These Dolly Switches are moulded in the original Bakelite material and therefore have the feel, look and durability of those original switches whilst conforming to BS EN 60669-1. Offered as a standard 1 or 2 way switch, as well as a push to make link switch, which with the use of our dimming pack gives you the ability to dim your LED, halogen or incandescent lights or daisy chain a number of switches together, as you would should you have an intermediate switch to replace.

The manufacturers of these wood products are a British company who have been designing, manufacturing and distributing electrical wiring accessories for over 25 years, not only for the UK, but internationally too. They understand design is in the detail and so offer a broad range of accessories to compliment any interior.
..................................................
These Wooden Ranges are manufactured from only the best sustainable hardwoods by their skilled craftsmen. They take the environmental responsibility seriously and only source timber from well managed temperate forests and do not use any tropical timbers. Some of the wood products are unfinished (without a finish applied) these darken naturally over time. Other wood ranges have finishes applied to them, for example, Dark Oak and Mahogany. Please remember these are natural products with varying wood grain as every tree is slightly different to one another, which gives an almost bespoke and beautiful quality with artistic uniqueness.
..................................................
To reduce their impact further they heat the workshop with the waste sawdust and shavings reducing massively what would have been sent to landfill.
..................................................
They strive to offer ranges that are more than just out of the box standard! They like to consider that when you purchase one of their products you are fitting a piece of wall furniture, something that contributes to the overall design of the room.
