The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and failures under normal residential use.

Is this switch suitable for LED lighting?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard residential lighting types, including LEDs, provided they are within the 10A rating.

Does the switch come with the mounting screws?

Can this be installed in a bathroom?

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or does not sit flush with the wall

Ensure the wall back box is clean and free of plaster; check that the fixing screws are tightened evenly.

Light does not turn on/off correctly in a 2-way setup

Verify the wiring configuration against the included installation diagram; ensure wires are securely seated in the L1 and L2 terminals.

Switch 'clicks' but the light flickers

Check all terminal connections for loose wires; if the issue persists, inspect the light bulb and fixture compatibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant aesthetic with a unique brushed spiral finish
  • Fits standard UK back boxes for easy installation
  • High-quality build backed by a 10-year guarantee
  • Includes all necessary hardware for mounting
  • Safety certified to rigorous BS standards

  • Requires knowledge of 2-way wiring if replacing a 1-way switch

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial load requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, first verify that your existing wall back box is between 25mm and 35mm deep. Always turn off the mains power at the consumer unit before beginning any electrical work.

  1. Use the provided colour-coded screws to match the finish of the plate for a clean look.
  2. Utilize the included plastic gasket to ensure the switch is properly insulated and seated against uneven wall surfaces.
  3. Refer to the included fitting instructions to identify the 'Common', 'L1', and 'L2' terminals correctly.

For maintenance, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to clean the switch plate. Avoid abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can scratch or dull the delicate brushed spiral finish.
