Matching a matt black fused spur? Check the model suffix and fuse cover
Several fused spurs in the same decorative range can look almost identical in a product grid. Start with the job specification and the full manufacturer code, then match the finish, switch, indicator and outlet details.

Capture the original finish and details
Take a straight-on photo of the existing front. Include the rocker, fuse cover and any visible cable exit in the frame. Note whether you need the same finish as nearby plates. A black surround with a chrome rocker can look different on the wall from a black-on-black unit.
Read the suffix before ordering
Knightsbridge lists SF6300MBB as the switched matt black unit with a black fuse cover and no neon indicator. The same range includes separate unswitched, neon and flex outlet references. If a gallery shows more than one face, match the order against the manufacturer code on the selected product.
Knightsbridge SF6300MBB
The matt black Knightsbridge switched fused spur shown in the APM product photograph.
The maker lists a 25 mm minimum mounting box depth for SF6300MBB. Confirm the actual back box and cable arrangement with your electrician. The visible projection and the space needed behind the front plate are different measurements.
Write the buying note in plain words
For this example, specify ‘SF6300MBB, matt black, switched, black fuse cover, without neon’. Ask your electrician to confirm the fuse, installation and any outlet requirements before ordering a substitute.
