This Part M grid panel combines eight intelligent dual mode dimmers on a single graphite front plate with white control dials.
Part M of the Building Regulations requires that switches can be seen and located easily by people with impaired vision, and contrast is how that is achieved. The graphite plate stands out against a light-coloured wall and the white dials stand out against the plate. There is no visible plastic around the control dials and the screws are colour matched, so nothing interrupts the contrast. The front plate matches the power products across the Part M range.
