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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern and sleek screwless design
  • Durable premium grade steel construction
  • Functional 2-way switching for convenience
  • Protective gasket against moisture
  • Easy integration into standard backboxes

Cons

  • Requires a minimum 16mm depth backbox
  • Single gang means control for one lighting circuit only
  • Matt finish may show smudges more readily than gloss finishes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply to the circuit is turned OFF at the main consumer unit.
  2. The SF2000MBB requires a standard mounting box with a minimum depth of 16mm.
  3. Connect the wires according to standard 2-way switching configurations. The terminal capacity supports 1.0mm² or 1.5mm² wires.
  4. Carefully push the switch plate onto the wall box, ensuring it sits flush. The screwless design means the plate snaps on securely.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard UK single-gang backboxes (16mm minimum depth).
  • Suitable for controlling single lighting circuits.
  • 10AX rating is compatible with LED, fluorescent, and traditional incandescent lamps.

Care:

  • Clean the switch plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • The built-in gasket helps protect the finish, but avoid excessive moisture near the plate.
  • Periodically check connections if any performance issues arise (ensure power is off first).
