Description
Four rockers sit side by side on one flat plate, gathering a room's separate lighting circuits into a single place on the wall. The finish is ice white, with chrome at the rockers to give the face a little definition against pale paint. Being a screwless plate, the front clips over its frame and presents an unbroken surface, with no screw heads to line up or paint around. Each gang switches 2 way, so a light can be worked from another switch elsewhere in the room as well as from here.
This is the plate we reach for in a hallway, where a porch light, the stairs, the landing and a coat cupboard all want switching from the same spot, and in open-plan kitchens where spots, pendants and under-cupboard lighting arrive at the door together. At 88mm square it keeps a busy switch drop tidy on one face rather than spreading it across a pair of plates. It suits anyone bringing older white plates up to date without changing the look of the room, and the ice white reads as a true neutral beside standard white sockets and points already in place.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, double insulated, and intended for indoor domestic lighting circuits rather than sheds, porches or anywhere that gets damp. Keep it clean with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; abrasive creams and solvent cleaners will dull the moulding and blur the crisp edges. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are working through a whole floor, the plain ice white face and chrome rockers sit happily next to plain white accessories, so a mixed run of gang counts still looks deliberate.

Frequently Asked
What does 2 way switching give me?
Each of the four gangs can be wired one way for a single switch position, or 2 way so the same light is controlled from two separate switches, which is what you want on stairs, in a long hall or at either end of a through room.
How large is the plate?
It is 88mm by 88mm, a single square plate, with a 25mm depth behind the front.
What is the switch rated at?
Each gang is rated 10AX, suited to domestic lighting circuits.
What is it made from?
The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate in ice white with chrome at the rockers, and the switch is double insulated. The whole plate weighs about 0.1kg.
Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and is for dry indoor rooms only, so a bathroom or a covered outdoor spot needs a different type of control.
How should I clean it?
A barely damp cloth, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive cream cleaners, bleach and solvents, as these take the finish off the moulding.
