Troubleshooting
Switch not operating light
Verify that the power is switched back on at the mains. Check all wiring connections against the fitting instructions. Ensure the correct type of switch (1-way, 2-way, intermediate) is used for the circuit.
Light flickers or operates intermittently
Loose wire connections are the most common cause. Turn off power and carefully re-check all terminal connections. Ensure the back box is securely fastened and not flexing.
Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the switch plate is not over-tightened against the wall, which can cause distortion. Check for any debris within the toggle mechanism. If the issue persists, the unit may be faulty.
Matt black finish appears smudged
Gently wipe the surface with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent marks, use a mild soap solution on the cloth and dry thoroughly.
