4 Gang Single 2 Way Light Switch - Pink

Four rockers sit in one square plate, each finished in chrome and set against a pink face. The screwless front clips over its own frame, so there is nothing on show but colour and switch. Every gang is two way, so it can work alone or alongside a second switch on the same lighting circuit. The action is the ordinary rocker click, positive and quiet, and the plate sits at 88mm square.

A plate carrying this many circuits earns its keep at the head of a hallway, beside a kitchen door, or on a landing where the stairs, the corridor and the bedrooms all want switching from one place. Because each rocker will pair with a matching switch elsewhere, it also works at the foot of a staircase with a second plate at the top. We keep this one in pink with chrome inserts, and it is what we suggest when someone has had enough of white plastic and wants the wall to say something.

Plate and rockers are moulded ABS, so the pink is part of the material rather than a coat brushed over it, and the chrome inserts give the front some depth. The switch is double insulated. Keep it to dry indoor rooms on a domestic lighting supply; a hall or a bedroom rather than a shower room or a garden store. For cleaning, dust the face with a dry cloth and lift fingerprints from around the rockers with a cloth wrung out in plain water, leaving cream cleaners and solvents alone. It carries a ten year warranty. Set against a pale wall it reads as deliberate rather than loud.

What size is the plate?

It is 88mm by 88mm, with a 25mm depth behind the face, and it weighs about 0.1kg.

What load will each gang take?

Each rocker is rated 10AX, which covers domestic lighting circuits.

Can I control one light from two positions with this?

Yes. Every gang is two way, so it can be paired with a second switch on the same circuit, which is the usual arrangement for stairs and long hallways.

Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?

No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it to halls, bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms.

What is it made from?

The plate is moulded ABS in pink, with chrome inserts on the four rockers.

How do I keep the pink looking clean?

A dry cloth for dust, and a cloth wrung out in plain water for marks around the rockers. Avoid cream cleaners, bleach and solvents, which will dull the moulded finish.
