Varilight Single 20A Double Pole Switch With Neon - White

Double pole switching disconnects both the live and neutral conductors simultaneously, providing a higher level of safety compared to single pole switches, especially for appliances and circuits requiring complete isolation.

Yes, this switch can be used for most standard lighting circuits. The neon indicator is particularly useful for indicating that a light is switched on, even if the bulb is low wattage or not visible.

This switch requires a minimum back box depth of 25mm.

Always switch off the power at the mains before cleaning. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as they can damage the plastic finish.

The neon indicator is integrated into the switch mechanism and is not designed to be user-replaceable. If the neon fails, the entire switch unit may need to be replaced.

'XO' typically denotes the Varilight Value range, '20A' indicates the amperage rating, 'N' signifies the neon indicator, 'W' represents the white color, and 'P' likely refers to the plate style or finish (e.g., standard raised profile).

Ensure the switch is in the 'ON' position and verify that the wiring to the switch is correct, particularly the connection for the neon indicator (typically wired across the switched live and neutral).

Check for any obstructions around the switch mechanism or within the wall box. Ensure the switch is not overtightened against the wall or faceplate. Verify correct back box depth is used.

Confirm power is isolated, then re-check all connections, especially the Live and Neutral terminals. Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse at the consumer unit is functioning correctly. Test the switch mechanism itself.
