Product Information

Full details

Part of the Georgian range, this switch offers a robust 20A capacity for demanding circuits while featuring a sophisticated gold finish with a roped edge.

FAQs

Is this switch suitable for bathroom installation?

No, this switch is not rated for wet rooms or bathrooms. It is designed for standard indoor living areas.

Can I use this for standard lighting?

Yes, it can be used for lighting, but it is specifically designed to handle higher loads, making it better suited for appliances or high-demand circuits.

Does it require a neutral wire?

As a double pole switch, it is designed to switch both the live and neutral conductors, requiring a neutral wire connection.

What is the size of the faceplate?

The faceplate measures 95mm x 95mm.

What does the 10-year guarantee cover?

The guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects in the mechanism and faceplate finish under normal usage conditions.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or does not click properly

Check that the mounting screws are tightened correctly to the wall box and that no wires are trapped behind the switch module.

Power does not flow to the appliance

Verify all wire connections are secure in the terminals and ensure the circuit breaker at the consumer unit has not tripped.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-amperage capacity (20A) for versatile application
  • Sophisticated gold finish with traditional roped detailing
  • Easy to install in standard wall boxes
  • Long 10-year manufacturer guarantee

Cons

  • Classic design may clash with ultra-modern decor
  • Requires professional electrical knowledge for safe installation
  • Gold finish may show fingerprints more easily than matte alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Requirements:

  1. Always isolate the mains power supply at the consumer unit before beginning any electrical work.
  2. Ensure the existing wall box is of the correct depth to accommodate the switch mechanism.
  3. Connect the wiring according to the standard double pole configuration (Live, Neutral, and Earth).
  4. Secure the faceplate to the wall box using the provided screws, ensuring the roped edge is flush against the wall surface.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the faceplate with a soft, dry lint-free cloth to maintain the gold luster.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the decorative roped edge and gold finish.
  • If the switch feels stiff, consult a professional electrician; do not apply lubricants to the interior mechanism.
