    Product Description

    Bakelite Look Brown Light and GPO Switch
    These authentic looking Bakelite Switches are the perfect match when used with the Bakelite GPO Bake 56B mounted on a cedar strained mounting block.

    Suitable Mounting Blocks can be found by Clicking HERE
    Unfortunately this light switch is no longer made of true Bakelite and is now manufactured in brown plastic still using quality GSM / Trader components.
    The appearance is extremely close to the original Bakelite Switch produced by Clipsal in earlier years.
    Clipsal Part Number No 363 Series. 

    Manufacturing of the true Bakelite Switches and Sockets ceased some years ago so unless stated "Genuine Bakelite" you will find all of these Switches and GPO'S in the market place are in fact made of plastic. 

    TERMINOLOGY FOR EACH SWITCH
    One Way - Two Way: 20 amp
    2 WAY SWITCH = 1 Switch to 1 Light OR 2 Switches to 1 Light.
    Rating: 240 - 250 Volt 20 amp 16AX

      BAKE 55B switch

      Posted by Ian on 31st May 2020

      As Shaun said, prompt service, quick delivery, switches installed and working well. Bought 4 to replace older plastic ones with dodgy contacts. New ones have slightly longer toggles so had to move some older working ones for consistency

      Good Product

      Posted by Daniels on 26th May 2020

      Good replacement for my old bakelite switches. Wish they had the small depression and red dot for the "on" position that the originals had but still a beautiful switch.
