The built-in neon indicator glows red when the switch is in the on position, confirming power is live to the appliance. Double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines, providing safe isolation for maintenance or cleaning of electric cookers, hobs and ovens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential kitchens and commercial catering installations, the switch fits a 47mm minimum back box depth and occupies a standard 86mm x 86mm single-gang footprint. The ultra-low 2.5mm projection from the wall gives a near-flush appearance once fitted, and a built-in gasket behind the plate helps seal against dust ingress. The polished chrome finish coordinates with other Knightsbridge Flat Plate accessories in the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premium-grade steel construction carries a 25-year warranty and an IP20 rating for dry indoor installation. The switch operates a rocker mechanism that provides clear tactile feedback when toggled between on and off positions. The neon sits in a translucent red window at the top of the faceplate, visible in daylight and low light without being overly bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
