FAQs
What is a 2-way switch?
A 2-way switch allows you to control a single light or lighting circuit from two different locations. This is commonly used for stairs, long hallways, or rooms with multiple entrances.
What does 10AX rating mean?
The 10AX rating indicates the maximum current the switch can safely handle, making it suitable for a wide range of lighting loads, including high-power fluorescent lights and modern LED lamps.
Is this switch suitable for LED lights?
Yes, the 10AX rating makes this switch fully compatible with LED lighting.
What is the main advantage of the screwless design?
The screwless design provides a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding the switch fixing screws. It also simplifies installation and cleaning.
What is the purpose of the gasket?
The fitted gasket acts as a barrier against moisture transfer from the wall to the metal plate, preventing tarnishing and corrosion of the finish.
What type of backbox do I need?
You will need a standard UK single-gang backbox with a minimum depth of 16mm.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Switch not working
Verify power is restored to the circuit. Check all wire connections are secure in the backbox and on the switch terminals. Ensure correct 2-way wiring configuration is used.
Light flickers or is dim
Confirm the lamp type is compatible with the 10AX rating. Check for loose connections. The lamp itself may be faulty.
Plate does not sit flush
Ensure the backbox is installed correctly and is at least 16mm deep. Check for obstructions behind the plate or in the backbox.
