Product Information

Full details

This 4-gang quad retro toggle light switch in Matt Black is ideal for homeowners looking to update their interior lighting controls with a stylish and functional solution. Its primary benefit is the ability to control up to four separate lighting circuits from a single, aesthetically pleasing unit. A potential consideration is that it requires a standard UK double backbox for installation, so ensure compatibility with existing wiring setups.

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Ensure the power is restored at the mains. Check all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the diagram. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

One or more toggles do not operate a light

Verify the wiring for that specific gang is correctly connected to the light circuit. Check the light bulb and the circuit breaker for that lighting line. If problems continue, an electrician should inspect the wiring.
