2-Way Bakelite Pull Switch

£96.00

Authentic Period Style Pull Switch

Bring authentic period detail to your home with this beautifully crafted 2-Way Bakelite Pull Switch, inspired by classic early- to mid-20th-century designs. Combining timeless vintage styling with dependable modern performance, it makes an excellent choice for bathrooms, cloakrooms, utility rooms, and traditional interiors.

Unlike standard plastic pull switches, this reproduction adds genuine character while providing a practical everyday lighting solution.

Natural Oak Base Ready to Finish

The switch sits on a solid 100mm diameter natural oak base. Because the oak is supplied unfinished, you can stain, wax, oil, or varnish it to complement your existing décor. As a result, it blends beautifully into both restored period properties and contemporary homes with traditional styling.

In addition, each pull switch includes 1.5 metres of durable cotton cord, which you can shorten during installation to achieve the perfect length.

Choose Your Finish

Select the finish that best suits your interior:

  • Brown Bakelite dome with natural oak base, black cotton cord and oak teardrop pull
  • White Bakelite dome with natural oak base, white cotton cord and oak teardrop pull

Both options faithfully recreate the appearance of original Bakelite fittings while meeting modern manufacturing standards.

Modern Performance

The integrated 2-way switching mechanism allows you to control the same light from two separate switch positions. Consequently, the switch combines traditional appearance with practical functionality.

It complies with BS EN60669-1 and carries a 250V~10AX rating for reliable everyday use.
