FAQs
What type of back box is needed for this switch?
A back box with a depth ranging from 16mm to 47mm is required for installation.
Can I use this switch for dimmable lights?
This specific 4-gang switch is rated for general lighting (10AX). For dimmable lights, you would need to replace one or more of the modules with a compatible dimmer module from the Click MiniGrid range.
What does '2 Way' switching mean?
2 Way switching allows a light fitting to be controlled by two separate switches, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase or at opposite ends of a hallway.
Is the satin chrome finish easy to scratch?
The satin finish is generally durable, but like most metal finishes, it can be scratched by abrasive materials. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended.
Can I mix and match switch types on this plate?
Yes, the Click Scolmore Deco range is modular. You can interchange the standard switch modules with other compatible Click MiniGrid modules (e.g., intermediate switches, push-button switches) as needed.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Specific warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your sales receipt or the Click Scolmore website for details.

Ensure the cable size is appropriate for the load and that connections are tight. For inductive loads, confirm the 10AX rating is sufficient.
