An architrave switch is a type of light switch that is designed to be mounted onto the surface of a wall. It is called an architrave switch because it is often used in conjunction with architraves, which are decorative mouldings that are placed around doorways and windows.

Architrave switches are typically rectangular in shape and feature one or more rocker switches that can be used to turn lights on and off. They are wired directly into the electrical system of a building and are often used in situations where it is not practical or desirable to install a traditional wall switch, such as in narrow hallways, small rooms, or areas with limited wall space.

Architrave switches are available in a variety of styles and finishes to match the decor of the room in which they are installed. They are often used in commercial buildings, hotels, and other public spaces, as well as in homes where a clean and minimalistic look is desired.
