Full details
The AET 1-Gang 2-Way Light Switch is designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to upgrade their home hardware with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. The primary benefit is its high-quality metal rocker construction paired with a durable satin chrome finish, which adds a premium feel to any modern room.

Troubleshooting
Switch feels loose or does not engage the light
Check that the terminal screws are tightened correctly and that wires are fully seated into the terminals.
Switch plate does not sit flush against the wall
Verify the back box depth is at least 25 mm; if the box is shallower, the mechanism will prevent the faceplate from sitting flat.
Light flickering after installation
Ensure all connections are secure and that the circuit load does not exceed the 10 Amp rating of the switch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic electrical knowledge; if you are unsure, consult a certified electrician. Ensure the power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning work. This switch fits standard UK back boxes, provided they offer at least 25 mm of depth to accommodate the rear mechanism. For maintenance, keep the switch looking pristine by wiping the satin chrome surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the metallic finish and lead to premature scratching or discoloration.
