FAQs

What does '2 Way Switch' mean?

A 2-way switch allows a light or lighting circuit to be controlled from two different locations. For example, at the top and bottom of a staircase.

Can I use this switch for LED lights?

Yes, this switch is compatible with LED lighting circuits, provided the total load of the circuit does not exceed the 20A rating of the individual switch.

Are the switches pre-assembled on the plate?

No, the toggle switches and the faceplate are provided separately. This allows the installer to arrange the switches in their preferred order before final installation.

How do I clean the antique brass finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of a screwless design?

A screwless design creates a cleaner, more modern aesthetic by hiding all visible screws. The faceplate typically clips or snaps on, providing a seamless finish against the wall.

What is the amperage rating for each switch?

Each of the eight toggle switches is rated at 20 Amps (20A), suitable for most standard lighting circuits.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

This switch is designed for indoor use in dry locations. It does not have an IP rating for water or dust resistance.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on/off with a specific switch.

Check the wiring connections for that specific switch. Ensure the circuit breaker for that lighting zone is on. Verify the bulb or connected light fixture is functioning.

Switches feel loose or wobbly.

Ensure the modular components are correctly and securely attached to the backing plate, and that the faceplate is properly clipped into place.

The antique brass finish appears discolored.

Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Ensure the finish is not exposed to prolonged contact with corrosive substances.

Difficulty assembling switch components.

Refer to any included diagrams or manufacturer instructions. Ensure you are using the correct sequence and method for attaching each switch to the plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure power to the relevant circuit is completely isolated at the consumer unit.
Assemble the individual toggle switches onto the backing plate in the desired sequence. The components are designed to clip or screw into place on the modular plate.
Wire the switches according to standard electrical regulations, connecting the appropriate circuits to each 2-way switch.
Secure the assembled plate to the wall, ensuring it sits flush.
Attach the screwless faceplate, which typically clips or snaps into place over the assembled switch module.
Restore power and test each switch.

Compatibility:

This is a mains voltage light switch and is designed for standard home wiring systems.
It is compatible with most types of lighting circuits that do not exceed the 20A rating per switch.
Ensure the wall box depth is sufficient to accommodate the unit, especially with the modular components.

Care:

Clean the plate and toggles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the antique brass finish.
For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution on the damp cloth, then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
