Description
Four rockers sit on a single flat square plate, finished in platinum silver with chrome inserts around each switch. The screwless front clips over its own frame, so the face stays clean and unbroken by fixing heads. Every rocker is wired two way, which means any of them can work as a pair with another switch elsewhere, giving control from either end of a hallway or from each side of a bed. The plate measures 88mm square, a compact footprint for this many circuits.
We tend to reach for a plate like this where a room carries several separate lighting circuits: downlights over the worktop, a pendant above the table, wall lights and a lamp circuit, all switched from a single place by the door. It suits hallways and landings too, where switching at each end saves walking a dark corridor. The rocker action is firm and quiet, and the gangs are spaced closely enough that you learn them by feel rather than by looking. It is meant for domestic lighting circuits indoors, in dry rooms rather than bathrooms or anywhere exposed to weather.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate and double insulated, so the front face carries no metal needing an earth. The platinum silver finish has a soft sheen rather than a mirror shine, which hides fingerprints better than polished chrome does across a wide plate. Keep it looking right with a dry cloth, or a barely damp one for marks around the rockers, and keep cream cleaners and solvents well away, as they will dull the finish. It carries a ten year warranty. We would put it in a room where chrome or brushed metal door furniture is already in use, and it sits happily alongside sockets and flex outlets in the same screwless style.

Frequently Asked
What is the switch rated at?
Each gang is a 10AX rocker, which covers normal household lighting loads on domestic lighting circuits.
Can I use it where only single switching is needed?
Yes. Two way gangs can serve a single switch position perfectly well, and only need pairing with a second switch if you want control from two places.
How big is the plate, and how deep is it?
The plate is 88mm by 88mm, and the depth behind the face is 25mm.
What is the finish like day to day?
The platinum silver face is a soft satin-toned silver with chrome around the rockers. A dry cloth is all it usually needs; avoid abrasive creams, bleach and solvent cleaners, which mark the finish permanently.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is an indoor fitting for dry rooms, so keep it out of bathrooms, shower rooms and any position exposed to damp or splashing.
What is it made from?
The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate, and the switch is Class 2 double insulated.
