The switch is rated for 45A at 230V, making it suitable for high-draw circuits such as cookers, ovens and electric showers where a dedicated isolator is required. The neon indicator glows red when the circuit is live, providing visual confirmation of power status even when the appliance is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart M compliant design means the white rocker provides high visual contrast against the anthracite faceplate, which in turn contrasts with most wall colours. The anthracite finish has a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of approximately 8.9, meeting Building Regulations Part M recommendations for accessible installations where switches must be easily identifiable for users with visual impairments. The raised rocker profile and tactile ON marking on the top edge support accessible operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe faceplate is constructed from thermoset resin with certified anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on high-touch surfaces. The 86mm x 86mm faceplate fits standard single-gang UK back boxes with a minimum depth of 47mm and projects 7mm from the wall once installed. The IP20 rating suits dry indoor locations. Knightsbridge backs this switch with a 25-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 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.
