FAQs

Does this switch require a deep backbox?

No, it is designed to fit standard UK 86mm x 86mm backboxes, but ensure your existing box provides enough depth for the wiring.

Can I use this for dimmer control?

No, this is a standard on/off switch and does not possess dimming capabilities.

Is the bronze finish prone to tarnishing?

The finish is high-quality, but regular maintenance with a dry cloth will keep it looking its best.

Can I install this myself?

We recommend professional installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and code compliance.

What is the amperage rating?

The switch is rated for 10A, which is standard for most residential lighting applications.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or does not click

Ensure the switch is securely fastened to the backbox and that no wiring is obstructed behind the faceplate.

Light flickering after installation

Check that all terminal connections are tight and that no stray wire strands are touching the backbox or other terminals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations. Before beginning, always turn off the mains power at the consumer unit.

  1. Ensure you have a standard UK 86mm x 86mm backbox installed in the wall.
  2. Disconnect existing wires from the current switch.
  3. Connect the wiring to the terminal ports on the rear of the Loops switch according to the provided wiring diagram.
  4. Secure the switch plate to the backbox using the included screws.
  5. Restore power and test the toggle action.

For cleaning, use only a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical polishes, as these may damage the bronze finish over time.
