The chrome strip on this black light switch make this a sleek choice for a light switch upgrade. With its gloss black finish and thin, uniquely-styled switch - this is sure to catch some attention. The style would work perfectly in a modern interior.
The switch can be used for most common light bulbs, like LED, incandescent and fluorescent and is suitable for all 230V wiring circuits. It's made using an ABS plastic casing that's said to be fireproof and anti-fading. The vertical rocker switch should be an easy one to clean, too.
CNBINGO Touch Light Switch
When modernising your home, an easy addition is a touch-activated light switch. This tempered glass pad is a great choice, activated by touching the LED-backlit ring.
