BG Evolve PCDBC42EB 20A 2W Double Edge Rocker Switch - Black Chrome

BG Evolve PCDBC42EB-01 Black Chrome Double 2-Way Edge Rocker Switch

Create a cleaner, more contemporary lighting-control point with the BG Evolve PCDBC42EB-01 Black Chrome Double 2-Way Edge-to-Edge Rocker Switch.

This modern double light switch features two independent full-face rockers that extend across the accessory plate, providing larger touch points than conventional narrow rocker switches. Its polished Black Chrome finish, coordinated black rockers and concealed screwless design make it ideal for contemporary homes, apartments, hotels, offices and premium commercial interiors.

Two Independent Lighting Controls

The PCDBC42EB-01 contains two individually operated switch mechanisms, allowing two separate lighting circuits or zones to be controlled from one compact wall plate.

Suitable lighting combinations may include:

• Main ceiling lights and wall lights
• Kitchen lighting and under-cabinet lights
• Pendant lighting and recessed downlights
• Living-room lights and decorative lighting
• Bedroom lights and suitable exterior lighting
• Two separate zones within an open-plan room

Each rocker operates independently, allowing one lighting circuit to remain on while the other is switched off.

2-Way Switching on Both Rockers

Both rockers provide 2-way switching. Each connected lighting circuit can therefore be controlled from two separate locations when paired with another compatible 2-way switch.

This makes the switch particularly useful for:

• Hallways with controls at both ends
• Staircases with switches upstairs and downstairs
• Bedrooms with doorway and bedside controls
• Rooms with two entrances
• Open-plan living areas
• Hotel rooms and corridors
• Large residential and commercial spaces

Each mechanism can also be wired for conventional one-position control where a second switch location is not required.

Full-Face Edge-to-Edge Rockers

Unlike the standard PCDBC42B-01, the PCDBC42EB-01 uses two large edge-to-edge rocker surfaces.

The larger operating areas provide:

• More generous touch points
• Straightforward everyday operation
• A cleaner and less cluttered appearance
• Improved visibility compared with narrow rockers
• Contemporary full-face styling

The two rockers divide the front plate evenly, giving the switch a balanced appearance while retaining independent control of both lighting circuits.

20A 16AX Electrical Rating

The PCDBC42EB-01 is rated at 20A and 16AX. BG lists an operating voltage of 220–240V, while the official technical sheet specifies a nominal rating of 250V AC.

The 16AX inductive rating makes the switch suitable for appropriate lighting loads that may experience increased current during switching. Connected lamps, drivers, protective devices and circuit wiring must remain within the manufacturer’s ratings.

This is a mechanical on-and-off light switch. It does not provide dimming, timing, motion sensing or smart-home control.
