Part of the Classic range, it offers a sophisticated silver finish with a raised profile, providing a durable 10A switching capacity for both mains and low-voltage lighting systems.

FAQs

Can I use this switch for low-voltage lighting?

Yes, this switch is rated for 10A and is compatible with both mains and low-voltage lighting systems.

What depth of wall box is required?

A minimum of 16mm depth is required for proper installation.

Does this switch come with a warranty?

Yes, every unit is covered by a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Is the silver finish prone to tarnishing?

When cleaned with a soft, dry cloth and kept away from harsh chemicals, the finish is designed to be durable and maintain its appearance.

Can this be used as a standard 1-way switch?

While it can be wired for simpler circuits, it is specifically designed to function as an intermediate switch for 3-way or multi-point control.

Troubleshooting

Lights flickering or not turning on

Verify that all wires are securely seated in the terminals and that the circuit is not overloaded beyond the 10A limit.

Switch rocker feels stuck or difficult to press

Ensure there is enough depth in the wall box; if wires are compressed against the back of the switch, re-arrange them for better clearance.

Switch does not control all three locations

Double-check the intermediate wiring configuration to ensure all travelers are connected to the correct L1, L2, and intermediate terminals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable build quality with a 10-year guarantee
  • Versatile 3-way lighting control capabilities
  • Sophisticated silver finish for a premium look
  • Easy to integrate with existing Classic range plates

Cons

  • Requires a minimum 16mm deep wall box
  • Limited to 10A circuits
  • Surface mount depth may be noticeable on very thin walls

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic electrical knowledge; always ensure the power supply is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. This switch is designed to fit into a standard 16mm deep wall box. During installation, ensure the wiring is secure within the terminals to prevent flickering or loose connections. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the silver faceplate. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull or scratch the metallic finish over time. If the switch feels stiff, check that the wiring behind the plate is not overcrowding the box, as excess wire tension can affect the rocker mechanism.
