FAQs

What does 'Double Pole' mean for a light switch?

A double pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires simultaneously, offering a higher level of safety compared to single pole switches which only disconnect the live wire.

Can I replace my existing single pole switch with this double pole switch?

Yes, provided your existing wiring system is configured to support a double pole switch (i.e., you have a neutral wire available at the switch location and it is intended for a double pole application).

How do I clean the screwless faceplate?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, as they can damage the finish.

Is the front plate removable for painting?

Yes, the front plate is designed to be easily removable, allowing for efficient decorating without disturbing the wiring connections.

What is the 20AX rating?

The 20AX rating indicates that the switch is capable of handling lighting loads up to 20 Amperes (A) under AC inductive load conditions.

What type of mounting box is required?

Due to its minimal back projection, this switch is designed to be compatible with standard UK/European single gang mounting boxes.

Troubleshooting

Switch not turning light on/off

Verify that the power supply is on and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Check wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly placed on the terminals.

Switch feels loose or plate is not secure

Ensure the front plate is correctly aligned and pressed firmly until it clicks into place. Check that the mounting box behind the switch is secure.

Flickering light when switch is on

This could indicate a loose connection or an issue with the bulb. Double-check all wiring connections to the switch and ensure the bulb is properly seated and compatible.
