Description
A flat ice white plate with no screws showing on the face, so the front reads as one clean rectangle broken only by the chrome rocker inserts. Six gangs sit on a twin plate, each rocker rated 10AX and wired two way, so any of them can work alongside another switch at the far end of a room, or simply act as an on and off on its own. The rockers move with a firm, quiet click rather than a soft press. We reach for this one where a wall of separate plates would otherwise look busy.
Six gangs on a single plate suit the spots where several circuits meet: a hall that switches the landing, the porch and the stairs from the same place, a big kitchen with ceiling, under cupboard and island lighting kept apart, or a sitting room where lamps run on a switched circuit. It is intended for domestic lighting indoors, in rooms that stay dry, so hallways, bedrooms and kitchens rather than a shower room. Anyone tidying up a run of mismatched plates will find one wide plate reads far calmer than a cluster of small ones.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, double insulated, with the chrome inserts giving a little brightness against the white. Ice white shows finger marks around the rockers, so a dry cloth over the face now and then is worth the minute it takes; in a kitchen, a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one will lift any greasy film. Keep solvents, wipes and cream cleaners away from it, as they dull both the moulding and the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. Against pale walls and light plaster it more or less disappears, which is exactly what you want from a plate this wide.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm across and 88mm high, the standard twin plate footprint, and the module projects 35mm behind the face.
What does two way mean here?
Each of the six rockers can be wired so a light is controlled from two positions, such as the bottom and top of a staircase. Any gang you do not need that way still works perfectly well as an ordinary on and off.
What is the switch rated at?
Each rocker is rated 10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in an ice white finish, with chrome rocker inserts. The whole unit is Class 2, double insulated, and weighs 0.16kg.
Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is made for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it to hallways, landings, bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth for dust and finger marks, or a barely damp cloth then a dry one for anything greasier. Nothing solvent based and no cream cleaners.
