FAQs
What type of modules can I use with this grid plate?
This grid plate is specifically designed for Soho Lighting RM modules. It is not compatible with CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 modules.
Does this plate come with switches, or do I need to buy them separately?
This is a grid plate only. You will need to purchase the individual RM modules (switches, sockets, etc.) separately to build your desired configuration.
How many modules can be fitted onto this plate?
The plate is designed to accommodate up to 12 RM modules.
Is the antique brass finish prone to tarnishing?
The antique brass finish is designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. While generally resistant, like all brass finishes, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions could affect it. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended.
Can I mix different types of RM modules on the same plate?
Yes, the key advantage of this grid system is the ability to mix and match various RM modules (e.g., standard switches, intermediate switches, indicator lights) to create a custom panel.
What is the benefit of a screwless design?
A screwless design offers a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding mounting screws. It also simplifies installation and provides a smooth, unbroken surface.
What is included with the grid plate?
The grid plate comes complete with a back frame/yoke and a gasket, essential components for mounting and installation.
