FAQs
Can I use this switch for a 2-way lighting circuit?
Yes, although it is designed for intermediate (3-way) switching, intermediate switches can generally be used in 2-way configurations, though a standard 2-way switch is more common for those setups.
What is the maximum depth required for the back box?
You need a back box with a minimum internal depth of 25mm to accommodate the switch mechanism.
Does this switch come with screws?
This model features a screwless front plate design for a clean look, though it still utilizes internal mounting screws to fix the base to the back box.
Is this switch compatible with LED lights?
Yes, this switch is compatible with LED lighting circuits, provided the total load does not exceed the 10 Amp rating.
Can I install this switch myself?
While simple for those with experience, electrical work involves risk. If you are not confident in your ability to wire circuits safely, it is recommended to hire a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
Switch feels loose or doesn't sit flush against the wall
Verify that the back box is at least 25mm deep and that no excess wiring is preventing the switch from seating fully.
Light does not toggle correctly from one of the three positions
Re-check your wiring configuration against the intermediate switch diagram, specifically ensuring that the 'strap' wires are connected to the correct terminals.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant, modern screwless aesthetic
- Reliable intermediate switching functionality

- Requires a minimum 25mm back box depth

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the power is completely isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. Verify that your existing back box meets the 25mm depth requirement, as the low-profile design of the switch may not seat properly in shallower boxes. Secure the wiring according to the provided terminal diagram for intermediate switching. To maintain the finish, clean the switch using a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or harsh detergents that could scratch the white finish or damage the internal mechanism.
