Hi Paul,
I just asked them about white plastic ones and they told me that they
don't
do white, plastic plates, while I found some on the web site:

Now, I'm waiting for clarification. 
Sadly, they don't have any pictures or more details. Those buttons
"more
information" are leading to "no more information"
messages.

The ones I went for are their classic series 3 (raised, curved edge
plate - their series 2 are a completely flat plate design). Yes, they
describe the Push to make switch as retractive. You also need to bear
in
mind that they are a modular, grid system so you need a grid (clear
plastic holder), switch module (x1,2, 3 or 4 depending on number of
gangs) and a plate (cover). The switches I have are part No: 15/SC
(satin chrome). They also do a 2 way & off retractive, which is
essentially 2 push-to-make switches in one - so you could push UP to
trigger one light and DOWN to trigger another. The two positions did
feel slightly different when pushed though (I've got a sample).



Paul.

Paul

I can't see any reference to momentary switches on the Wandsworth site
-
are
they the "reatractive" ones ?
