FAQs

What is a 2-way switch?

A 2-way switch allows you to control a single light fixture from two different locations. For example, you can have one switch at the top of the stairs and another at the bottom, both controlling the same hallway light.

What does '10A' rating mean?

The '10A' rating indicates the maximum current (in Amperes) the switch is designed to safely handle. This is a standard rating for most domestic lighting circuits.

How do I clean the brushed chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, but always rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this switch for any type of light?

Yes, it is suitable for most standard incandescent, halogen, and LED lighting loads within its 10A rating. Ensure compatibility if using with specific smart bulbs or complex lighting systems.

Is the screwless finish durable?

Yes, the screwless finish is designed for durability and to hide fingerprints and blemishes. It is a robust finish common in modern switch designs.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The switch plate dimensions are approximately 86mm x 86mm, which is a standard UK size for light switches.

Does this switch come with a warranty?

Product warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please refer to your purchase receipt or the Soho Lighting website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Switch is unresponsive or faulty

Ensure the power is switched off at the consumer unit. Check all wiring connections are secure. If the issue persists, the switch may be faulty and should be replaced by an electrician.

Light flickers when switch is operated

This can indicate loose wiring or an incompatible bulb type (e.g., using a non-dimmable LED with a dimmer function if this were a dimmer switch, or an incompatible load for a standard switch). Have an electrician check the connections and bulb compatibility.

Difficulty installing the screwless plate

Ensure the main switch body is correctly mounted and flush with the wall. The screwless plate should clip securely onto the raised posts of the switch mechanism. Avoid forcing the plate; ensure all clips align correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This switch requires professional installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. The screwless design means the plate attaches last, covering the mounting box screws.

Compatibility:

  • Electrical System: Compatible with standard UK household 10A lighting circuits.
  • Wiring: Designed for 2-way switching circuits.
  • Back Box: Requires a standard single-depth UK back box (86mm x 86mm).
  • Inserts: Comes with white inserts; check if other insert colours are available for customisation.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the brushed finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for loose connections (by a qualified electrician only).
  • Environment: While it has a moisture-resistant gasket, avoid installing in areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact.
