Product Information

Full details

The Lieber Silk 2 Gang Intermediate & 2 Way Switch is an ideal solution for homeowners and electricians looking to upgrade their lighting controls in hallways, staircases, or multi-entry rooms. Its primary benefit lies in its space-saving dual-functionality, combining a 2-way switch for standard on/off control from two locations and an intermediate switch for controlling a single light from three or more points. While it offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with a screwless finish, users should note that installing intermediate switching circuits requires a specific three-core wiring configuration that may necessitate professional electrical knowledge.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for a simple 1-way light circuit?

While technically possible, it is overkill; this switch is specifically designed for complex 2-way and intermediate circuits.

What is the depth of the switch?

The switch has a depth of 4.5mm from the wall surface.

Are the switches modular?

Yes, they are constructed using high-quality grid switches, allowing for custom orientation of the rockers.

Is this switch compatible with LED bulbs?

Yes, as a mechanical switch, it is compatible with LED lighting loads within the rated electrical capacity.

Do I need a deep back box for installation?

Standard depth back boxes are usually sufficient, but deeper boxes are recommended if there is excessive wiring behind the switch.

What happens if I lose the screw caps?

The screw caps are specific to the Lieber Silk range; it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or supplier for replacements.

Troubleshooting

Light does not toggle correctly from all positions

Verify the intermediate switch wiring; intermediate switches require specific 'strapping' wires to function correctly with other 2-way switches.

Switch feels loose in the back box

Ensure the mounting screws are tightened securely into the back box before attaching the decorative screwless plate covers.

Screw caps do not sit flush

Check that the screw heads are fully recessed into the mounting holes and clear any debris from the cap housing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combined switch types save space on wall plates
  • Clean, modern look with hidden screw caps
  • Versatile orientation options due to grid construction
  • High-quality, durable build for residential use

Cons

  • Requires professional knowledge for intermediate wiring
  • Not suitable for standard lighting circuits without correct wiring
  • Screwless covers may be difficult to remove once snapped in place

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local safety regulations. Before installation, ensure the power is isolated at the consumer unit. The unit fits standard 2-gang back boxes. When installing, carefully manage the three-core and earth cabling required for the intermediate switch function, as this differs significantly from a standard single-pole or 2-way wiring setup. To maintain the switch, wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvent-based sprays that could damage the white finish. Ensure the screw caps are pressed firmly until they snap into place for a flush look.
