Installation

Because of the modular nature of European wiring accessories, installation is slightly different to fitting the encapsulated (moulded) switches and sockets common in the UK. Have a look at the step-by-step pictures below, or consult the more detailed Gira rocker switch installation instructions.

NB: We used a European round box in the step-by-step pictures, but the procedure is the same for square UK boxes.

Please refer to our Installation section for more installation advice, manuals and helpful videos.

Dimensions

Does this cover a standard UK back box?
This product covers a standard metal knockout box, but it doesn't cover the edges of plastic "dry-lining" boxes. If you can't fit a metal flush box, we recommend using "flat plate" drywall boxes or European round boxes.

The concept

In case we here at Swtch needed any more proof that even humble white plastic accessories can transform an interior, along comes the E3 range from Gira in Germany.

This purists’ cousin of the E3 Soft Touch range and its earthy neutrals – for example in grey or dark brown varieties – combines gentle contours with a clean white glossy finish.

The detail

The gently curved contours of E3 White are not unlike Berker’s R.1 design, but feature a more geometric, rectangular centre and a dividing line on the side of the frame.

A BASIC BUT ELEGANT DESIGN THAT SOFTLY SPEAKS VOLUMES

The inspiration

We see this as a personable go-to range. It is a pleasingly symmetrical piece that’s the slightly softer big sister of the more basic incarnation – white, sharp-edged, gloss – found alone or stacked on walls in Scandinavian homes to operate much-needed overhead and tasked lighting during the long, dark winters. In UK homes, its size and shape alone will stand to make a difference.

The takeaway is that, whether brought in to sit on matt, flat colour, or to tone in with one shade within a brilliantly busy wallpaper, this is an easygoing, go-to, usable switch that softly speaks volumes.
