Shopping for custom Clipsal Iconic dollies? Push button, rocker or power point dolly? Check which Clipsal Iconic part you need before ordering, then explore colours, Styl options, engraving and UV printing.
Shopping for custom Clipsal Iconic dollies? Before choosing your icons, wording or colour, check one thing: does your existing switch push inward, or rock from one side to the other? Similar-looking fronts do not mean the parts are interchangeable.
A push button cap will not turn a rocker switch into a push button. Choose the part to suit the mechanism already installed.
A dolly is the visible cap you touch to operate the switch. The switch mechanism behind it determines how it works. The right label is useful; the right fitting is essential.
A rocker pivots when you press one side, then moves back when you press the other. Depending on the plate orientation, this may feel like up and down or side to side. If your switch flicks between positions like a traditional light switch, start with our engraved Clipsal Iconic rocker dollies.
A push button is operated by pressing inward rather than tilting the face. Push button controls can have different functions depending on the mechanism, so choose the cap for your particular control. Our engraved push button dollies are a separate product from the rocker version.
Do not choose by the square shape alone. Both styles can look similar from the front. Check the action, range and product details.
These suit a compatible switch with three selectable positions. Our custom engraved 3-position dollies allow labels for each position. Supply your wording in top-to-bottom order and check it against what your installed switch actually does.
The switches beside your power point sockets may rock on and off, but their caps are different from the standard Clipsal Iconic light switch rocker dollies. The rocking action alone does not mean our light switch dollies will fit.
If you want to label an electrical outlet, do not order a light switch dolly for it. Contact us first with a clear photo of the complete power point, its range or model if known, and the wording or icon you want. We can check the appropriate part and customisation options before you purchase.
Some power points also have an extra switch for a separate light or appliance. That extra switch is different from the switches operating the sockets, so tell us exactly which one you want labelled.
Buying a cover plate does not replace the electrical mechanism, and buying a dolly does not include the surrounding plate. Read the inclusions on the product you select. If you would like to buy a coverplate with the dollies, let me know!
There are two choices to make here: the range or style, and the colour or finish. Neither replaces the need to check your switch type.
Our engraved rocker listing includes Vivid White, Extra White, Anthracite and Extra Black. Push button and 3-position colour options can differ, so use the selections on the relevant listing.
Clipsal also lists Cool Grey and Warm Grey for some standard Iconic parts. That does not mean every colour is offered on every DCaL listing. If the finish you need is not shown, contact us to check availability and customisation options.
Iconic Styl is the metallic-look range with Silver, Silver Shadow and Crowne finishes. Clipsal describes the Styl cover plates as aluminium with a satin, sandblasted finish; the button caps are separate components, so do not assume every Styl part is solid metal.
We also have most of the Clipsal Iconic Styl dolly range available to engrave on order. These versions are not listed on our website yet. Contact us with your finish, switch type, quantities and design so we can confirm the correct parts, availability, engraving result and price.
Essence is another Iconic style, recognised by its timber-edged cover plates and Arctic White or Ash Grey finishes. If you have Essence, send us a photo and the part details before choosing a standard or Styl dolly. We will confirm whether we can help with your particular request.
The wider Clipsal catalogue is not a list of everything we stock. Check our product options or ask us about your specific style.
Laser marking creates the lettering or icon directly on the genuine Clipsal dolly. It is not an adhesive label. We choose the marking process to suit the part and finish, which means the result can differ between colours.
Engraving is a good option for clear room names, lighting labels and simple icons. Choose text only, an icon only, or an icon with text where the listing offers it. Think “PANTRY”, “DECK LIGHTS” or a fan icon, rather than a mystery switch everyone has to test.
Keep wording short. A small cap has limited space, and extra words mean smaller lettering. Check the icon chart and layout guidance on the product page, or ask us about a custom label.
Anthracite will not engrave WHITE. It is a muted off-white / light grey. Please review photos before purchasing.
If you want brighter white lettering on Anthracite, ask us about UV printing with white ink before ordering.
The engraved colour comes from the marking result on that material, rather than white ink being added. Lighting, camera exposure and your screen can affect its appearance, so review the close-up examples as well as the overall product photos.
For someone wanting stronger white contrast, UV printing can be a better choice. Tell us whether you want engraved light-grey lettering or printed white lettering so we can quote the finish you actually want.
UV printing adds ink to the surface and cures it using ultraviolet light. It gives us colour options that laser marking alone cannot provide, including brighter white lettering on Anthracite.
It also opens up practical designs such as:
Browse our UV printed Clipsal Iconic rocker dollies. For push button, Styl or another unlisted combination, contact us first to confirm suitability and availability. A printed design still needs the right cap for your switch.
Different processes produce different finishes. Neither should be treated as scratch-proof, and neither changes the operation of the underlying switch.
Why stop at the little button? Our UV printed Clipsal Iconic cover plates customise the larger surround, turning an everyday fitting into part of the room.
Options on the listing include wood grain, marble-inspired prints, clouds, ocean designs and more, plus a fully custom option. Fully custom can be a colour to match a tile,. or something completely unique! These are printed designs: a marble or wood-grain appearance does not mean the plate is made from marble or timber.
Choose the correct plate configuration for your existing fitting. The number and arrangement of switch openings, power point layout and orientation matter. A dolly colour alone will not identify the right cover plate.
The cover plate listing is for the cover plate & dollies only. Mechanisms are not included.
Deep Cuts & Layers is part of Volt Electrical, whose team works primarily on new home builds and display homes. Our custom dolly range grew from seeing a practical need for switches that are clearly labelled and look right in a finished space.

No. These are different parts for different switch actions. Select a compatible rocker dolly for a rocking switch and a compatible push button cap for a push button control.
Operate the switch normally and check whether the face tilts or presses inward. Confirm that it is the Clipsal Iconic range and match the relevant style. If you are unsure, send a photo and describe the movement before purchasing.
No. The label identifies the function; the electrical mechanism determines it. A new cap cannot convert a rocker into a push button or add dimming.
No. Anthracite engraving is muted off-white or light grey. Review the photos before ordering. For brighter white text, ask about white UV printing.
Yes. UV printing allows colour, including red warning text and coloured icons. Send your design and the dolly details so we can check the layout and suitable options.
Yes. We have most of the Styl dolly range available to engrave on order, although these versions are not listed online yet. Contact us with the finish, switch type, quantity and design.
No. Our dolly listings supply the customised cap only, and our cover plate listing supplies the customised surround only. Check each listing for its exact inclusions.
Clipsal describes Iconic skins as changeable after the base installation is completed by an electrician. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your exact part. Any work involving wiring, mechanisms or the electrical installation needs a licensed electrician. If you are unsure, ask your electrician.
Do not guess. Contact DCaL with a clear photo, any known model details and a description of how it operates. We can help check the options before you order.
Check the switch action first, then choose your finish and design. Shop engraved rocker dollies, engraved push button dollies, 3-position dollies, UV printed rockers or custom printed cover plates.
A few checks now save ordering a beautifully labelled part that does not fit.
