FAQs

What material are the Brass Bee B Series fittings made from?

The Brass Bee B Series switches and sockets are crafted from high-quality stainless steel.

Is the satin brass finish prone to fingerprints?

The satin finish is generally more resistant to showing fingerprints than a polished finish, but like most metal surfaces, it can still show marks. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is advised.

Can I install these myself?

For safety and regulatory reasons, it is strongly recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Are these switches suitable for LED bulbs?

Dimmer switches should be checked for LED compatibility. Most modern dimmers are designed to work with dimmable LEDs, but it's best to confirm the specific bulb requirements.

What is the difference between this and traditional brass?

This range features a satin brass finish, which is a more subdued, matte look compared to the high-shine of traditional polished brass. It offers a more contemporary aesthetic.

How do I clean the satin brass finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always dry the fitting thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth afterward. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Switch not responding or flickering

Ensure the connection to the switch is secure. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician to check wiring and potential faults.

Dimmer switch not dimming smoothly

Verify that the dimmer switch is compatible with the type of bulbs being used (e.g., LED compatibility). Check wiring connections. If problems continue, professional inspection is recommended.

Finish appears dull or tarnished

Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of Brass Bee switches and sockets should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical regulations. These fittings are designed to replace standard electrical outlets and switches, typically requiring a standard back box.

Compatibility:

These fittings are compatible with standard UK/European electrical systems. Ensure the voltage and amperage ratings meet your specific electrical load requirements. They are designed to fit into standard wall cutouts and back boxes.

Care:

To maintain the satin brass finish, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Regular dusting with a dry microfiber cloth is recommended.
