FAQs

Can I use this switch for dimming lights?

No, this is a standard on/off rocker switch and is not designed for dimming. Please use a compatible dimmer switch for dimmable lights.

What does '2-way switching' mean?

2-way switching allows a light or set of lights to be controlled from two separate locations. For example, you can turn a light on at the bottom of stairs and off at the top.

Can I use this as a single-pole (1-way) switch?

Yes, this switch can be wired as a standard 1-way switch if only one control point is needed.

What is the amp rating of this switch?

The switch has a rating of 10 Amps, which is suitable for most standard domestic lighting circuits.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can scratch or damage the finish.

Do I need a special back box for installation?

This switch requires a standard UK-style back box for wall mounting. Ensure it is deep enough to accommodate the wiring.

Troubleshooting

Switch not turning light on/off

Ensure the circuit breaker is on. Verify wiring connections are secure and correct for a 2-way or 1-way configuration. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Light flickers or dims

Check if the bulb is compatible and securely fitted. Ensure the total load does not exceed the 10 Amp rating of the switch. Loose wiring can also cause this; have connections checked by an electrician.

Switch feels loose or stiff

Check that the faceplate is securely mounted to the wall box. If the rocker mechanism feels stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing it. Do not force the rocker.
