The switch occupies a 2-gang faceplate footprint (146mm x 86mm) and features a large red rocker against a white thermoset resin plate with gently rounded edges and a 7mm profile. Double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing additional safety for high-current appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential kitchens, utility rooms and bathrooms controlling electric cookers, ovens and electric showers up to 45A, the switch fits a standard 47mm minimum back box depth. The neon indicator provides at-a-glance confirmation that the circuit is powered, which is useful for checking isolator status before maintenance or when diagnosing appliance issues. The red rocker gives clear visual distinction from standard lighting switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white thermoset resin construction is more impact-resistant and heat-tolerant than standard thermoplastic, making it suitable for locations near cooker hobs or shower enclosures. The faceplate incorporates anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on frequently-touched surfaces. The rounded-edge profile softens the appearance compared to sharp-edged plates and the included screw cap covers hide the fixing points once installed.\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\u003e146 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
