The black porcelain diverter with butterfly nut is the ideal component to give a vintage touch to an exposed electrical system. The butterfly nut is a distinctive feature, making the product particularly original and in keeping with the retro look of the electrical system. This component is used to turn a single light on and off from multiple points, using the rotation of the nut.

What is a two-way switch?

This is an electrical component used in an installation to control the flow of electric current in one or more directions. The switch therefore allows you to select a specific power source by interrupting the current flow. It is generally used to control the lighting in a room (for example, to turn a lamp on or off). The black porcelain switch with butterfly nut is an elegant and refined option to replace a standard switch in a surface-mounted electrical system.

What is the difference between a current switch and a two-way switch?

Both are electrical devices designed to interrupt or direct the flow of current in a circuit. However, there are some differences between the two.

• The switch is a single-pole device, designed to interrupt or allow the flow of current in just one circuit. A switch can therefore open or close only one electrical circuit and is used to turn lights, sockets, and other electrical devices on and off from a single point.
• The switch, on the other hand, is a multipole device, meaning it is designed to direct the flow of current to two or more circuits. The switch can connect or disconnect two or more electrical circuits, allowing you to change the direction of the current flow. It can therefore be used to turn a single light on and off from multiple points, using different buttons.

This product can be used either as a diverter or as a switch, depending on the requirements of the electrical system.

For what reasons should you choose a porcelain diverter switch?

Porcelain is an excellent material for electrical systems as it is insulating and heat-resistant. Moreover, porcelain lends itself well to being shaped and decorated, making a switch made from this material not only functional, but also attractive for any wall lighting system.

What are the technical features of a porcelain two-way switch?

The black porcelain diverter switch with butterfly nut is ideal for turning a single light on and off from multiple locations, using different switches. This means you can have more precise control over the room’s lighting, switching the light on and off from various points without having to move from one side of the room to the other. Furthermore, thanks to its compatibility with vintage electrical systems, it can be used to restore the original appearance of a period home, with an added touch of originality provided by the component’s black colour.

Why choose a diverter with butterfly nut?

The wing nut is a design element, by Creative-Cables, that makes this switch unique. Also known as a butterfly or wing nut, it is still used today to hand-tighten furniture or electrical components. Not only does it give the electrical system a vintage look, but it is also extremely easy to use. Thanks to its shape, you can switch the light on and off with a simple twist.

The elegance of the colour black

The black porcelain two-way switch with butterfly nut stands out for its refined colour, adding a touch of class and personality to any room. Black is a versatile colour that pairs easily with different interior styles, adapting to both modern and vintage settings. Moreover, you can choose your preferred colour from those we offer for the butterfly nut, for a fully customised quality component.

In summary, the black porcelain two-way switch with butterfly nut is a functional and original component, perfect for a vintage electrical system, even when combined with braided cables and porcelain junction boxes. If you are looking to restore the original look of a period home or want to add a vintage touch to your electrical system, it is the right choice for you.
