FAQs

What does '2-way' switching mean?

2-way switching allows a light or set of lights to be controlled from two different locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase or at either end of a hallway.

What is the maximum load this switch can handle?

This switch has a current rating of 10A, which is suitable for most standard domestic lighting circuits.

What size backbox do I need?

A minimum backbox depth of 25mm is required for installation.

Can I use this switch for LED lights?

Yes, this switch is compatible with LED lighting, provided the total load does not exceed the 10A rating. However, some low-power LEDs may require specific types of switches or load balancers for optimal performance.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Wipe the chrome finish with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What standard does this switch comply with?

This switch complies with the BS EN 60669-1 standard for switches.

Troubleshooting

Switch not working

Verify that power has been restored to the circuit. Double-check all wiring connections against the diagram and ensure they are secure. Confirm the correct terminals have been used for 2-way switching.

Lights flicker or dim

Check for loose wire connections, particularly in the terminals. Ensure the load on the circuit does not exceed the switch's 10A rating.

Switch is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the switch is correctly seated within the backbox and not being pinched by the faceplate. Inspect for any obstructions around the mechanism.
