The lighting side covers downlights, bulkheads, battens, floodlights and LED flex, and the brand also makes PIR and photocell sensors, extractor fans, wireless door chimes, LED drivers, voltage testers and bi-metal holesaws.

Choosing Knightsbridge Electrical

Begin with the room or the job, then use the product code to keep one plate style and finish across the points you fit.

Plate ranges by code

On wiring accessories, a Knightsbridge code usually opens with letters for the plate range and closes with letters for the finish. The table gives one socket or switch per range, so you can see how a family looks before choosing the rest of it.

Matching finishes

The closing letters carry the finish across sockets and switches: the CL9BC socket and CL2BC switch are both brushed chrome, and the SFR9000MW socket and SF2000MW switch are both matt white. On some metal sockets a final G or W adds an insert colour, as the CL7BCG has a grey insert and the CL7BCW a white one.

Lighting

The lighting range takes in fire-rated GU10 downlights such as the FireNova FRNTMW, integrated LED downlights such as the SpektroLED Evo SPKEVF, CCT-selectable bulkheads and battens, IP65 non-corrosive fittings and floodlights. Strip lighting covers 24V LED flex such as the LFC24IPDL and linkable under-cabinet striplights such as the UCLED18WW.

Controls, ventilation and tools

Beyond sockets and lights, the brand covers sensors such as the OS0014B mini PIR and the OSPCKIT photocell, 100mm extractor fans such as the EX1THWH with an overrun timer and humidistat, and wireless door chimes such as the DC014 for two entrances. For the installer there are LED drivers such as the 24DC100D, the TE1 two-pole voltage tester, the TE3 socket tester and bi-metal holesaws such as the HS20MM.

Frequently asked questions

What types of Knightsbridge sockets are there?

Knightsbridge sockets come in several plate styles, such as moulded white, screwless, flat-plate metal, heavy-duty metal clad and weatherproof outdoor sockets. Within a style you can usually choose single or double, switched or unswitched, and some add neon indicators. The range here includes sockets in moulded, metal and outdoor styles.

How do you match Knightsbridge switches and sockets?

Pick one plate range and finish, then use that range for the sockets, switches, dimmers and outlets in a room. Knightsbridge codes help here, because the closing letters usually show the finish, so a brushed chrome socket and switch share the same ending. On metal plates, check the insert colour too. The range here includes matching sockets and switches in several finishes.

Is Knightsbridge a good electrical brand?

Yes, Knightsbridge makes wiring accessories and lighting to recognised standards, and many of its 13A sockets are certified to BS 1363. Its range is broad, so one brand can cover sockets, switches, downlights, LED drivers and testers on a single install. As with any brand, check that a product suits the job and its location.
