Product Information

Full details

This Deta 2 Gang Light Switch is designed for homeowners and electricians needing a reliable, single-pole, double-throw switching solution for controlling two separate lights or light circuits from one or two locations. Its key benefit is its versatility in wiring configurations, allowing for both one-way and two-way control. A potential consideration is its standard raised plate design, which may not suit minimalist aesthetics.

Troubleshooting

Switch not operating

Verify that the power supply is on at the consumer unit. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct for the chosen configuration (1-way or 2-way). Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

Only one switch on the gang works

Check the wiring for the specific gang that is not functioning. Ensure it is correctly connected to the light circuit and the corresponding terminals.

Flickering lights

This could indicate a loose connection or an incompatible bulb type (e.g., using a non-dimmable LED with a switch not designed for low-load switching). Check all connections and bulb compatibility.
