FAQs

What does double pole mean?

A double pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral supply wires, providing complete electrical isolation for the appliance.

Can I use this for lighting?

While it can be used for lights, 20A double pole switches are primarily intended for high-power appliances and heavy-duty loads.

Is this switch compatible with standard UK back boxes?

Yes, it is designed to be compatible with standard-sized single-gang UK wall boxes.

Does the finish tarnish over time?

Like most metallic finishes, it may develop a patina over many years; keep it clean to maintain the original appearance.

Is a professional installer required?

Yes, electrical work should always be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or has a 'dead' feel

Check that the mounting screws are tightened appropriately to the back box and verify internal wiring connections are secure.

Visible spots or dullness on the bronze finish

Gently clean the surface with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to remove oils; do not use polishes or abrasive cleaners.

Power is not reaching the appliance

Verify that the wiring is correctly connected to the L-IN, L-OUT, N-IN, and N-OUT terminals and that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated bronze aesthetic enhances interior decor
  • 20A rating supports heavy-duty electrical appliances
  • Double pole design ensures full electrical isolation
  • Robust build quality for long-term reliability
  • Easy installation for standard wall mounting

Cons

  • Metallic finish may show fingerprints or smudges
  • Requires careful cleaning to preserve the bronze coating
  • Single-gang design limits use to one circuit control

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all local building regulations and safety standards are met. This switch is designed to fit standard British-style wall boxes. Before installation, always ensure the mains power is completely isolated at the consumer unit. When mounting, ensure that the wires are securely fastened to the appropriate terminals. To maintain the bronze finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the finish or cause scratching. Instead, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth, lightly dampened with water if necessary, and buff the plate gently to restore its luster.
