Edwardian Rocker Light Switch 3 Gang Polished Brass Lacquered & White Trim
- Three rocker switches on an Edwardian style plate made from solid brass with a Polished Brass Lacquered finish.The Edwardian plate is stylish and elegant being characterized by the fabulous double stepped edge. It is a quality, heavy cast plate that also has a practical advantage of being slightly larger than some other plate styles (whilst still fitting to a standard back box) so can be useful to cover up messy plastering around the plate edge.Lacquered Polished Brass should retain the bright shiny appearance for a period and should not be polished with abrasive polishes/cleaners as this will break down the lacquer. Like paint and varnish, with use and over time the lacquer will break down causing the items to look scruffy and require attention. Clean with a soft damp cloth followed by an application of a quality wax polish.The high quality rocker switch mechanisms are made in the UK by Wandsworth and rated at 20 Amps. Each rocker switch is available as 2 Way or Intermediate. A 2 way switch is suitable for lights that only require switching from up to 2 places, whereas 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). If you would like to swap any of them to double pole or retractive switches instead please contact us (a double pole switch can operate more than one circuit and a retractive switch is one where you "push to make").A particular feature of our rocker 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 minimum 35mm depth backbox with this product to give a comfortable amount of space for the grid (the switch or socket mechanism) and wiring behind the plate.Height: 96mm; Width: 157mm
