits.
Is it a dimmer?
No. It is a straightforward on and off rocker switch, with four separate rockers on the one plate.
What are the plate dimensions?
The plate measures 88mm by 88mm, with a depth of 25mm behind the face.
Can I control one light from two places with it?
Yes. Every gang is a two way switch, so it can be paired with a second switch controlling the same light from another position.
What is the plate made from, and how should I clean it?
It is moulded polycarbonate with a bright teal finish and chrome detail. A cloth wrung out in plain water is all it needs, dried off afterwards. Avoid solvents, abrasive creams and polish.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms and should be kept out of bathrooms and other damp locations.
