Tronic Single Galvanised Iron 2 Way Switch Box

Our review

This is a single switch box from Tronic, made in galvanised iron and intended for a two-way switch. Because it is a recessed type, it is designed to sit inside the wall rather than on the surface, which means the wall has to be chased or chiselled out to create the space for it. That makes it a sensible choice for anyone planning or repairing concealed wiring in a home, rental or commercial building, and for electricians who prefer metal boxes over plastic ones for switch points. Galvanised iron gives it a sturdier feel than a plain pressed box, though you should confirm the depth and cut-out size suit your wall and switch plate before ordering, since no dimensions are listed here. Compare it with surface-mounted boxes if you cannot chase the wall, and with multi-gang boxes if you need more than one switch at that point. Available on Sokonia.
