FAQs

What does '1 Intermediate' mean in the context of switches?

An intermediate switch allows you to control a light from three or more locations. For example, you can control a light from the top of stairs, the bottom of stairs, and the landing using one intermediate switch combined with two 2-way switches.

Are the switch modules pre-assembled?

No, the switch modules (2 x 2-way, 1 x intermediate) and the grid frame are provided separately, allowing for customizable placement during installation.

What size backbox do I need?

This switch is designed for a standard UK single-gang backbox. A minimum depth is recommended for secure mounting and wiring.

How do I clean the antique brass finish?

Use a soft, dry cloth for routine cleaning. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this switch for dimming lights?

This product is a standard light switch and is not designed for dimming. For dimmable lights, a compatible dimmer switch module would be required and must be purchased separately.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The dimensions of the switch plate are Height 86mm x Width 146mm.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on/off

Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct for 2-way or intermediate switching. Verify the light bulb is functional and the circuit breaker is on.

Switch feels loose after installation

Check that the grid frame is securely mounted to the backbox and that the faceplate is correctly clipped into place. Ensure switch modules are properly seated on the grid.

Switch operation is erratic

Confirm correct wiring for the intermediate switch function. If controlling from only two locations, ensure it's wired as a standard 2-way switch. Consult an electrician if unsure.
