Anchor Roma 10A 2 Way Switch (1M)

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Rated current: 10 A (10 AX) at ~240 V AC for the standard version. Switch type: 2-Way meaning the same lighting circuit (or load) can be controlled from two different switch points. Model/Part No: 21022 is the commonly referenced code for this variant. Module size: 1 Module (“1M”) version for wall plate mounting. Colour/Finish: White finish is typical for this variant. Material & Build: Made from good quality polycarbonate/thermoset plastic. The catalogue mentions “thermosetting plastic” for similar series. Compliance & Standards: The product listing states “Standards: ISI” which indicates it conforms to Indian Standards. --- Typical Use-Cases & Considerations This switch is ideal when you want to control a light or load from two locations — for example at both ends of a corridor, staircase lighting from top and bottom, or in larger rooms with two entrances. Since it’s rated for 10 A, it’s suited for standard lighting/fan circuits or moderate loads — not heavy loads (motors, large AC units) unless the wiring and load are verified. Because it’s from the Anchor Roma series (a well-known Indian brand) you’ll likely find matching plates/frames and spare parts easily. In humid/coastal locations (such as Chennai) ensure proper installation: back-box depth, correct wiring, good termination, and that the modular frame/plate is properly sealed to prevent dust/ingress. Ensure the wiring for two way switching is correctly done: you’ll have two switches wired appropriately (common feed, two travellers) so both locations can act. Use a qualified electrician if unsure. --- Things to Check / Before Buying Confirm module size: Although the listing I'm citing is 1 Module, ensure your wall plate and gang supports the module size. Confirm part number: The 21022 is common, but variants (colours, finishes, antimicrobial coating) may have different codes. Confirm finish: If you have other switches of a particular finish (white gloss, cream, antique, etc), pick a matching one for aesthetic consistency. Confirm load rating: Make sure 10A is sufficient for your circuit. If you’re controlling heavy loads, you may need a 16A or 20A variant. Check that the wiring is correct for 2-way operation: The switch needs proper wiring (common feed, two way legs) for two-location control. If your wiring only supports one location, a 1-way switch would suffice. Ensure you buy from an authorised dealer to guarantee genuine product, warranty, and correct build. Inspect installation: Ensure the switch is properly seated in the plate/frame, terminals are tight, wires of correct gauge, and no signs of heating or loosening over time. --- Summary The Anchor Roma 10 A 2-Way Switch (model 21022) is a solid, budget-friendly modular switch option when you need two-location control for lighting or moderate loads in Indian homes or offices. Good brand, decent build, modular compatibility — with the usual cautions about correct wiring, load matching and installation quality.
