Whether you’re restoring a historic property, designing a heritage-style kitchen, or adding traditional flair to a bespoke project, this 6-way Bakelite switch unit is the perfect combination of form and function. With its refined finish and vintage detail, it’s particularly well suited to Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, and Arts & Crafts interiors.
Authentic Vintage Styling, Modern Switching Capability
Each of the six individual 2-way Bakelite switches allows control of a separate lighting circuit from two different locations, offering maximum flexibility. Whether you’re managing multiple ceiling pendants, wall lights, or a mix of ambient and task lighting, this 6-gang switch unit offers complete control while preserving your home’s historic character.
The tactile Bakelite toggles replicate the look and feel of original early electric fittings, while internally, the switch mechanisms are built to meet modern UK electrical standards. Each Bakelite switch has a 52mm diameter, carefully spaced for usability and visual balance across the wide oak backplate.
