Soho Aged Brass 1 Gang 20A 2 Way Toggle Switch

Aged Brass 1 Gang 20A 2 Way Toggle Switch - The Palaces Collection

Overview

This is a one gang, two way toggle switch from Soho Lighting's Palaces Collection, built for rooms where every fitting on the wall has been considered as carefully as the cornicing above it. At 86mm square, the faceplate sits comfortably within a single hand's reach, sized for a deliberate flick rather than a hurried tap. It suits a kitchen island pendant, a hallway run, or the mood lighting of a principal bedroom - anywhere a modern plastic switch would sit oddly against restored detail.

The toggle sits proud of the plate at 4.5mm thick, its short lever catching whatever light moves across it as the room shifts from day to evening. There is a settled, unhurried quality to the whole piece - nothing about it looks stamped out in a hurry, and the small motion of the switch itself becomes part of the room's daily rhythm rather than an afterthought bolted to the wall.

Rated at 20A and wired for two way circuits, it will run a kitchen island pendant or a full run of bedroom lighting without strain, though it is not built for dimming. No bulb is included, as this is a control point rather than a light source in itself. The faceplate's fixing centres of 60.3mm suit a standard back box, and we'd recommend a minimum back-box depth of 35mm - not stated which part this measures, so we'd recommend installation by a qualified electrician to confirm fit before the wall is closed up.

Made by Soho Lighting, this switch is made to order as part of the wider Palaces Collection, designed for interiors finished down to the last detail. It does one job - toggling a single two way circuit - and does it plainly, without dimming or additional ways, which is less a shortfall than the point of a fitting meant to disappear into a period room rather than announce itself.

Details

A 1-gang, 2-way toggle light switch rated 20A (250V). Being 2-way, it can control a light on its own or as part of a two-switch circuit (e.g. top and bottom of a staircase). Solid brass faceplate.

Fits a standard back-box of at least 35mm depth. As a Class I fitting the faceplate must be earthed, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician. For indoor use.
