FAQs

What is the 10AX rating?

The 10AX rating indicates the maximum electrical load the switch can handle. It means the switch can handle up to 10 amps of current.

What does '2-way' mean?

A 2-way switch allows you to control a light from two different locations. In this case, it is a single switch but the wiring is different to a single pole switch.

Can I use this switch with LED lights?

Yes, this switch is compatible with most LED lights, as long as the total load does not exceed the 10AX rating.

What if I am unsure about the wiring?

If you are unsure about the wiring, consult a qualified electrician. Incorrect wiring can be dangerous.

How do I replace the pull cord?

Unscrew the switch cover, detach the old cord, and tie or secure the new cord to the switch mechanism. Ensure the knot is secure.

What is the length of the pull cord?

The switch comes with approximately 1.5 meters of pull cord.

What is the finish of the switch?

The switch has an Antique Brass finish.

Troubleshooting

The light does not turn on when the cord is pulled.

Check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly installed. Verify that the bulb is not burnt out and that the circuit breaker is not tripped.

The switch feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the switch is properly secured to the mounting box. Tighten the screws if needed.

The pull cord is frayed or damaged.

Replace the pull cord with a suitable replacement to maintain safe operation.

The switch sparks or makes a buzzing noise.

Immediately turn off the power at the circuit breaker and consult a qualified electrician. This may indicate a wiring problem or a faulty switch.
