Recessed wall switch in black bakelite. Porcelain insert. On and off mechanism in the form of a rocker. Classic model in Sweden from the 1930s onwards. Very high quality in material and form. Fits in both old and new recessed boxes. Bakelite is a molded synthetic resin that is characterized by a huge shape and temperature resistance (unlike, for example, plastic), and which has a huge insulation capacity against electric current. Bakelite began to replace porcelain electrical accessories in the early 1930s. Older bakelite was brown, brown-black or black, but from the 40s and 50s it was also available in white.

“Staircase switch” means that you can turn the light on at one end of a staircase or room and turn it off at the other end. If you want a staircase switch, you need two switches with a so-called staircase function. If you want to be able to control the light from a third switch, this switch must have a cross function.

10A/250V. Staircase switch included. Diameter 82 mm. Builds 21 mm outside the wall incl rocker switch.

Stair switch black porcelain dark stain knob

Classic surface-mounted switch in black porcelain with dark stained wooden knob in a design that was common in Europe during the first half of the 20th century.

This switch has a so-called staircase function, which means that it can be used as a regular switch to turn a light source on and off. It can also be used in rooms, corridors or staircases to switch on a light source at one end of the room and off at the other end. If staircase switching is required, two switches with staircase function are needed. If a light source is also to be controlled from a third switch, this must have a cross function.

In the side of the base there is an opening for cable exit for surface-mounted electrical wiring, but it can also be mounted for recessed wall box in combination with any of Fontini’s base plates.

For surface mounting on wood paneling or other flammable material, an insulating plastic base plate should be used as additional fire protection.
