Full details

FAQs

Does this spur come with a fuse included?

Can I install this in a standard shallow wall box?

No, this unit requires a minimum wall box depth of 25mm.

What is the warranty period?

The product is covered by a 10-year guarantee.

What does double pole switching mean?

It means the switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires, providing a safer isolation of the appliance.

Are there other colors available in this range?

Yes, the Lily collection includes options in Black, Green, Pink, and White.

Is the fuse replaceable?

Yes, the fuse can be easily accessed and replaced from the front of the unit.

Troubleshooting

Neon indicator light does not glow when switched on

First check if the appliance is receiving power; if it is, the neon bulb may be faulty, or there may be a loose connection behind the plate.

Fuse keeps blowing immediately after replacement

This indicates a potential short circuit in the connected appliance or the wiring; disconnect the appliance and consult a professional electrician to inspect the circuit.

Switch feels loose or difficult to operate

Ensure the faceplate is screwed tightly to the back box; if the internal mechanism feels damaged, the unit should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Vibrant Pillar Box Red finish offers a unique design statement
  • Double pole switching ensures maximum safety for hardwired appliances
  • Neon indicator provides clear status feedback at a glance
  • 10-year guarantee demonstrates manufacturer confidence
  • Easy to replace fuse accessible from the front

Cons

  • Requires a 25mm deep wall box which may necessitate retrofitting in older homes
  • Bold red color is highly specific and may not match neutral interior palettes
  • Curved edge design may clash with flat or ultra-minimalist switch plates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard 25mm deep recessed wall box. Because this device handles high current (13A), it must be installed by a qualified electrician or someone with competent electrical knowledge to ensure all safety regulations are met. To maintain the finish of the Pillar Box Red plate, use only a soft, dry cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive chemicals or harsh solvents that could discolor or scratch the surface. When replacing the fuse, ensure the switch is in the off position and use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the fuse cover open.
