Georgian Dolly Switch 1 Gang Antique Brass Lacquered

A single dolly switch on a Georgian style plate made from solid brass with an Antique Brass Lacquered finish.The Georgian style of plate is characterized by the rope detailing around the edge that is associated with this particular period and architectural style. This design can also be found in other architectural items from the period such as door furniture and lighting.The Antique Brass finish is lacquered with lighter and darker antique tones. It should not be polished with abrasive polishes/cleaners as this will break down the lacquer. Clean with a soft damp cloth followed by an application of a quality wax polish to prolong the life of the lacquer.The high quality dolly switch mechanism is made in the UK and is rated at 20A. It is available as 2 Way, Intermediate, Double Pole or Retractive. A 2 way switch is suitable for operating lights that only require switching from up to 2 places, the intermediate switch would be required if the light is to be operated from more than 2 places (for example in hallways and on landings). The double pole switch can operate more than one circuit and a retractive switch is used for momentary contact to operate items such as electric blinds and roof lights etc.A particular feature of our dolly switches is that the plate can be taken off easily (leaving the connections safely in place) for example for redecoration purposes or for cleaning of unlacquered plates so that you don't risk getting polish on your wall.We highly recommend using a 35mm backbox with this product to give a comfortable amount of space for the grid (the switch or socket mechanism) and wiring behind the plate.Dimensions:Height: 96mm; Width: 96mm
