BG Evolve PCDCP42B 20A 16AX 2W Double Light Switch - Polished Copper

BG Evolve PCDCP42B-01 Polished Copper Double Light Switch

Control two separate lighting circuits while adding a warm metallic feature to the room with the BG Evolve PCDCP42B-01 Polished Copper Double 2-Way Light Switch.

This decorative two-gang switch combines two independent rocker mechanisms within one standard single-gang plate. Each rocker offers 2-way switching, allowing two separate lights or lighting circuits to be controlled from one position or from two locations when paired with compatible 2-way switches.

The reflective Polished Copper plate, contrasting black rockers and slim screwless profile make it a distinctive choice for modern kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, apartments, hotels, restaurants and premium commercial interiors.

Two Independent Light Switches

The PCDCP42B-01 contains two individual rocker switches, allowing customers to control two separate lighting circuits from one wall position.

It can be used for combinations such as:

• Main ceiling lights and pendant lights
• Kitchen ceiling lights and under-cabinet lighting
• Living-room lights and wall lights
• Bathroom ceiling lights and suitable secondary lighting
• Bedroom main lights and decorative lighting
• Indoor lighting and suitable exterior lighting circuits
• Two separate lighting zones within an open-plan room

Each rocker operates independently, giving users convenient control without requiring two separate wall plates.

2-Way Switching on Both Rockers

Both switches have a 2-way mechanism. This means each connected lighting circuit can be controlled from a second position when paired with another compatible 2-way switch.

Typical applications include:

• Hallways with controls at both ends
• Staircases with upstairs and downstairs switches
• Bedrooms with doorway and bedside controls
• Open-plan rooms with more than one entrance
• Kitchens with separate access points
• Hotel rooms and corridors
• Large residential and commercial spaces

The switch can also be wired for standard one-way operation where lighting control is only required from one position.

20A 16AX Electrical Rating

The PCDCP42B-01 is rated at 20A and 16AX. BG lists an operating voltage of 220–240V, while the official technical specification gives a nominal rating of 250V AC.

The 16AX inductive rating makes the switch suitable for appropriate lighting circuits, including compatible loads that may draw increased current during switching.

The connected lighting equipment, protective device and circuit must remain within the manufacturer’s ratings. This product is a mechanical rocker switch and does not provide dimming, timing, motion detection or smart-home control.
