Colour Matching
Only the socket or switch plate body is colour matched. Colour match sockets and switches only come with black or white rocker switches and electrical components, they cannot be colour matched.
Please make sure the colour you give us is the correct match to the paint etc. that the sockets and switches will be fixed to or to the item(s) you are colour matching with. As this is a bespoke service any items made to your specifications are unique, so if we have supplied the colour specified, then the items cannot be returned.
If you are unsure about any part of the process, or the colours, please talk to us first before ordering.
What is a Time Lag Staircase Switch?
Staircase Time Lag Switches are designed for use in common areas where you might have multiple switching positions on a common lighting circuit where a temporary use of light is required. These are most commonly used to switch lights on in a stairwell and the beauty of this is that they will switch themselves off after a pre-set time.
Previously Staircase Time Lag switches have only been available as air-operated push buttons and as they were only available in a plain white finish with an unsightly large white button plunger they were found to be unsuitable for many properties where something more stylish was a requirement.
When using any version of Time Lag Staircase switch you cannot use standard on/off light switches on the same circuit - all the other switches for the lights will need to be the same Time Lag Switches.
At Sockets and Switches we have two versions of the Time Lag Switch - Retrofit and Module.
Retrofit Time Lag Switches
We have introduced a Retrofit Staircase Time Lag Switch to our range. These decorative switches simply replace the old White air-operated push button type.
For simplicity of installation the Retrofit Time Lag models do not require a neutral and as such can be used as a straight replacement for your existing light switch.
The switch has a fully adjustable time delay from 1 minute up to 2 hours, to alter the delay you simple adjust the setting on the rear of the switch when installing. On use the user presses the push button on the switch to briefly switch the lights ON and then after your pre-set time has elapsed, the lights will switch OFF automatically.
You have a choice of a standard button switch or an illuminated version with a location light which remains lit until the switch is pressed to help find the switch in the dark. When pressed the location light goes off as the lights come on; once the time lag period has elapsed the location light then comes back on.
Important - never use a Retrofit Time Lag Staircase Switch that is not rated higher than the load applied to it – the maximum loads for the Retrofit switches are 1500w (240v) or 1000w (Fluorescent) or 500w (LED). The switches can also be used for Fans or Halide Lights up to 250w.
We recommend a 35mm deep wall box as these switches are approximately 29mm deep.
Module Switches - only available in certain styles
This version of the Time Lag Switch requires a module to be fitted into the circuit to work. You will require only one Staircase Time Lag Module per circuit and are usually located remotely and out of sight. This means you can have fully deccorative switches where the light is required and any number on the circuit and can be combine Staircase Time Lag Switches with Toggle Light Switches on the same plate if required.
The module has a fully adjustable time delay setting from 30 seconds up to 10 minutes that is pre-set on installation – this then enables the users to press the push button Staircase Time Lag Switch briefly to switch ON the lights then after the pre-set time has elapsed the lights will switch OFF automatically.
Important - never use a Staircase Time Lag Module that is not rated higher than the total load applied to it – the maximum loads for the module are 2300w (240v) or 1500w (12v) or 1000w (Fluorescent) or 460w (LED).
We recommend 25mm or 35mm deep wall boxes for mounting our button dimmer switches.

Very Smart
22 September 2021 by Billie, London - Verified Customer
Finished perfectly
Blended In
02 April 2021 by Tanya, Torquay - Verified Customer
We have a prominent switch which cannot be moved easily so used colour match to blend it in with wall rather than have it stick out obviously. Still there but your eye doesn't immediately fix on it so happy with result.
Colour Matched

Colour Matches Perfectly
19 March 2021 by Donna, Surrey - Verified Customer
Had several switches and sockets colour matched for the kitchen. Looks perfect and very happy.
Very Good
17 July 2020 by Amit Shah, Berkshire - Verified Customer
Very good and obviously of a high spec. Only small disappointment for me was that the actual switch part was white and not matched. They explained that because these moving parts are touched more than the other bits the paint can scuff and/or chip which I understand. Other than this I would 100% recommend the product.
Worth The Wait
03 July 2020 by Jeremy Worthington, Norwich - Verified Customer
Took a while to arrive 5 weeks to be precise but worth the wait because the end result was perfect.
Over The Moon
06 June 2020 by Hal Monkhouse, Berkshire - Verified Customer
Wow such a good match and think they use the genuine paint as it looks exactly the same as the colour on my wall. I asked for the Farrow and Ball colour and its perfect. Great idea so thank you. Delivery took about 3 weeks but was well worth the wait.
Good Colour Match
03 June 2020 by Rikard J, Hove - Verified Customer
Arrived exactly as I had hoped and was a very accurate colour match. I bought just one socket so I thought the ?50.00 painting charge was high however its a very professional finish.
