Classic surface-mounted switch in black porcelain without a knob in a design that was common in Europe during the first half of the 20th century.

This switch has a so-called cross function, which means that it should only be used if more than two switches are to control the same light source from different locations in a room, staircase or corridor. The cross-function switch is then mounted between two staircase switches.

If an ordinary switch is required to turn a light source on and off, or if two switches are connected to the same light source, a step switch should be selected instead.

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.

Combine the switch with the optional knob sold separately. See related products below.
