FAQs

What is a 2-way switch?

A 2-way switch allows you to control a light or lighting circuit from two different locations. For example, you can turn a landing light on or off from both the top and bottom of the stairs.

Can I use this switch for dimming lights?

No, this is a standard on/off rocker switch and is not designed for dimming functionality. You would require a dedicated dimmer switch for that purpose.

What is the warranty period for this switch?

This Trendi Switch comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.

What is the maximum wire size this switch can accommodate?

The terminal capacity is a maximum of 5mm for 3x1.5mm² conductors.

Is an earth connection required for this switch?

No, this switch is Class 2, Double Insulated, meaning an earth connection is not required for safe operation.

How do I clean the Champagne Gold finish?

Wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents or solvents as they can damage the finish.

What is the required depth for installation?

The recommended minimum installation depth for the backbox is 25mm.

Troubleshooting

Switch not turning light on/off

Ensure main power is switched off. Check all wire connections to the switch terminals are secure and correctly placed. Verify that the correct wires for 2-way switching are connected if applicable. Confirm the light bulb is functional and the circuit breaker is not tripped.

Light flickers or dims intermittently

Ensure main power is switched off. Check for loose wire connections at the switch and the light fitting. Verify that the total load does not exceed the switch's 10 Amp rating. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the switch is securely mounted to the backbox and not overtightened. Check that no debris has fallen into the switch mechanism. If stiffness persists, the switch may need replacement.

Sparking when operating the switch

Immediately turn off the power to the circuit at the consumer unit. This indicates a serious electrical fault. Do not use the switch and contact a qualified electrician for inspection and repair.
