FAQs

What does '20A 2 Gang 2 Way' mean?

'20A' indicates the amperage rating, suitable for higher loads. '2 Gang' means there are two switches on the plate. '2 Way' means each switch can control a light from two different locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs).

Is this switch suitable for LED lighting?

This is a standard toggle switch. While it can be used with LED lights, it is not a dimmer. Ensure your LED system is compatible with standard on/off switching. For dimming LEDs, a dedicated dimmer switch is required.

How do I clean the bronze finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the unique hand-finished patina.

Are the colour variations a defect?

No, the subtle variations in texture and colour are a natural characteristic of the hand-finished bronze, enhancing the product's unique charm and authenticity.

What type of back box do I need?

A standard UK back box is required. A minimum depth of 25mm is recommended for screwless fittings to ensure proper clearance and fitting.

Can I mix and match this with other finishes?

While possible, this switch is designed to complement other items within the Soho Lighting Bronze range for a cohesive look. Mixing finishes can create a contrast, depending on your interior design goals.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information for this product. Soho Lighting typically offers a warranty on their fittings, but terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on/off with the switch.

Ensure the circuit breaker is on. Verify all wiring connections are secure. If using 2-way switching, check the wiring at both switch locations. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate.

This may indicate an issue with the internal mechanism or improper installation. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection and potential replacement.

Finish appears inconsistent or has minor marks.

This is normal due to the hand-finished nature of the product. Each piece is unique. If the inconsistency is severe or you believe it's a defect, contact your supplier.

Faceplate is loose.

Ensure the back box is securely mounted to the wall and the faceplate clips are properly engaged. If the issue persists, the back box may need securing or the switch unit re-fitting by an electrician.

  • Screwless faceplate provides a clean, modern aesthetic.
  • Flexible 2-way switching for convenient light control.
  • Unique, hand-finished quality ensures a distinctive look.
  • Durable construction suitable for 20A circuits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a 20A 2-gang 2-way toggle switch designed for standard UK mains wiring. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety regulations and proper function.

Compatibility:

  • Wiring: Compatible with standard 2-way lighting circuits. Ensure your existing wiring configuration supports 2-way switching if you intend to use both switches to control the same light.
  • Back Box: Requires a standard UK back box (minimum depth of 25mm recommended for screwless fittings).
  • Usage: Suitable for controlling lighting circuits. Not intended for use with dimmer functions unless specifically stated for compatible LED loads.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any signs of wear. The screwless design means no faceplate screws to tighten, but ensure the unit remains securely fitted to the wall.
  • Finish Variations: Embrace the unique nature of the hand-finished bronze. Subtle variations are characteristic of this product and not considered defects.
