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.
