FAQs

What does '2 Gang 2 Way' mean?

A '2 Gang' switch controls two separate lights or circuits. '2 Way' means each of those circuits can be controlled from two different switch locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs).

Is this switch suitable for LED lights?

Yes, this switch is suitable for mains voltage LED lighting circuits. Ensure your LED lights are dimmable if you wish to use dimming functionality, though this switch itself does not have a dimming feature.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild, non-abrasive soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always dry with a soft cloth.

Can I install this myself?

Electrical installations should always be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.

What is the benefit of a screwless design?

A screwless design provides a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding all visible screws, creating a flush and seamless appearance on the wall.

Does this switch come with other colour inserts?

This specific model is described with black inserts. Please check product details or contact the manufacturer for information on other available insert colours or sibling products.

What is the amperage rating?

This switch is rated at 20A, making it suitable for standard lighting circuits.

Troubleshooting

Switch not controlling lights

Verify that the circuit breaker is on and that all wiring connections are secure and correct, especially if using 2-way functionality. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

Lights flicker or dim unexpectedly

Check the load on the circuit to ensure it does not exceed the 20A rating of the switch. Loose connections can also cause flickering; re-secure connections or have an electrician inspect.

Faceplate feels loose

Gently but firmly press the faceplate around the edges until it clicks into place. Ensure no obstructions are preventing it from seating correctly.

One of the toggle levers is stiff

Ensure no debris has entered the toggle mechanism. If the issue persists, the switch may require replacement by a qualified electrician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This switch is designed for standard UK electrical wiring. Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. The screwless design means the main body of the switch is mounted first, and then the faceplate clips securely over it.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard UK backboxes.
  • Suitable for controlling mains voltage lighting circuits.
  • Ensure the circuit's load does not exceed the switch's 20A rating.
  • The 2-way functionality requires appropriate wiring, connecting both switches on the circuit correctly.

Care:

  • To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the matt finish.
  • Periodically check that the faceplate remains securely clipped on.
  • Ensure the area around the switch is kept free from excessive dust or moisture.
