Product Information

Full details

This Varilight Classic double light switch is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a blend of traditional aesthetics and modern functionality. Its key benefit is providing versatile control for two lighting circuits with a sophisticated brushed steel finish and contrasting black rockers. A potential caveat is that it is a fixed-function switch, meaning its wiring capabilities (1x 2-Way, 1x Intermediate) are specific and may not suit all complex lighting setups. This guide will help you understand its features, installation, and maintenance.

FAQs

What is the difference between a 2-Way switch and an Intermediate switch?

A 2-Way switch allows a light to be controlled from two locations. An Intermediate switch is used in conjunction with two 2-Way switches to control a light from three or more locations.

Can I use this switch with LED bulbs?

This is a standard switch, not a dimmer. It can control LED bulbs, but it does not offer dimming functionality. For dimming LEDs, a compatible Varilight LED dimmer switch is required.

What does 'Classic' mean in the product name?

'Classic' refers to the design range, which features a traditional raised bevel-edge profile and is designed to complement various interior styles.

Is this switch dimmable?

No, this is a standard double light switch with 1x 2-Way and 1x Intermediate functionality. It is not a dimmer.

What is the warranty period?

Varilight offers a Lifetime Guarantee on their Classic range products.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

Standard UK double light switch dimensions apply. Please refer to product specifications if precise measurements are needed.

How do I clean the brushed steel finish?

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

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on/off

Check that the power is switched on at the mains. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct for the 2-Way or Intermediate function. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Switch feels loose

Ensure the switch is securely fastened to the backbox. Check that the mounting screws are tightened appropriately, but do not overtighten.

Intermittent flickering of lights

This may indicate a loose connection. Switch off power at the mains and re-check all wiring. Ensure the bulb type is compatible if using LED or low-energy bulbs; consider a Varilight LED dimmer if dimming is required.
