Product Information

Full details

The Varilight Lily collection switched fused spur in Green is designed for homeowners and interior decorators looking to add a vibrant, personality-driven touch to their electrical fittings. This unit provides reliable double-pole switching and a built-in neon indicator for easy status monitoring, making it an excellent choice for appliances that require a dedicated fused connection. While it offers a distinct aesthetic appeal for modern interiors, users should ensure their wall boxes meet the 25mm depth requirement for a secure flush installation.

FAQs

Can I use this for my electric oven?

This unit is designed for 13A applications; ensure your appliance does not exceed this rating.

What is the depth required for the wall box?

You must use a wall box with a minimum depth of 25mm.

Does the neon light stay on all the time?

The neon indicator typically illuminates when the switch is in the 'on' position to indicate power is flowing to the load.

Can I change the fuse myself?

Yes, this unit is designed with a drawer or cover that allows for easy access to the replaceable 13A fuse.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, this is intended for indoor use only and is not rated for weather resistance.

What does double pole mean?

Double pole switching means that the unit disconnects both the live and the neutral wires from the supply, providing an extra layer of safety.

Troubleshooting

Neon indicator light does not illuminate when switched on

Check that the appliance is receiving power and the main circuit breaker is on. If the appliance works but the light is off, the internal neon bulb may have failed.

Appliance connected to the spur is not turning on

Verify if the 13A fuse inside the unit has blown. If it has, replace it with a new, matching 13A fuse.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Vibrant aesthetic finish adds character to any room
  • Neon indicator provides clear status feedback
  • Double pole design provides superior isolation safety
  • Compatible with standard 13A household appliances
  • Easy to maintain with replaceable internal fuse

Cons

  • Requires a minimum 25mm wall box depth for installation
  • The bold green color may not suit minimalist or neutral palettes
  • Installation requires basic electrical knowledge or professional help

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For a successful installation, ensure that you have a 25mm deep recessed wall box available, as shallower boxes will not provide sufficient clearance for the internal wiring and connections. Always turn off the main electrical supply before starting the installation process. If you are not confident with electrical wiring, it is highly recommended to consult a qualified electrician. To care for the faceplate, avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the vibrancy and finish of the paintwork. Periodically check that the terminal screws remain tight to prevent arcing or poor connections.
