How to match cover plate for light switch?

I'm trying to find a cover plate for this light switch. A standard one does not work as most of the switch is raised, and i assume the cover only goes around the outside. Any advice?

Re: cover plate for light switch

Hi @Edgar,

 

It looks like the outside of this DETA Blank Wall Cover Plate would work.

 

You'd just need to pop out the centre, and it should push on around your light switch.

 

Let me know what you think.

Hi @Edgar 

 

My first thought was Clipsal 2000 but having had a look at a plate (I carry some in my vehicle) there are subtle differences such as the slightly recessed area top left. I can't make out if there is a serial number in that area but if there is, it might help narrow down the manufacturer.

 

Actually, strike that, It just occoured to me to zoom in on my browser and I can just make out the word DETA in that top left box so @JacobZ is totally correct.
