Product Information
Full details
This Lieber 3 Gang 2 Way 10A Light Switch in White is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable and aesthetically pleasing lighting control solution. Its key benefit is offering versatile control for up to three lights from multiple locations, coupled with a durable satin white finish and a 15-year warranty. A minor consideration is that while it's a 2-way switch, it's often used even when only one switch controls a light, which may be more complex than a simple 1-way switch for basic applications. The product features a smooth satin white finish, robust engineering, screw caps for a clean look, and the flexibility of 2-way switching.

FAQs
What does '3 Gang 2 Way' mean?
A '3 Gang' switch has three separate switches on one plate. '2 Way' means each of those switches can control a light from two different locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs). So, you could have three lights controllable from two points each.
Can I use this for LED lights?
Yes, this 10A switch is generally compatible with LED lighting. However, always ensure the total wattage of your LED lights does not exceed the switch's rating and check for compatibility notes from your LED bulb manufacturer.
Do I need a special back box for this switch?
This switch is designed to fit a standard UK back box. Ensure the back box is deep enough to accommodate the wiring safely.
What is the warranty period?
The Lieber 3 Gang 2 Way Switch comes with a 15-year warranty.
How do I clean the switch?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. A mild soap solution can be used if necessary, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying.
Is this switch suitable for dimmer control?
This is a standard on/off 2-way switch. It is not designed for dimming functionality. You would need a dedicated dimmer switch for that purpose.
Can I use two 2-way switches to control one light?
Yes, that is the primary function of a 2-way switch. You can use two switches to operate the same light from different locations.
Troubleshooting
Switch not operating light
Verify that the power supply is on and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check all wiring connections are secure, especially if recently installed. Ensure correct 2-way wiring is implemented if applicable.
Light flickers or dims intermittently
This could indicate a loose connection at the switch or the light fitting. An electrician should check all connections. It may also suggest an incompatibility with the connected light bulb (e.g., LED compatibility).
One or more gangs are unresponsive
Check the wiring for the specific gang that is not working. Ensure it is correctly connected to the circuit and the light it controls. If multiple gangs fail, re-check the main power feed to the switch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This switch is designed for standard UK electrical wiring systems. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing any work. The switch is designed to fit into a standard UK back box.
Compatibility:
This is a 10A switch, suitable for standard domestic lighting circuits. It is compatible with most standard light fittings and wiring configurations that require 2-way switching. For optimal aesthetics, consider matching it with other fixtures in the Lieber Silk White range.
Care:
To maintain the satin white finish, clean the switch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
