FAQs
What is a 2-way switch?
A 2-way switch allows a light or electrical circuit to be controlled from two different locations. This is achieved by using two 2-way switches wired together with traveler wires.
Can I use this switch to control a single light from one location?
Yes, you can use a 2-way switch as a single (one-way) switch. However, you would wire it using only the common terminal and one of the other terminals, leaving the traveler terminals unused. It's generally recommended to use a dedicated one-way switch for simplicity if only one control point is needed.
What is the warranty period for this switch?
The Lieber Light Switch comes with a 15-year guarantee.
How do I clean the switch?
Disconnect the power. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What does '4 Gang' mean?
'4 Gang' means the switch plate has four individual rocker switches on it, allowing you to control up to four separate circuits or lights.
Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?
This switch is designed for indoor domestic use. It does not have an IP rating for water or dust resistance and should not be installed outdoors.
Do I need special tools to install this switch?
Standard electrical tools are required, such as a screwdriver set (including a small flathead for wire terminals), wire strippers, and potentially a voltage tester. Always ensure the power is off before starting.
Troubleshooting
Switch not working
Verify that the power is switched on at the mains. Check all wire connections to ensure they are secure and correctly terminated. If using 2-way switching, confirm wiring aligns with the correct 2-way configuration.
Light flickers or doesn't turn off completely
This often indicates incorrect 2-way wiring. Double-check the traveler wires and the common connections at both switches. Consult a wiring diagram or a qualified electrician.
Switch feels loose or stiff
Ensure the switch is securely mounted to the backbox. If stiffness persists, it may indicate an internal fault; contact the manufacturer or a professional.
Screw caps do not fit or stay in place
Ensure you are using the correct screw caps provided. Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened but not overtightened, which could strip the threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
