FAQs

What type of back box do these switches require?

These switches are designed to fit into a standard UK wall back box with a depth of 25mm to 35mm.

What is the difference between 2-way and intermediate switches?

A 2-way switch allows a light to be controlled from two locations. An intermediate switch allows a light to be controlled from three or more locations (it sits between two 2-way switches).

How do I clean the satin/brushed chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.

Are these switches suitable for LED bulbs?

While compatible with most standard lighting circuits, for LED bulbs, it is recommended to check if the LED bulb itself is dimmable and if a specific type of dimmer switch is required, although these are standard toggle switches, not dimmers.

What is included in the 5-pack?

The 5-pack includes five toggle light switches in a Satin / Brushed Chrome finish, along with colour-coded fixing screws and plastic gaskets for each switch. Full fitting instructions are also included.

What warranty is provided?

These switches come with a 10-year guarantee, offering peace of mind for your purchase.

Can I use these switches outdoors?

No, these switches are designed for indoor use only and must be installed within a standard UK wall back box.

Troubleshooting

Switch not operating the light.

Ensure the power is switched on at the consumer unit. Double-check all wiring connections against the fitting instructions. If using intermediate switches, verify the wiring between all involved switches.

Flickering light.

Check for loose wire connections at the switch and the light fitting. Ensure the bulb is compatible with the switch type (e.g., not overloaded).

Switch feels loose.

Tighten the fixing screws securing the switch plate to the back box. Ensure the back box itself is securely fitted to the wall.

Switch plate is damaged.

Contact the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement part, especially if within the 10-year guarantee period.
