Decorative Accessories

Screwless plates have no visible fixing screws, while flat plate accessories have a thin metal plate with an ultra-low profile. In Knightsbridge codes, SF and SFR are the screwless range, FP and FPR the flat plate range, CS is square edge and CL rounded edge. The choice is mainly about the look, so pick one style and keep to it across the room.

Yes, within one Knightsbridge range and finish. In brushed chrome screwless, for example, there is the SF4100BC 4G light switch, the SFR7000BC switched socket, the SF1DIMBC dimmer plate, the SF81MNBC 45A cooker switch and the SF1100BC fan isolator. Check the insert colour too, as some sockets have black, grey or white inserts.

Several do, with USB-A and USB-C ports. The CS9940BCW and FPR9940BCW have dual USB A+C with 4.0A shared, the CS9945AB gives up to 45W over USB-C for tablets and laptops, and the FPR7USB4PCG has a quad USB charger on a single socket. The CS9905BCG adds a 3W RMS Bluetooth speaker to a switched socket with dual USB.

Yes, with dimmable LED lamps within the rating. Intelligent dimmers such as the CS2194BC and FP2191BC are rated 10-200W, or 5-150W for LED, and the CS2194BC switches between trailing-edge and leading-edge modes from its control knob. Knightsbridge advises against mixing lamp brands or wattages on the same dimmer.

Yes, the dual voltage shaver sockets are designed for bathrooms: models such as the CS89BC and CL89PC are rated IP41 and give 115V or 230V at 20VA. A shaver socket is not a general power socket and will not run a hair dryer. Follow the bathroom zone rules, or ask your electrician, for where it can be fitted.

Yes. The FPR7UBCW is a 13A single unswitched floor socket with a spring-loaded cover, and the FPR9UBBW is a 2 gang version that fits a standard 35mm back box. For data or AV points in the floor, the FPF2GBC modular floor plate has a spring-loaded lid over its modules. Knightsbridge describes the FPR9UBBW as suited to hotels and office complexes.

It isolates a cooker on a 45A double pole switch and adds a 13A socket on the same plate, with neon indicators showing when they are on. Models such as the CL83MNPC and FPR83MNBC combine the two. For a cooker switch alone, the SF81MNBC has one gang and the CS82MNAB two, and the SF81MNBC needs a box at least 47mm deep.

Grid lets you build one plate from several switch modules. GDM modules, such as the GDM006AB 20AX 2-way retractive switch or the GDM021BB fan isolator key switch, clip into a mounting frame that is sold separately, and a faceplate such as the 6G GDSF006PC covers them. Interchangeable covers marked FAN, OVEN or HOB label the appliance switches in a kitchen.

Yes, the anthracite Curved Edge PM range. Knightsbridge states it complies with Building Regulations Part M, with a light reflectance value of about 8.9 so the plate contrasts with the wall. Models include the PM9001N 13A 2G switched socket, which is anti-microbial, the PM1G, PM2G and PM4G modular faceplates, and the PMG6 and PMG8 grid faceplates.
