Description
A knurled brass toggle, and the small click that ends the evening.
Brio is a toggle switch on a solid brass plate, with a finely ridged toggle that gives your thumb something to hold. It comes in Brushed Brass, Aged Brass or Matte Black with Brass, on plates of one to five positions, for a single hall light or a whole run of kitchen circuits. Friends still at the table, plates cleared, and your thumb finds the ridges without looking.
Why you will love it
- Toggles, dimmers and outlets in the same three finishes, so a whole run of plates reads as one.
- Arrives assembled, ready for a standard US box, in the same three finishes as the rest of Brio.
- Finishes applied to the metal itself, so they age with the house instead of peeling.
- Thirty days to live with it, and a year of cover on every piece.

Installation guide
Replaces an existing US standard switch in about five minutes. Have a licensed electrician fit it if you are not comfortable with wiring.
- Turn off the power. Switch off the circuit at the breaker or fuse box before you touch anything.
- Remove the old cover plate. Take out the screws holding the existing plate, lift it away and set it aside.
- Take out the old switch. Unscrew the old switch from the electrical box and ease it forward so you can reach the wiring.
- Disconnect the wires. Free the wires from the old switch. If they are wrapped around screws, loosen the screws. If they are pushed into holes at the back, cut them and strip the ends with a wire stripper.
- Connect the wires to the Brio switch. Black (live) to the brass or black screw, white (neutral) to the silver screw if your switch calls for it, green or bare copper to the green ground screw. Tighten each connection firmly.
- Secure the new switch. Fold the wires back into the box, line up the switch and fasten it with the screws supplied.
- Fit the brass plate. Set the Brio plate over the module and tighten the two face screws with a flathead screwdriver.
- Turn the power back on. Reset the breaker or fuse at the panel.
- Test it. Flip the toggle up and down. The light should switch cleanly on and off.
If anything is unclear at any step, stop and call a licensed electrician. We recommend professional installation.
Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. No abrasives, no polish. Brass is meant to age with the house.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it fit a standard US wall box?
Yes. Every Brio plate mounts to a standard US box, one gang per position, using the screws already in the box.
Do I need an electrician?
Yes. It is a short job for a licensed electrician, and it keeps the warranty intact.
Will the dimmer work with my LED bulbs?
With dimmable LED lamps, yes. Check the lamp packaging for the word dimmable before you order.
Can I mix a toggle, a dimmer and an outlet on one plate?
Yes. That is what the Build Your Own plate is for. Choose the plate size, then what each position does.
Which finish should I choose?
Brushed Brass reads warm and quiet, Aged Brass darker and softer, Matte Black with Brass sharp against pale walls. The sample kit lets you hold all three against your own wall.
Will the finish wear where I touch it?
The finish is on the brass itself, so it softens with use rather than peeling. Aged Brass is meant to darken further.
Do you offer trade pricing?
Yes. Interior designers, architects and builders can apply to the trade program for preferred pricing, samples and help planning full-room hardware schedules.
