{"product_id":"4-gang-twin-2-way-light-switch-platinum-silver","title":"4 Gang Twin 2 Way Light Switch - Platinum Silver","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour rockers sit side by side across a wide platinum silver plate, each one ringed by a chrome insert so the moving part is easy to find at a glance. The plate is screwless, clipping over its frame to leave a flat front with no fixing heads on show. Every gang is wired for two way operation, which means any of the lights can also be switched from another plate elsewhere, and each is rated 10AX for ordinary household lighting loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt earns its keep where a lot of switching lands at one doorway: an open plan kitchen running pendants, downlights, plinth lights and the utility beyond, or a hall that takes care of the porch and the stairs as well. We reach for this plate in rooms where the switch sits at eye level on a plain wall, because there is less ironmongery to catch the light. The rocker action is firm and quiet under the thumb, and the gangs are spaced far enough apart to work by feel once everyone has learnt the running order. It belongs indoors, on domestic lighting circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is moulded polycarbonate rather than pressed steel, which keeps the plate light and gives the silver a soft, even sheen rather than a mirror shine. It is double insulated throughout. To clean, wipe the face with a barely damp cloth and dry it off; solvents, kitchen sprays and cream cleaners will dull the moulding and are best kept well away from it. We would pair it with chrome socket fronts and door furniture in the same key, and with a matt wall paint that lets the plate read as a quiet horizontal line. It carries a ten year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatinum Silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecond Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.16KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate, Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
