Modern Light Switches

Searching for "wide rocker light switch" turns up some that are full width, others that are just a bit oversized, varying in ugliness ...

I was looking for something similar earlier today. Screwfix list 3 different ones, Toolstation show 1 and Wickes have one - for mail order only.

I remember them and think they were intended for the disabled.

What's wrong with letting the wife argue with Alexa, it stops her arguing with you?

That's undoubtedly right, but we have them in a numbxer of rooms in our non-disabled house -- they're useful when you want to switch the lights on in a dark room by just hitting in the general direction of the wall plate without finding a fiddly switch.

Not a big deal, but useful.

Alexa and her like are the spawn of the devil, innit....

Alexa, tell me a Dad Joke ..... :)

GB has brought this to us :

Ans - He was a creature of habit.

They were promoted as being more stylish and modern than the traditional switch, much in the same way as the inductive plate switches, which had no moving parts.

Try these.

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?

I did not like those since they were easy to knock on and off as you passed by if you were carrying something, like a box. Also they felt flimsy to me at least. Brian

Very close but those are very expensive and look prone to showing wear quickly. Thank you.

I just found these:

- Mint 20.04, kernel 5.4.0-42-generic, Cinnamon 4.6.7 running on an AMD Phenom II X4 Black edition processor with 8GB of DRAM.

Looks like it needs to be fitTED into a frame

I fitted some like that 30 years ago and over the past few years replaced them all with "standard" type as I refurbished each room.

The front panel/rocker wasn't smooth plastic but a rough spark eroded type surface texture and looked somewhat dirty once operated by someone with unwashed hands. It was removable and easy to wash.
