FAQs
Can I use this switch for standard light bulbs?
No, this is a momentary retractive switch. The light will only stay on while you hold the button down.
Does this switch require a neutral wire?
Typically, this switch breaks the live wire; check your specific circuit requirements or consult a qualified electrician.
What is the maximum current rating?
This switch is rated for up to 6A.
Is the faceplate removable for painting?
The screwless faceplate is designed to be clipped on and off, but we recommend avoiding painting it to preserve the original Iridium Black finish.
Will this fit a standard 25mm back box?
Yes, with a depth of 23mm, it will comfortably fit into standard 25mm deep wall boxes.
Troubleshooting
Switch does not trigger the connected device
Verify that the wiring is securely fastened to the terminals and ensure the load does not exceed the 6A limit.
Button feels stuck or unresponsive
Check the mounting box alignment; if the unit is screwed in too tightly to an uneven wall, the faceplate may be deformed. Slightly loosen the fixing screws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this switch, ensure your electrical system is powered off at the consumer unit before beginning. This unit requires a standard UK electrical wall box with a minimum depth of 23mm. Connect the live wire to the appropriate terminal; since this is a 1-way momentary switch, it is designed for simple signal loops.
For care, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the Iridium Black faceplate, as these may scratch the finish. A soft, dry microfiber cloth is usually sufficient to remove fingerprints or dust and maintain the clean, screwless appearance of the product.
