The Deta S1346 is a 2 Gang, 2 Way Wide Rocker Light Switch designed for enhanced usability, particularly for the elderly, infirm, or visually impaired. Its primary benefit is the large, easy-to-press rocker, offering a significant advantage in accessibility. A minor caveat is its specific 10 Amp rating, requiring confirmation for certain high-power applications. This switch features a slimline profile with concealed fixing centers and can be configured as either a 1-way or 2-way switch for flexible lighting control.

The Deta S1346 is rated for a maximum of 10 Amps. This is sufficient for most standard household lighting circuits.
It is generally recommended for lighting circuits. For high-draw appliances like heaters or fans, check their specific power requirements to ensure they do not exceed the 10 Amp rating of this switch.
This is a standard mechanical light switch and does not have built-in smart home capabilities. For smart control, you would need to pair it with a smart bulb or a separate smart switch module.
Turn off the power at the breaker. Use a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.
'2 Gang' means the switch has two independent switches on one plate. '2 Way' means each switch can control a light from two different locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs).
The concealed fixing centers are 60.3mm, which is a standard measurement for most UK back boxes.
Check that the power is on at the consumer unit. Verify wiring connections are secure and correct for 1-way or 2-way configuration. Ensure the bulb is functional.
Confirm that the wiring between the two switches is correctly implemented for 2-way functionality (traveler wires). Check for loose connections at both switches and the light fitting.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the rocker. Check that the switch is correctly mounted in the back box and not over-tightened, which can cause misalignment.
Setup:
Installation of the Deta S1346 requires electrical wiring knowledge. It should be installed according to local electrical regulations by a qualified person. The switch can be wired as a 1-way or 2-way switch. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning any electrical work. The concealed fixing centers (60.3mm) require standard back box mounting.
Compatibility:
This switch is compatible with standard household electrical systems and is designed for 230V AC circuits. It is rated for 10 Amps, making it suitable for most lighting circuits. Verify that the circuit load does not exceed this rating. It can be used with various types of bulbs including incandescent, halogen, and most LED types, though dimmable LEDs may require a specific dimmer switch.
Care:
To clean the Deta S1346, first ensure the power to the switch is turned off at the consumer unit. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surface. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the switch mechanism. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
