Product Information

Full details

The Soho Lighting Eton Collection Bronze 4 Gang Intermediate Toggle Switch is designed for users needing to control four separate lighting circuits from three or more locations. Its key benefit is offering complex lighting control solutions for large spaces or multi-point access requirements with a sophisticated, screwless aesthetic. A potential caveat is its need for a deep double-gang UK back box due to the multiple wiring connections. This switch features a hand-finished bronze effect, a robust 20A rating suitable for various lighting types including LEDs, and a screwless design for a clean, modern look.

FAQs

What is an intermediate toggle switch used for?

An intermediate switch, also known as a 4-way switch, is used when you need to control a light or lighting circuit from three or more different locations. It works in conjunction with standard 2-way switches.

Does this switch come with a back box?

No, this switch requires a separate double-gang UK back box, which must be of sufficient depth to house all the wiring connections safely.

How do I clean the bronze finish?

Clean the bronze finish gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.

Can I use this switch with LED lights?

Yes, the 20A rating makes this switch fully compatible with modern LED lighting loads, as well as other types of lighting like incandescent and halogen.

Are the bronze plates all identical?

No, the bronze plates are hand-finished, meaning each one has unique, subtle variations in texture and colour tone, adding to its character.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The dimensions of the plate are approximately 146mm x 86mm, which is standard for a double-gang UK faceplate.

Where can I find technical drawings or matching products?

For technical drawings, wiring layouts, or to find matching bronze sockets and switches from the Eton Collection, you can contact Soho Lighting at sales@hollowaysofludlow.com.

Troubleshooting

Switch not controlling light circuits

Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the intermediate switch wiring diagram. Ensure the switch is correctly paired with other 2-way switches in the circuit.

Toggles feel stiff or sticky

Ensure the front plate is not overtightened or misaligned, which can cause internal friction. Check for any debris within the switch mechanism. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.

Sparking or unusual noise during operation

Immediately switch off the power at the consumer unit and do not use the switch. This indicates a serious wiring fault or a faulty unit. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection and repair.

Front plate does not sit flush

Ensure the internal chassis is correctly mounted to the back box and that all wires are neatly tucked away, not impeding the plate. Check that the correct depth back box is used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Back Box: Ensure a double-gang UK back box with sufficient depth is installed to accommodate the multiple wiring terminals. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
  2. Wiring: Connect the wires according to standard intermediate switch wiring principles. Due to the four gangs and intermediate function, careful attention to terminal connections is crucial.
  3. Plate Fitting: Once wiring is complete, align the front plate over the internal chassis and gently push until it clips securely into place, concealing the screws.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard UK wiring systems.
  • Works with 2-way switching to create 3-way or 4-way switching setups.
  • Suitable for all types of domestic and commercial lighting loads, including incandescent, halogen, and LED.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the hand-finished bronze coating.
  • Periodically check connections to ensure they remain secure.
