Description
Four rockers sit on a single screwless plate finished in navy blue, each one inset with chrome for a little contrast against the paint. Nothing shows on the face, no fixing screws, so the plate reads as a clean rectangle against the wall. Every rocker is wired as two way, so it can run a light on its own or work in tandem with another switch at the far end of a room or the top of a flight of stairs.
We like this one in halls and landings, where several lights need to answer to the same spot by the door, and in kitchens where pendants, downlights and undercupboard lighting each want their own control. It suits anyone tidying a wall of separate plates into a single run, and it works just as well beside a bed where the same light is switched from either side of the room. Rockers give a positive click, so there is no doubt about which one you have pressed in a dim hallway. It is for indoor use on domestic lighting circuits.
The plate and rockers are moulded in polycarbonate, a tough plastic that holds a painted finish well and will not corrode at the edges the way a metal plate can. It is a double insulated fitting. Keep it looking right with a dry cloth, or a barely damp one for fingermarks around the rockers, and keep household sprays and cream cleaners well away from the navy, since they dull it. It carries a ten year warranty. Navy is a good foil for pale plaster, brick and warm timber, and we would choose it over plain white wherever the wall behind has some colour of its own.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It measures 146mm across by 88mm high, with a 25mm projection, so it is a twin plate rather than a single.
What current is each rocker rated for?
Each way is rated 10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting loads.
What does two way mean here?
Each of the four gangs can be wired to work with a second switch elsewhere, so one light can be turned on and off from either position. Wired as a one way switch instead, it simply works on its own.
What is the plate made from?
Polycarbonate, with chrome inserts on the rockers. It is a double insulated fitting for indoor use.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust and a barely damp cloth for marks. Avoid solvents, bleach and abrasive creams, which will take the sheen off the navy finish.
How heavy is it?
0.16kg.
