Description
Four rockers sit on a single screwless plate in cool grey, with the switch inserts finished in chrome so each one reads clearly against the moulded face. The plate measures a little over 15cm across and has no visible fixings on the front, which keeps the look flat and quiet on the wall. Every gang is two way, so any rocker can act as one end of a pair with another switch elsewhere on the same lighting circuit, or be used on its own where a room only needs simple on and off control.
We would fit this where several lights are switched from one place: the foot of the stairs, a hall by the front door, or an open plan kitchen and dining space where pendants, downlights, undercupboard strips and an outside lantern all land at the same point. Grouping them keeps one wall tidy instead of a row of separate plates. Cool grey often sits better than white against painted or stone-toned walls, and it is one we suggest when the switching should recede rather than draw the eye. It suits indoor domestic lighting circuits.
The plate and rockers are moulded in polycarbonate, a hard plastic that holds its colour and shrugs off the marks of daily use, and the fitting is double insulated. For cleaning, a dry microfibre cloth over the face is usually all it needs; where fingerprints gather around the rockers, use a cloth barely damp with water and dry it straight after, keeping solvents, cream cleaners and metal polish well away from the chrome inserts. It carries a ten year warranty. The grey and chrome pairing works well alongside brushed steel and chrome kitchen and bathroom fittings, and we keep it for anyone who would rather not default to a white moulded plate.
