Painted Range Combination Rotary Dimmers and Toggle Switches by Forbes & Lomax
Pairs With
Description
The Painted Range by Forbes & Lomax provides primed, ready-to-paint plates that sit flush to the wall. Each plate can be painted onsite to match the wall colour for a subtle, unobtrusive look, while the switch mechanism is supplied in the finish of your choice.
The painted combination plate pairs a rotary dimmer with one or more toggle switches on a single primed plate. The rotary dimmer manages up to 120 W of LED lighting (or 300 W incandescent/halogen); toggle switches are 3-way, 15 A (can be wired single-pole). In 3-way or 4-way circuits, dimming is possible from one location only — remaining positions function as non-dimming toggles. For personalized configurations, email contact@cassonhardware.com.
Established in 1987, Forbes & Lomax is a UK-based heritage electrical brand recognized by architects and designers for refined switch and outlet design.
