Been round to a mates this morning fitting these things. He bought them new, manufactured by Clipsal, from some online electrical store £150 quid!
Took a few photos to show you what I mean, and how fiddly they are.
so there’s 2 x 1 gang and 1 x 2 gang to fit. Dark wooden surround, and a bag of fixings.
Inside the switches, we have Common, 1way, 2way and Loop... so neutral has somewhere to be parked.
taped the switch wires, and replaced the live loop, the old bit was too short.
The fixings include a simple plastic bar with fixing hole
A couple photos didn’t come out great, too blurry.
The wooden surround is screwed to the plastic, which itself is fixed to the back box with regular 3.5mm screws
The switch is then screwed to the wood, no space for cable, so any length is pushed back into the box
Finished.
This house is full of retro, antique or otherwise weird items.
look at this thread for examples.
