Product Information

Full details

This Brushed Chrome 1 Gang 2 Way Light Switch from The Soho Lighting Company is ideal for homeowners seeking a blend of modern aesthetics and practical functionality. Its key benefit is a stylish, screwless brushed chrome finish that complements contemporary interiors and hides fingerprints. A potential caveat is that the brushed finish may be visually similar to satin chrome, requiring careful consideration for matching existing fixtures. This switch offers a distinctive appearance with a warmer tone than polished chrome, featuring smooth, rounded edges and a subtle lustre.

FAQs

What does '1 Gang 2 Way' mean?

A '1 Gang' switch controls one lighting circuit. '2 Way' means that this switch can operate the light from two different locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs).

Is this switch suitable for LED lights?

Yes, this switch is generally compatible with LED lights, provided the LED fixture itself is dimmable if used with a dimmer (this is a standard on/off switch, not a dimmer). Always check the compatibility of your LED driver if issues arise.

How do I clean the brushed chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Always dry the surface thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.

What is the warranty period for this switch?

The switch comes with a 15-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Can I use this switch in a bathroom?

While the switch has a moisture-resistant gasket, it is not rated for wet zones. It can be used in a bathroom outside of zones 0, 1, and 2 where direct water contact is unlikely. Always consult building regulations for specific zone requirements.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The dimensions of the switch plate are 86mm x 86mm x 4.5mm.

Does this switch come with screws for mounting?

The switch features a screwless finish design, meaning the mounting screws are concealed for a cleaner aesthetic. Installation hardware requirements should be confirmed during the installation process.

Troubleshooting

Switch not operating light

Ensure power is restored and check all wiring connections. Verify that the bulb in the light fixture is functional. Confirm the switch is correctly wired for 2-way operation.

Flickering light

Check for loose wire connections at the switch and the light fixture. Ensure the bulb is securely fitted. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Switch feels loose on the wall

Turn off the power supply. Carefully remove the switch plate and ensure the backplate is securely fixed to the wall box. Reattach the switch plate firmly.

Finish appears dull or scratched

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For minor scuffs, a specialist metal polish suitable for brushed chrome might be considered, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
