FAQs

Can I use this for a one-way lighting circuit?

Yes, a two-way switch can be used in a one-way setup by simply using the Common and L1 terminals and ignoring the L2 connection.

Does this switch come with a warranty?

Yes, it includes a 1-year manufacturer guarantee from the date of purchase.

What is the physical size of this switch?

The switch measures 8.5 cm in height, 8.5 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in depth.

Is this switch compatible with dimmable lights?

No, this is a standard on/off rocker switch and does not provide dimming functionality.

Do I need special tools for installation?

You will need a standard screwdriver (usually flathead and Phillips) and a voltage tester to ensure the power is off.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on after installation

Check that the circuit breaker is on and verify all wires are securely seated in their respective terminals.

Switch feels loose or wobbly

Tighten the mounting screws attached to the back box; if the back box itself is loose, secure it to the wall studs.

Only one of the two switches works

Re-examine the wiring diagram; one gang is likely incorrectly wired or the wire has slipped from the terminal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports two-way switching for versatile lighting control
  • Clean, minimalist white design suitable for any room
  • Easy to install with provided mounting hardware and instructions
  • Standardized size fits most existing wall back boxes

Cons

  • Requires professional electrical knowledge for safe installation
  • White plastic finish may show signs of yellowing over very long periods
  • Limited to 220-250V systems only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed while the mains electricity supply is isolated at the consumer unit.

  1. Use the included fixing screws to mount the switch to an existing standard back box.
  2. Follow the provided wiring diagram carefully, ensuring Earth connections are properly bridged.
  3. Verify all connections are tight before powering the circuit back on.

To keep the switch looking new, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the finish or cause micro-scratches on the plastic surface. Regular checks of the wall mounting screws are recommended to ensure the switch remains flush against the wall.
