This Lieber Brushed Copper 45A Double Pole Switch with Neon is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional solution for controlling high-amperage appliances like ovens and showers. Its key benefit is offering a robust 45A rating combined with a popular brushed copper aesthetic that enhances modern interiors. A potential caveat is its specialized 45A rating, meaning it's not suitable for standard lighting circuits. Key features include a large plate design, an integrated neon indicator, a durable brushed copper finish that minimizes fingerprints, and double pole switching for enhanced safety by isolating both live and neutral wires.

This switch is suitable for high-amperage domestic appliances such as electric ovens, power showers, immersion heaters, and other circuits that draw up to 45 Amps. It is not suitable for standard lighting or general-purpose outlets.
Generally, it fits standard UK back boxes. However, ensure the back box is deep enough to accommodate the wiring for a 45A switch and its connections. Your electrician will confirm compatibility during installation.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishes, or solvents that can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after cleaning.
Double pole switching means the switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires of the circuit simultaneously. This provides a safer and more complete isolation of the appliance compared to single pole switching.
The neon light is typically wired to indicate when the circuit is live and the switch is in the 'ON' position. It will illuminate when the connected appliance is receiving power.
No, for safety and regulatory reasons, this switch must be installed by a qualified electrician. Working with high-amperage circuits carries significant risks if not done correctly.
The dimensions of the large plate are approximately 146mm (width) x 86mm (height) x 3.1mm (depth).
Ensure the power supply to the circuit is switched on at the consumer unit. Verify that the switch is correctly wired by a qualified electrician. Check that the appliance connected is functioning correctly.
Confirm the switch is in the 'ON' position and that power is supplied to the circuit. The neon bulb may have failed; consult an electrician for replacement if necessary. Ensure the switch is correctly wired for the neon function.
Contact a qualified electrician to check the mounting screws and ensure the switch is securely fixed to the back box. Do not attempt to overtighten screws, as this can damage the plate.
Immediately turn off the power at the consumer unit and contact a qualified electrician. Overheating indicates a potential overload or faulty wiring, which is a serious safety hazard.
Setup:
This switch is designed for mains electrical installations and must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety regulations and proper functionality. The 45A rating dictates its use for specific high-load appliances. Ensure the power supply is completely isolated before attempting any installation or wiring.
