FAQs

What does '6 Gang 2 Way' mean?

'6 Gang' means the plate has six individual switches. '2 Way' means each switch can control a light from two different locations, or you can have multiple switches controlling one light.

Can I use this switch for dimming lights?

This specific model is a standard 2-way switch and is not designed for dimming. You would require a dedicated dimmer switch for that function.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?

No, this switch is designed for indoor use only. It features a moisture-resistant gasket for internal use but is not rated for external weather exposure.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the finish. Always dry the switch after cleaning.

What is the size of the switch plate?

The dimensions of the switch plate are 86mm x 146mm x 4.5mm.

Can I replace an existing single-gang switch with this 6-gang plate?

You can replace an existing switch plate with this one if the wall opening is compatible and the electrical wiring supports the number of switches. However, a qualified electrician must assess your existing wiring to ensure it can accommodate 6 switches and proper 2-way functionality.

What kind of maintenance does this switch require?

Minimal maintenance is required. Regular gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is sufficient to keep the brushed brass finish looking its best. Ensure no excessive moisture comes into contact with the switch.

Troubleshooting

Switch not turning light on/off

Ensure the wiring is correctly connected by a qualified electrician. Verify that the circuit breaker is on and the bulb is functional. If using 2-way switching, check both switches are wired correctly.

Lights flicker when switch is off

This may indicate an issue with the wiring or a faulty bulb. Consult a qualified electrician to inspect the connections and the bulb.

Screwless plate is not sitting flush

Check that the underlying backbox is securely mounted and level. Ensure no wires are obstructing the plate. Re-align the plate carefully and re-apply gentle pressure.

Finish appears tarnished or discolored

Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If the discoloration persists, it may be a result of environmental factors or chemical contact.

Pros and Cons

  • Elegant and timeless aesthetic suitable for period or statement properties.
  • Screwless design provides a clean, modern, and premium look.
  • Fingerprint and blemish resistant finish maintains a neat appearance.
  • Versatile 2-way switching functionality for lighting control convenience.
  • Blends well with natural materials like brick and stone, and brass hardware.
  • Durable construction with corrosion and moisture resistance.

Cons

  • The warm brass tone might clash with ultra-modern or minimalist decor.
  • Requires understanding of 2-way switching for optimal installation.
  • As a statement piece, it may be more expensive than basic switches.
  • Screwless design might require specific installation techniques or considerations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This switch is designed for standard mains voltage electrical installations. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. The screwless design requires careful alignment during mounting.

Compatibility: This is a 2-way switch, meaning it can be used to control a light from two different locations. It is compatible with standard UK backboxes and requires a minimum mounting depth. Ensure your existing wiring configuration supports 2-way switching if you intend to use both switches for a single light. It is designed to control lighting circuits.

Care: To maintain the appearance of the brushed brass finish, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth and thorough drying.
