Full details
The Varilight Classic 2-gang rocker switch is designed for homeowners and electricians seeking a reliable, traditional lighting control solution that integrates seamlessly into standard interior aesthetics.

While it offers excellent compatibility with both mains and low voltage lighting, it is essential to ensure your electrical box depth is sufficient for a 10 amp installation before proceeding with setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Before starting, ensure the power is isolated at the consumer unit.
- Ensure your existing back box is at least 25mm deep to accommodate the mechanism.

For maintenance, use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the white finish or the plastic rocker mechanism.
