This 3-pack of 1-gang single metal light switches in Black Nickel finish is designed for homeowners looking to upgrade their interior with stylish and durable hardware. The key benefit is the aesthetically pleasing, robust design that complements modern interiors, offering smooth mechanical operation. A minor caveat is that these are single-pole switches, limiting their use in certain multi-way switching scenarios without additional components. Each switch is 2-way compatible, rated for 10A, and features high-quality stainless steel wall plates with a sleek black trim, measuring 86mm x 86mm x 7mm.

2-way switching means you can control a single light or light circuit from two different locations using two separate switches. This is common for lights at the top and bottom of stairs or at either end of a hallway.
Yes, provided the total wattage of the LED bulbs does not exceed the 10A rating of the switch. Most LED loads are well within this limit.
No, these are standard on/off switches and do not have dimming capabilities. You would need a dedicated dimmer switch for that function.
Each switch plate measures 86mm in width, 86mm in height, and projects 7mm from the wall surface.
Use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a soft cloth.
No, this product includes three switch units and faceplates. The electrical wall box is not included and must be provided separately.
These are 2-way switches, meaning they are designed to work in pairs. For 3-way or 4-way switching, you would need specialized intermediate or master switches in addition to these, depending on the specific configuration.
Verify that the power is switched back on at the breaker. Double-check all wire connections to the terminals, ensuring they are secure and correctly placed for 2-way switching. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
This could indicate a loose connection. Turn off the power and re-check all wiring. Ensure the bulb in the fixture is compatible and securely fitted.
Ensure the switch plate is not overtightened against the wall, which can cause misalignment. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. If the problem persists, the switch may be faulty.
Setup: Installation requires basic electrical wiring knowledge. Ensure power is turned OFF at the main breaker before beginning. Follow standard wiring procedures for a 2-way single-pole switch. Connect the wires according to the terminal markings on the switch.
Compatibility: These switches are designed for standard UK/EU electrical boxes and wiring systems. They are rated for 10A, suitable for most common lighting circuits. Ensure your existing wiring is compatible with 2-way switching.
Care: Clean the switch plates regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the Black Nickel finish. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent diluted in water can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dried with a soft, dry cloth.
