Architrave Switches

Architrave Light Switches are generally used in areas where space is restricted. Often used in between 2 door frames or close to corners or obstructions where a standard switch simply couldn’t fit. The approximate size of 86mm x 32mm means that the architrave switch requires a specially designed wall box – these are available by request.

Light Switches are generally available to switch 1 way and/or 2 way circuits. All of our Light Switches are 2 way versions and the beauty of this is that they can be used on both 1 way and 2 way circuits thus eliminating the need to buy both types. A 2 way circuit refers to a lighting point that can be switched from 2 different places i.e. Hall and Landing, where you might have a switch at the bottom of the stairs and a further switch at the top of the stairs that both control the same lighting point.

If you should have more than 2 switching positions you will require one of the switches to be a intermediate switch.

Our light switches are available from a single switch (One Gang) or a 2 switch version (Two Gang). The word “gang” refers to the rocker switch – for example if you require a triple light switch it would be 3 Gang.

Our light switches have a load rating of either 10amp or 20amp and the terminals will accept up to 3 x 1.5mm Twin & Earth Cables.
