Tronic Gold Four Gang Two Way Switch

Our review

This is a four gang two way switch finished in gold, sold under the Tronic brand. In plain terms, it gives you four separate switch controls on one plate, and the two way function means each circuit can also be operated from a second switch elsewhere, which is why this type is common on staircases, in corridors and in larger rooms with more than one entrance. The gold finish is the main design point here, so it suits someone fitting out a space where the switch plates are meant to be seen rather than blend in, such as a sitting room, reception area or a boutique office. Before buying, check the wiring setup you already have, because two way switching depends on the right cabling between the two switch positions, and confirm the plate size and fixing centres match the box in your wall. Also decide whether four gangs is the number you need, since a two or three gang version of the same range would leave a cleaner plate if you have fewer circuits. Compare it with white or brushed metal switches if you want a quieter look, and with plainer plastic plates if budget matters more than finish. Available on Sokonia.
