Invisible Plate Combination Rotary Dimmers and Toggle Switches by Forbes & Lomax

Forbes & Lomax’s Invisible Plate Toggle Switches and Rotary Dimmers push to switch on and off and rotate to dim and brighten. The Invisible line was inspired by the glass plates of the 1930s and was designed to showcase unique wall treatments, such as wallpaper and lime wash.

Each combination includes two wall plates: a clear lucite top plate and a white metal backplate. When installed with stone or tiles instead of wallpaper, the white metal backplate may require faux painting to blend with the stone.

Rotary Dimmers, Toggle Switches, and Push Buttons can be configured on the same plate for a customized control solution. To guarantee compatibility, especially with higher wattage lights, lights with transformers or drivers, or fixtures with non-replaceable LEDs, please email or upload the light specifications before purchase. Custom configurations can be facilitated by contacting customer support and uploading the specifications via the button above.

Established in 1987, Forbes & Lomax is a UK based company with a reputation for high quality design amongst architects and designers.
