FAQs
What does '2 Way Switch' mean?
A 2-way switch system allows a single light (or group of lights) to be controlled by two different switches, typically located at opposite ends of a hallway or staircase.
Can I use this switch to replace a single (1-way) switch?
Yes, you can use a 2-way switch in a single-switch application. You will wire it using only the common terminal and one of the two-way terminals, effectively making it function as a 1-way switch.
What is the warranty period for this switch?
This LIEBER switch comes with a 15-year warranty.
What is the maximum load this switch can handle?
This switch is rated for a maximum load of 10 Amperes (10A).
What material is the switch made from?
The switch is made from robust plastic with a smooth satin white finish.
How should I clean the switch?
Clean the switch using a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?
No, this switch is designed for indoor use in dry locations only.
Troubleshooting
Switch not controlling the light.
Verify that power is connected and the wiring configuration is correct for a 2-way switch. Ensure the light bulb is functional and the circuit breaker is on.
Light flickers when the switch is operated.
Check all wire connections for tightness. Ensure the bulb is screwed in properly. If the issue persists, there may be an issue with the light fixture or wiring.
Switch feels loose or stiff.
Ensure the switch is securely mounted to the back box. If stiffness persists, the internal mechanism may be faulty.
