Buster + Punch 1G Dimmer Switch 120W - Black Back Plate & Cross Knurl Pattern

Solid Metal, Softer Light

A dimmer switch is usually the last thing anyone notices on a wall. This one asks to be touched. It's machined from solid metal, not stamped from thin steel or moulded in plastic, and finished in a durable, UV stabilised PU coating built to take decades of thumbs and fingers. Turn the diamond cut cross knurl knob once and you'll understand why people who've never cared about a light switch before start caring about this one.

Choose Your Finish

The plate stays flat and understated, so the personality comes from the detail kit, the dimmer knob and coin screws. Pick Steel for a cooler, industrial edge, Brass for warmth against darker paint or wood, or Black if you'd rather the switch disappeared into a black wall or door frame.

How It Works

Behind the plate sits a rotary dimmer module with electronic soft start, easing your lights up from off rather than snapping them straight to full brightness. It's a two way switch rated at 10AX, dimming LED bulbs from 5 to 120W, or incandescent and halogen from 60 to 400W, on standard UK 230 to 240V wiring at 50Hz.

Where It Works Best

A single gang dimmer like this suits any room where one circuit does the job: a bedroom pendant, a run of hallway downlights, a reading lamp circuit in a study. Once one wall spot needs to run more than one circuit, spotlights and a floor lamp in an open plan living room, say, that's the point to look at the 2G, 3G or 4G versions instead, which group several dimmer modules behind one plate rather than lining switches up side by side.

Made By Buster + Punch

Buster + Punch was started in 2013 by Massimo Buster Minale, an architect who spent his days at firms like Foster and Partners and his nights building custom motorbikes in a garage in Shoreditch. The habit of making every part himself, rather than buying it in, never left him, and it's why the fittings in this collection are still worked in solid metal rather than the plastic most houses get fitted with by default.
