Keith,

As Des suggests, I don't think it is possible - they're not listed on the
MK site AFAICS. When I was looking in B&Q, there were a number of
faceplates (not sure if MK though) where some 'erberts had been removing
the plastic part of the rocker, exposing the switch proper below. Whether
you can do it yourself so you could replace the PRESS with a non-press
labelled one I don't know.

The grid stuff looks good, particularly if you want more than one switch
per single gang box (not an unusual requirement). Two reasons why I didn't
go for it though a) the equivalent switch would've been about 15quid
(decorative faceplate + grid plate + switch module, whereas mine was about
3 quid), and the switch is going inside a wardrobe so looks weren't really
an issue (PRESS is better than a bell though :-)  )

I'd certainly recommend MK on quality grounds, and www.simplyautomate.com
were very helpful in pointing me to some grid ones :-)

Cheers,

Tim.
