Description
Plum is not a colour you see often on a light switch, and that is rather the point of this one. Four rockers sit in a row behind a chrome insert, set into a screwless front plate that clips flat with no screw heads on show to interrupt the colour. Each rocker is wired two way, so it can work on its own or in a pair with another switch elsewhere in the room. The body is moulded polycarbonate and the unit is double insulated.
It suits the places where several circuits arrive at one point: a kitchen with ceiling lights, under-cupboard strips and a pendant over the table, or a hallway where porch, hall and landing all answer to the same spot. That pairing option earns its keep at the foot of a staircase, or in a bedroom with a door at either end. We would put it in a room that already has some colour on the walls, where a plain white plate tends to look like an afterthought. Indoors, on household lighting circuits, is where it belongs.
The plate is moulded plastic rather than metal, so the plum runs through the material instead of sitting on top as a sprayed coat, and the chrome insert gives the rockers a crisper edge against it. For fingerprints around the rockers, a dry cloth is usually enough; anything greasier wants a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one, and solvents or cream cleaners should be kept well away from the surface. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are working through a whole room, keeping the plum consistent on every wall does far more for the look than a single coloured plate on its own.

Frequently Asked
What current rating do the switches carry?
Each rocker is rated 10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.
How big is the plate?
It is a twin plate measuring 146mm by 88mm, with a depth of 25mm behind the front face.
What does two way mean here?
Each of the four rockers can be wired to a single switch position, or paired with a second switch so the same light can be operated from either point.
Is the plum colour painted on?
No. The plate is moulded polycarbonate in plum, with a separate chrome insert surrounding the rockers.
How should I clean it?
Dust and fingerprints come off with a dry cloth. For marks, use a cloth wrung out in plain water and dry it straight away; avoid solvents, polishes and abrasive creams.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only and should not be fitted where it may be splashed.
