Designed for versatility, this switch supports both 1-way and 2-way configurations, making it a flexible choice for hallways or bedrooms where multi-location control is required.

FAQs

Can I use this for a 2-way lighting circuit?

Yes, this switch is designed to support both 1-way and 2-way switching applications.

Does this switch include a backbox?

No, the switch is designed to fit into standard existing wall backboxes with a minimum depth of 25mm.

What is the maximum amperage capacity?

The switch is rated for 10A, which is standard for most domestic lighting circuits.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

How do I clean the brushed silver finish?

What type of terminals does it use?

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on after installation

Check that all wires are fully inserted into the push-fit terminals and that the circuit breaker is correctly positioned in the 'on' state.

Switch feels loose in the wall

Ensure the mounting screws are tightened correctly to the backbox; if the backbox is recessed too deeply, use screw extenders or spacers.

Flickering lights

Verify that all connections are tight. If flickering persists, check that the total wattage of the lighting circuit does not exceed the switch's 10A capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the brushed silver finish, clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the metallic finish and lead to discoloration.
