Product Information

Full details

This Lieber 10A 2 Gang 2 Way Switch in Brushed Chrome is designed for homeowners and electricians seeking a stylish and functional electrical component. Its primary benefit is the elegant brushed finish that resists fingerprints, offering a sophisticated look that complements modern interiors. A potential caveat is that it's a 2-way switch, which might be more complex than a basic 1-way switch for simple applications, though it offers greater control options. Key features include a durable brushed chrome finish, dual 10A gang capacity, and 2-way switching functionality suitable for controlling lights from multiple locations.

FAQs

What is a 2-way switch?

A 2-way switch allows a light or circuit to be controlled from two separate locations. This is achieved by using two 2-way switches wired together.

Can I use this switch to control a light from only one location?

Yes, while designed for 2-way control, you can wire a 2-way switch as a 1-way switch if only control from a single location is needed. However, a dedicated 1-way switch is simpler for this purpose.

How do I clean the brushed chrome finish?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution, then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this switch suitable for LED lights?

Yes, provided the total wattage of the LED lights does not exceed the 10A rating of the switch. It's always best to check the specific load requirements of your lighting.

What are the dimensions of the switch?

The switch measures 86mm x 86mm x 2 mm and is designed to fit standard UK back boxes.

Does the switch come with screws?

This is a screwless design, meaning the plate itself attaches without visible screws for a cleaner look. Mounting screws for the back box are typically part of the electrical box installation.

What warranty does this product have?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Switch not working

Ensure the power is restored at the mains. Verify wiring connections are secure and correct for a 2-way circuit. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

Light flickers or dims

Check that the load does not exceed the 10A rating. Ensure all wire connections are tight. If the issue persists, the light fixture or wiring may require inspection.

Only one switch controls the light

This indicates an incorrect 2-way wiring setup. Re-check wiring or consult an electrician to ensure both switches are correctly linked for simultaneous control.

Finish is damaged

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning. For significant damage, replacement of the switch plate may be necessary.

  • Screwless design enhances aesthetic appeal.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This switch requires installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. It is designed to fit standard UK electrical back boxes (86mm x 86mm).

  1. Ensure the power supply to the circuit is completely switched off at the mains.
  2. Remove the old switch plate.
  3. Connect the appropriate wires to the corresponding terminals on the Lieber switch, following standard 2-way wiring principles.
  4. Secure the new screwless plate to the back box.
  5. Restore power and test the switch functionality.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard UK wiring systems.
  • Designed for 10A circuits.
  • Suitable for controlling lighting circuits where control from two locations is desired.
  • Requires compatible wiring for 2-way switching; if only one switch is needed per light, a simpler 1-way switch would suffice.

Care:

  • Clean the brushed chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
  • Periodically check that the switch plate remains securely fitted.
