Switch collection

Cockpit.

A two-way switch with a cone-shaped knob and knurled grip, designed for spaces where the switch is part of the character of the room. Handcrafted in Belgium.

Lithoss Cockpit — cone knob switch, handcrafted in Belgium
The deliberate choice

Select is the architectural default — restrained, minimal, resolved.
Cockpit is the deliberate choice.

The cone-shaped knob and knurled grip give Cockpit a presence on the wall that a flat push button does not have. It is the right switch for a room where the specification has been considered at a level of detail that extends to every piece of hardware on the wall. A study. A private dining room. A hospitality suite where warmth matters more than minimalism. A bar where the detail is part of the atmosphere.

Available in standard and KNX-integrated variants. The choice between Cockpit and Select is a design decision. The finish, the lead time, and the ordering process are identical.

Available frames

Three frames. One collection.

Cockpit, Opera Cockpit, and Circum Cockpit share the same finish library, technology variants, and engraving options.
The frame is the only variable.

Codes 31 and 35 differ structurally: code 31 is Matt White plate + Textured Black surround + Textured Black cone (three components), while code 35 is Matt White plate + Textured Black cone only (two components). Same visual result from the front; the surround element distinguishes them. Confirm with FD which applies to your module configuration.
Cone — matching
Bronze Antique
Bronze Antique plate with a matching Bronze Antique cone. A warm, tonal combination in aged metal — one of the most specified Cockpit finishes.

Technology · Integration

Specifies alongside Select
on the same system.

Cockpit is a mechanical push button with a dry contact output. It wires directly into Crestron, Control4, Lutron HomeWorks, Savant, Vantage, and RTI with no additional hardware — the same integration path as Select. Place Select keypads in primary rooms and Cockpit as a toggle accent in a study, a hall, an entry. Both on the same system. Both in the same finish.

Push button · Primary integration path

Wires into the control system already on the project.

The push button sends a momentary dry contact signal into the I/O module already in the rack. No additional hardware at the switch location. The integrator maps it to an input and programmes the scene. The same workflow as any other dry contact device on the system — no new skills, no new hardware, no additional cost per location.

Compatible systems
Crestron · Control4 · Lutron HomeWorks · Savant ·
Vantage · RTI
Best for
Any primary room location on an existing control system. Specified alongside Select — same finish library, same system, same installation team.
KNX · Via external interface

KNX projects with an interface module.

Cockpit has no on-board KNX chip. For KNX projects, an external interface module is required at each Cockpit location. The push button dry contact connects to the module, which sends KNX commands onto the bus. Confirm module compatibility and box depth with the KNX integrator before specifying.

Requirement
External interface module required at each location. Confirm box depth with your KNX integrator before specifying.
Note
Cockpit has no on-board Casambi. For wireless control, specify the Select collection which carries the Casambi mains and battery variants.
For designers Cockpit and Select share the same finish library. Specify both in the same finish
and they read as one family across the project — whether they are on the same control system or not.

Two-way switch variant available for standalone locations not on a control system.
