Product Information

Full details

This Brushed Brass 1 Gang 2 Way 10A Light Switch from The Soho Lighting Company's Savoy Collection is designed for homeowners seeking an elegant and timeless aesthetic, particularly in period-styled or statement properties. Its key benefit is the warm, subtly aged brass finish that blends seamlessly with various interior materials and hides fingerprints. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific requirements for 2-way switching, which is standard but good to be aware of. The switch features a screwless, elegant design with a black insert and is constructed for durability.

FAQs

What does '2 Way Switch' mean?

A 2-way switch allows you to control a single light fixture from two different locations. For example, you can have one switch at the top of the stairs and another at the bottom, both controlling the same stair light.

Can I use this switch to control a light from only one location?

Yes, while designed for 2-way switching, it can be wired as a single switch (1-way) if needed, though many prefer to use 2-way switches universally for future flexibility.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?

No, this switch is designed for indoor use only. It features a moisture-resistant gasket but is not rated for outdoor weather exposure.

What is the size of the switch plate?

The switch plate dimensions are 86mm x 86mm x 4.5mm.

Does this switch come with a back box?

Typically, switches are sold separately from back boxes. You will need a standard UK back box of appropriate depth (usually 35mm or more) for screwless switches.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Product warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product listing or contact the retailer for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on/off with the switch.

Ensure the power is switched off at the mains. Check all wiring connections are secure and correct for a 2-way switching setup. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Switch feels loose or wobbly.

Turn off power at the mains. Check that the switch is securely attached to the back box. Ensure the back box itself is firmly fixed to the wall.

Finish appears dull or discolored.

Ensure you are not using abrasive cleaning products. Try cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Light flickers when operated.

This could indicate a loose connection or an issue with the bulb. Check wiring security. If the problem persists, consult an electrician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This switch is designed for standard UK electrical installations. Due to the nature of electrical work, professional installation by a qualified electrician is highly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.

Compatibility:

  • 2-Way Switching: This switch is a 2-way switch, meaning it can be used in conjunction with another 2-way switch to control a single light fixture from two locations. It can also be used as a single-pole switch (one switch controlling one light) if wired accordingly, although this is less common.
  • Circuit Rating: Suitable for standard 10A lighting circuits.
  • Back Box: Requires a standard UK back box depth suitable for screwless switches (typically 35mm or deeper).

Care:

To maintain the finish:

  1. Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
  2. Clean Gently: For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
  3. Dry Thoroughly: Always dry the switch immediately after cleaning with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
