Knightsbridge Electrical

Knightsbridge makes wiring accessories and lighting, and this page brings its products together. On the wiring side there are items such as 13A sockets, light switches, dimmers, fused spurs, Grid modules, pattress boxes and data, TV and telephone outlets. 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

How do I read a Knightsbridge product code?

Read the letters at the two ends: the front usually names the plate range and the back the finish. SF and SFR codes mark the screwless range, FP and FPR the flat plate range and CU the curved edge moulded range, while endings such as BC, PC, AB and MW mean brushed chrome, polished chrome, antique brass and matt white, so the SF2000MW is a matt white screwless switch.

Does Knightsbridge make electrical test equipment?

Yes, the Knightsbridge range includes voltage and socket testers. The TE1 is an IP64 two-pole voltage tester for 12 to 690V AC/DC with an LED and LCD display and a built-in torch. The TE4B is a CAT III non-contact tester for 80-1000V AC with light and sound indication, and the TE3 is a mains powered BS 1363 socket tester that shows common wiring faults.

Is there a Knightsbridge extractor fan for a bathroom?

Yes, the 100mm EX1THWH is suited to bathrooms, utility rooms and toilets. It is rated IP45 for wet environments, runs at 28.5dBA, and has an adjustable overrun timer and an integrated humidistat for moisture control. Other 100mm fans such as the EX3TWH add LED backlighting, and gravity shutters and grilles are ventilation accessories here.
