A great companion to mid-century design and furniture, the materials of this range set it apart from any other switch we’ve seen. It has a smooth matt surface, a slightly raised profile and the well-proportioned modernist shape of Gira’s Esprit range.
The central dimmer control is available in glossy or matt white. The push dimmer units, made by ION in the Netherlands, use the “Trailing Edge” dimming principle and have a maximum load of 200W for the single and 150W for the double
Gira has a huge range of wiring products, functions and devices that can be combined with these frames. Contact us for information on other options if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

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