Full details
The Varilight XDB2S is a premium 2-gang, 2-way light switch designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a sleek, modern aesthetic with a sophisticated gold finish. It is ideal for controlling two independent lighting circuits and provides the convenience of operating lights from two separate locations, though it requires careful installation to ensure the screwless faceplate sits flush against the wall.

FAQs
Does this switch come with screws?
The XDB2S is a screwless design, meaning the visible faceplate does not use screws. It includes the necessary internal mounting frame and components for installation.
Can I use this for dimming lights?
No, this is a standard on/off light switch, not a dimmer switch.
Is this switch suitable for bathroom use?
This switch is not rated for wet rooms or high-humidity environments. Please check local electrical regulations regarding switch placement near water sources.
How do I remove the faceplate for cleaning or replacement?
The screwless plate is designed to be pried off gently using a small flat-head screwdriver in the notch provided on the underside of the switch.
Does the gold finish tarnish?
With proper indoor care, the finish is durable and resistant to tarnish; avoid cleaning with abrasive agents to maintain its shine.
Troubleshooting
Switch feels loose on the wall
Check that the mounting frame is securely tightened to the backbox and that the screwless faceplate is clicked firmly into all corners.
Lights flicker or do not turn on
Verify that all wires are securely seated in the correct terminals and that the power supply is properly connected at the circuit breaker.
The switch does not operate 2-way correctly
Double-check the wiring of the common and traveler terminals; ensure your second switch is also wired correctly for 2-way operation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sleek screwless design for a modern finish

- 2-way functionality provides flexible control
- Durable build quality for consistent performance
- Easy to integrate into standard electrical setups
Cons
- Requires a clean, flat wall surface for the best aesthetic result

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the XDB2S should always be performed by a qualified electrician or someone with competent electrical knowledge, ensuring the mains power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning.
- Ensure the backbox is at an appropriate depth.
- Wire the switch according to the provided wiring diagram, noting the 2-way terminal configuration.
- Carefully snap the screwless front plate onto the mounting frame until it clicks securely.
For care and maintenance, wipe the switch periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the delicate gold finish and diminish its reflective quality.
