Product Information

Full details

The Trendi 8 Gang Rocker Switch is designed for homeowners and electricians looking to modernize lighting control in large, open-plan spaces or rooms with complex circuit layouts. This premium, purple-finished switch offers the distinct advantage of controlling up to eight separate lighting circuits from one centralized double-plate unit, all while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. While its screwless design provides a clean look, users should ensure their existing back boxes are at least 25mm deep to accommodate the 37mm installation requirement.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this switch require a neutral wire?

This is a standard mechanical rocker switch and typically uses live and switched-live wires; consult a qualified electrician for your specific circuit needs.

Can I use this with dimmable LEDs?

No, this is a standard switching unit. You would require a dedicated dimmer switch if you need dimming functionality.

What is the physical size of the plate?

The plate measures 146mm x 85mm, fitting the standard twin-gang width.

Is the finish resistant to scratches?

The finish is durable for domestic use, but avoid using abrasive cleaners to maintain the appearance.

Can this be used for outdoor lighting?

No, this product is designed for indoor domestic lighting circuits only.

Troubleshooting

The light flickers when switched on

Check that the wire connections are tightened securely in the terminals and verify that the LED lighting load is compatible.

Switch plate does not sit flush against the wall

Ensure that the mounting screws on the inner frame are not over-tightened and that the wires are tucked neatly behind the unit to prevent interference.

One of the rockers is not responding

Double-check the wiring diagram to ensure the specific gang is correctly wired to the light load and the common terminal is powered.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Controls 8 separate light circuits from one unit
  • Sleek, screwless finish adds a contemporary look
  • Versatile 1-way or 2-way wiring support
  • Suitable for LED and standard lighting loads
  • Durable construction meeting safety regulations

Cons

  • Requires deeper back boxes than standard flat switches
  • Purple finish may not suit every decor style
  • High gang count requires careful wiring management

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard electrical knowledge; ensure the power supply is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. This switch is designed to fit into standard UK back boxes with a minimum depth of 25mm (recommended 35mm-37mm for easier wiring).

  1. Ensure the wall surface is level to allow the screwless plate to sit flush.
  2. Connect wires to the corresponding terminals on the back of the switch block.
  3. Secure the inner metal frame to the back box.
  4. Snap the purple screwless decorative cover over the frame.

To clean, simply wipe the faceplate with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical sprays or abrasive pads, which may damage the finish.
