Description
Four rockers sit on a single screwless plate here, each wired for two way switching, so a light can also be worked from another position on the same circuit. The face is cool grey with a chrome insert framing the rockers, a quieter pairing than gloss white and one that sits comfortably against painted plaster or a deeper wall colour. No screw heads show on the front, so the plate reads as a flat, clean square. The action is a firm rocker, positive under the thumb, with the definite click you want when the room is dark.
This is the plate we would fit where several lighting circuits meet: the foot of the stairs, a hallway that also carries the porch lantern, or a kitchen doorway with ceiling lights, wall lights and an under cupboard strip to control. The switching means a hall or landing light can be worked from either end of a run, which saves walking back to the wall you came from. We keep it to dry indoor rooms and household lighting circuits, so a hall, bedroom, sitting room or landing rather than a shower area or an open porch.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate and double insulated, and it has the light, contained feel of a moulded face rather than the heft of metal. Cool grey hides fingermarks better than a white gloss finish, and a wipe with a barely damp cloth is all it asks; keep kitchen sprays and cream cleaners away from the chrome, as they will dull it over time. It carries a ten year warranty. We like it beside brushed chrome or nickel door furniture, where the soft grey keeps a busy wall of switching from drawing the eye.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It is a square single plate, 88mm by 88mm, with a 25mm depth behind the face.
What current is it rated for?
The switch is rated 10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.
What does two way switching give me?
Each of the four rockers can be paired with a second switch elsewhere, so one light is controlled from two positions, such as the top and bottom of a staircase.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in a cool grey finish, with a chrome insert around the rockers. It is double insulated.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. It is for indoor use in dry rooms only, on domestic lighting circuits.
How should I clean it?
A barely damp cloth, then dry off. Avoid solvents, abrasive creams and household sprays, which can mark the grey and dull the chrome.
