Product Information

Full details

This Soho 3 Gang 2RM+1CM Dual Module Grid Plate in Antique Brass is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a highly adaptable and stylish solution for light switches. Its key benefit is the ability to create custom switch configurations by mixing rectangular rocker and circular toggle/dimmer modules, offering a seamless finish. A caveat is its incompatibility with certain module types (EM, LT1, LT2, LT3). This grid plate system allows for thousands of unique combinations, providing a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, particularly suited for traditional and period home styling due to its aged look and subtly brushed finish.

FAQs

What is a grid switch plate system?

A grid switch plate system uses a modular approach where a base grid plate and frame allow you to insert various switch, dimmer, or socket modules to create custom configurations tailored to your needs.

Can I use any type of switch module with this plate?

No, this specific Dual (2RM+1CM) plate is only compatible with Soho Lighting's RM (Rectangular Module) and CM (Circular Module) switch modules. It is not compatible with EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 modules.

How do I clean the antique brass finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after cleaning.

What does 'screwless' mean for this plate?

The 'screwless' design means that the visible plate has no visible screws. The plate clips or slots onto an underlying frame, creating a cleaner, more minimalist appearance once installed.

Can I mix different types of modules (e.g., dimmer and rocker) on the same plate?

Yes, the primary benefit of this system is its flexibility. You can mix and match compatible RM and CM modules, such as combining standard rocker switches with rotary dimmers.

Is professional installation required?

While some users may be comfortable with DIY electrical work, it is always recommended to have installations performed by a qualified electrician for safety and compliance with building regulations.

How do I get a custom engraving?

The product information mentions a bespoke engraving service. You would typically need to contact the retailer or Soho Lighting directly to inquire about the process, available options, and pricing for custom text.

Troubleshooting

Plate does not sit flush against the wall.

Ensure the back frame/yoke is securely and evenly mounted to the wall box. Check for any obstructions behind the plate.

Switch modules are difficult to install or remove.

Verify that you are using compatible RM or CM modules. Ensure the modules are aligned correctly with the plate's slots before pushing them into place. Refer to module-specific instructions if provided.

Finish appears to be tarnishing or discoloring.

This is uncommon with the brushed finish. Ensure you are only using approved cleaning methods (soft, damp cloth, no harsh chemicals). If persistent, contact customer support.
