FAQs

What does '2-way switching' mean?

2-way switching allows a light or lighting circuit to be controlled from two separate switch locations. For example, you can turn a light on at the bottom of stairs and off at the top.

Is this switch suitable for LED lights?

Yes, this switch is compatible with LED lighting circuits, provided they are within the 20A rating of the switch.

What is the warranty period for this product?

BG Electrical offers a 25-year manufacturer's warranty on this product against faulty materials and workmanship.

How do I clean the copper effect finish?

Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the finish.

Can I replace my old single-gang switch with this one?

Yes, if your existing switch is a single-gang unit and the wiring supports 2-way switching, this unit should be compatible with a standard UK single-gang back box.

What is the advantage of a screwless design?

A screwless design provides a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding screw heads. It also reduces potential crevices for dust and dirt accumulation.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on/off.

Ensure the power is restored and check that all wires are securely connected to the correct terminals. Verify that the circuit breaker is not tripped.

Switch feels loose or wobbly.

Check that the screwless front plate is fully clipped onto the base plate. Ensure the base plate is securely fixed to the wall box.

Intermittent light flickering.

Check wire connections for looseness. Ensure the bulb is correctly seated and not nearing the end of its life. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Screwless plate won't clip on.

Ensure there are no obstructions between the front plate and the base plate. Verify that the correct base box is used if it's a new installation.
