FAQs

Can I use this switch for an extractor fan?

No, this switch is rated at 6 Amps and is designed specifically for lighting loads. Check your extractor fan's current draw before choosing a switch.

What does 2-way switching mean?

It means the light can be switched on or off from two separate switch locations in the same room.

Is this switch waterproof?

It is designed for bathroom environments (moisture-resistant) but is not submersible or rated for direct water jet exposure.

Does it come with a replacement cord?

The unit includes a cord, but standard white nylon pull cord replacements are widely available if the original wears out.

Can I install this myself?

If you are comfortable with basic electrical maintenance and possess a voltage tester, you can perform a replacement, but always follow local electrical safety codes and regulations.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on when cord is pulled

Check the light bulb, then ensure the circuit breaker is active. If the bulb is fine, verify all wire connections are secure at the switch terminals.

Switch feels stuck or sluggish

Ensure the cord is not catching on the housing rim. If the internal mechanism is jammed, the switch unit should be replaced for safety.
