Moisture resistant 2g plate switch - internal

[DaveyD]

Hi Everyone

I'm look for a customer who wants switching in his bathroom via plate switches INSIDE the bathroom - no to pull switches and no to switches outside the room. He is out of zones. I can't find a moisture resistant plate switch that does not look external. Have you used one before?
TIA
David

That a standard plate switch is not sutible to moisture. The steam does not get to 0.60m past the bath and then stop "Suitable" I think it says.

Tee Hee, as soon as I hit post I knew it was coming. Well done tel.

if its a small bathroom and a 2 gang switcch you could add both cables together, so both lights come on together, and put on a wall kout pir, which look pretty cool

what about using 12 v lights, then switching the ELV side from inside the bathroom? (tin hat!)

He wants independant lighting control

Use a flat plate touch sensitive remote switch and use a gasket or sealant round the edge.

The flat plate will not hold moisture, the remote switch will be ELV and moisture will not get behind if sealed (though this is overkill when you think of FCUs, pull cords etc in bathrooms.)

Thanks Richard, will look into this. I have seen the tile over touch switches but never used these.
