FAQs
Can I install this switch myself?
While the installation process is straightforward, electrical work should always be carried out by a competent person. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Does this switch come with a warranty?
Yes, this product includes a 10-year guarantee for your peace of mind.
What size back box do I need?
This switch is compatible with any standard UK wall back box with a depth between 25mm and 35mm.
Is the finish prone to rusting?
No, the Black Nickel finish is a durable plating designed for indoor use. However, you should keep it dry and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the surface integrity.
Are the fixing screws included?
Yes, the product is supplied with colour-coded fixing screws that match the black nickel finish for a seamless look.
Troubleshooting
Switch feels loose or won't click into position
Check that the fixing screws are not overtightened, which can warp the mounting plate, and ensure the back box is level.
Plate appears to be vibrating or making noise
Verify that all internal terminal connections are fully tightened, as loose wiring connections can cause electrical hum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the mains power is isolated at the consumer unit. The switch is designed for a standard 25mm to 35mm deep back box. Use the provided plastic gasket between the metal plate and the wall to ensure proper earthing and to prevent moisture or debris from entering the wall cavity. When cleaning, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners which can scratch or dull the nickel finish; instead, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently buff away smudges. For heavier stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soapy water is sufficient, provided the surface is dried immediately afterward.
