Description
Copper plates warm up a wall in a way brushed steel never quite manages, and this one keeps the detail quiet: a flat screwless face with no visible screws, and four chrome rockers set across it. Each gang is wired two way, so a light can be worked from here or from another plate elsewhere on the circuit, which is how most halls and landings are arranged. The rockers are rated 10AX, covering the lighting circuits found in most homes.
A plate this wide earns its place where a single doorway controls several circuits: a kitchen with downlights, pendants over the island and lighting under the cupboards, or a hall that also switches the porch and the stairs. We would put it at the main entrance to a room and keep narrower plates on the secondary doors, which stops the wall beside the handle filling up with hardware. It suits homes already running copper or rose-toned metalwork, from taps and cupboard handles to pendant shades, and it sits well against warm neutrals and the deeper greens.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate with a copper finish and chrome inserts, and it is double insulated, so no exposed metal carries current. It belongs in dry indoor rooms; steam and splashes are outside what it is built for. Cleaning asks very little: a dry microfibre cloth across the face for dust, a barely damp one for finger marks, dried off straight away, and nothing in the way of cream cleaner or kitchen spray, both of which will dull copper over time. It carries a ten year warranty. We keep it in copper with chrome rockers, and it reads well beside copper power points running along the same wall.
