FAQs

Can I use this with LED bulbs?

This switch is designed for standard and low-voltage lighting. Always check that your specific LED bulbs are marked as 'dimmable' before use.

What is the maximum wattage per gang?

Each gang supports a maximum load of 400W.

Does this switch come with a back box?

No, the back box is not included. You must ensure you have a 35mm deep back box installed in your wall.

Can this be used for a 1-way circuit?

Yes, this switch is compatible with both 1-way and 2-way circuit configurations.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to dust the surface. Avoid liquid cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Lights flicker or buzz when dimmed.

Check that the bulbs installed are specifically labeled as dimmable. Non-dimmable bulbs are not compatible with rotary dimmers.

Switch does not fit into the wall box.

Verify your back box depth is at least 35mm. If it is shallower, you may need to install an extension box or replace the back box.

The light does not turn off completely.

Ensure the total wattage of the lighting circuit is within the 400W limit and that the switch is correctly wired for the 2-way circuit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated silver finish complements modern decor
  • Dual-gang design saves wall space
  • Versatile 2-way circuit compatibility
  • Easy-to-use rotary dimming mechanism
  • Sturdy 400W per gang capacity

Cons

  • Requires a deeper 35mm back box
  • Not intended for non-dimmable light bulbs
  • Silver finish may show fingerprints more than matte white

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic electrical knowledge; always ensure the main power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. This unit requires a 35mm deep back box. Ensure your lighting fixtures are compatible with dimmer switches—specifically, incandescent or compatible dimmable low-voltage lamps. Do not exceed the 400W limit per gang. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the silver finish and damage the plate surface.
