Product Information

Full details

The Alliance Electrical Classical Double Light Switch is designed for homeowners and interior decorators seeking a sophisticated, traditional aesthetic for their lighting controls. This 10 Amp, 2-gang switch offers the versatility of both 2-way and 1-way operation, making it ideal for staircases, hallways, or dual-entry rooms. While its polished chrome and black finish provides a high-end look, users should be aware that the raised profile design may protrude more from the wall compared to modern ultra-slim, screwless alternatives.

FAQs

Can this be used as a 1-way switch?

Yes, it can be wired for 1-way operation by simply using the common and L1 terminals, ignoring the L2 connection.

Does this switch require a neutral wire?

Generally, standard UK light switches do not require a neutral wire; however, you should consult your existing wiring or a qualified electrician.

What is the maximum amperage?

This switch is rated for 10 Amps, which is standard for most household lighting circuits.

Is the black insert removable?

No, the black insert is a permanent design feature of the plate.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is intended for indoor use only and does not carry an IP rating for moisture protection.

How do I clean the mirror finish without scratching it?

Use a dry or slightly damp soft microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels or scouring pads, as these can cause micro-scratches on the chrome surface.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or does not toggle firmly

Check that the mounting screws are tightened securely into the wall back-box and ensure no debris is obstructing the rocker mechanism.

Light flickers when toggled

Verify that all wires are fully inserted and tightened into the terminals; loose connections are a common cause of flickering.

Switch does not control light from both locations

Verify that the wiring is set up for 2-way switching (using the common, L1, and L2 terminals) and that the wiring diagram matches your existing installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This switch is designed for standard UK mounting boxes. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all `CPC2GSWIBC` wiring configurations meet local safety codes. Ensure power is isolated at the consumer unit before removing old faceplates. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch the chrome mirror finish. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth with a mild, non-solvent cleaner to remove fingerprints or dust, keeping the switch looking like new.
