FAQs

What type of lighting is this switch suitable for?

This switch is suitable for a wide range of lighting, including incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, and LED loads. It does not require derating when used with inductive or fluorescent loads.

Can I use this switch with any back box?

It is compatible with MK Logic Plus 1-gang style surface boxes or standard steel back boxes. Ensure the back box is of adequate depth for the wiring.

What does '2-Way' switching mean?

2-Way switching means the light or lighting circuit can be controlled from two separate locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs).

How do I clean the switch?

Disconnect power and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding moisture ingress into the electrical components.

What is the warranty period for this switch?

This MK Electric switch comes with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Is this switch dimmable?

This is a standard on/off switch and is not a dimmer. For dimming functionality, a separate dimmer switch would be required.

Troubleshooting

Switch not turning light on/off

Verify that the power supply is on and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure wiring connections are secure and correct for a 2-way circuit. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Rocker feels stiff or loose

Check for any obstructions around the rocker. If the switch is loose, ensure it is securely fastened to the back box. If the issue persists, the switch may need replacement.

Sparking when operated

This can indicate a faulty connection or a worn switch mechanism. Immediately turn off the power to the circuit and have the switch inspected or replaced by a qualified electrician.
