FAQs
Can I install this switch myself?
It is highly recommended that a qualified electrician installs this switch to ensure compliance with local safety standards.
Does this switch work with smart bulbs?
This is a standard mechanical rocker switch; it functions as an on/off switch for the circuit and does not contain built-in smart functionality.
Is the chrome trim removable?
No, the chrome trim is an integrated part of the design and should not be removed.
What is the required back box depth?
We recommend a minimum back box depth of 25mm to 35mm to ensure sufficient clearance for the wiring terminals.
Will this switch work on a 1-way lighting circuit?
Yes, it is fully compatible with both 1-way and 2-way lighting configurations.
Troubleshooting
The switch feels loose or protrudes from the wall
Ensure the wall back box is deep enough and that wires are tucked neatly behind the module without being crushed.
Lights do not turn on when toggled
Verify that all wires are securely connected to the correct terminals. Double-check your 2-way wiring configuration against the included installation diagram.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.
- Wiring: Ensure power is isolated at the mains before beginning any work. The unit supports standard 1-way and 2-way circuitry.
- Back Box: Check your wall back box depth; the Crystal series often requires a deeper box than entry-level switches. If your box is too shallow, consider using a spacer.
- Cleaning: To maintain the finish, use a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the gloss surface or the chrome trim.
