Description
Eight rockers sit on a single screwless twin plate, and every one of them is a two way switch, so each light can also be worked from another position elsewhere in the house. The face is bright teal with chrome rockers, a proper colour rather than a shy one, and because the plate is screwless the front stays clean and unbroken. It puts on one plate what would otherwise take several side by side.
We would fit this where a lot of switching gathers in one spot: the foot of a staircase, a hall that feeds the lounge, kitchen and porch, a landing where bedroom, bathroom and stair lighting all want a home, or a wide open plan room with a good many lighting circuits over it. Because every gang can pair with a switch at another point, upstairs and downstairs positions can work the same lights, which is what most halls and stairs actually need. It suits a household tired of watching a wall fill up with separate plates.
The plate and its rockers are polycarbonate with metal beneath, and it is meant for lighting circuits inside the home. Keeping it looking well is a matter of a soft cloth, barely damp, then dry; kitchen sprays, solvents and cream cleaners will dull the teal, so keep them well away from the face. It carries a ten year warranty. Bright teal earns its keep against pale grey, off white or bare timber, and we like it best on a wall where the switch is allowed to be seen rather than quietly hidden. If you are running a colour through a room, this is the sort of plate we would choose to carry it, rather than defaulting to white and hoping nobody looks.

Frequently Asked
How wide is the plate?
The twin plate measures 146mm across and 88mm tall, with a 35mm depth behind the face.
What current is it rated for?
It is rated 10AX, which covers domestic lighting circuits, and runs on a 220-250V supply.
Does every gang work as two way?
Yes. All eight gangs are two way, so each can be paired with a second switch to control the same light from another position.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is for dry indoor rooms only and should not be placed within a bathroom zone.
What is the plate made from?
Polycarbonate with metal, finished in bright teal with chrome rockers.
How should I clean it?
A soft cloth, lightly damp at most, then dried off. Avoid solvents, bleach sprays and abrasive creams, which will mark the coloured finish.
