Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this switch with a metal lamp?

Yes, but ensure your lamp is properly grounded and the wiring is performed by a competent person to avoid safety risks.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is designed for indoor use only and is not water or weather-resistant.

What gauge of wire is compatible?

The switch is designed for standard twin-core flex typically found on table lamps.

Does this switch turn off both live and neutral wires?

Yes, as a double pole switch, it physically breaks the circuit on both lines for enhanced safety.

What is the maximum wattage I can use?

At 2A, the switch is suitable for lamps up to approximately 460 watts, though we recommend staying well within this limit for standard lighting.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on after installation

Verify that the live and neutral wires are securely fastened to the terminals and that the copper conductors are not touching.

Switch feels loose or does not click

Open the casing to ensure the internal rocker mechanism is properly seated and that no debris is obstructing the movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety with double pole isolation
  • Easy to operate rocker switch mechanism
  • Clean and modern black aesthetic
  • Highly reliable for standard table lamp applications

Cons

  • Requires wire cutting and professional installation technique
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty appliances or high-wattage heaters
  • Exposed screw terminals require careful handling during setup

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic tools including a wire stripper, screwdriver, and electrical tape. Ensure the lamp is disconnected from the power source before beginning. Cut the flex, strip back the insulation on both sides, and connect the live and neutral wires to the corresponding terminals within the switch housing. Tighten all screws firmly to prevent arching. Once installed, wipe the exterior with a dry cloth; avoid using water or household chemicals. Regularly inspect the cord for wear or fraying near the switch entry point to ensure continued safety.
