General product information
-
Rotary switches are a relic from earlier times. But they are now available again, also as a variant for today's standard flush-mounted installation. With rotary switches, switching on the light becomes a conscious act of switching on the light again - with a small audible "click".
The COLONIAL porcelain switch system is manufactured in Spain by the long-established manufacturer FONTINI, whose products we distribute in Germany. Porcelain has always been a popular material in electrical engineering: porcelain has a crystal-clear aesthetic, a pleasant feel and particularly good insulating properties.
