FAQs
Can this switch be used for 1-way lighting?
Yes, the AET CPC3GSWIWH switch can be used for 1-way lighting. Simply wire it as a standard single-location switch, ignoring the provisions for 2-way switching.
What is the maximum wattage this switch can handle?
The switch is rated for 10 Amps. For an approximate wattage calculation, multiply the amperage by the voltage (e.g., 10A x 230V = 2300 Watts). Always ensure your lighting load does not exceed this limit.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. For tougher spots, a mild detergent can be used. Always dry the plate thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth afterward to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
Is this switch suitable for LED lights?
Yes, provided the total load of the LED lights does not exceed the switch's 10 Amp rating. LED compatibility often depends on the dimmer function if applicable, but for standard on/off switching, it is generally compatible.
What does '2-Way Switching' mean?
2-Way Switching means a light or lighting circuit can be controlled from two different switch locations. This is common for staircases or long hallways.
What is the warranty period for this AET light switch?
Please refer to the product packaging or the AET official website for the most current warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.

Double-check the wiring between the two switches. Ensure the traveler wires are correctly connected and that the common (COM) terminals are used appropriately on both switches.
Switch feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure the mounting screws holding the switch plate to the wall box are tightened securely.
