The switch is designed for standard flush-mounted boxes. The front panel measures 86mm x 86mm, and the module requires a mounting depth of 21mm.
4.3 Wiring Diagram
Image: Wiring diagram illustrating connections for a double rocker switch in both 1-way and 2-way configurations. Blue indicates Neutral, Red indicates Live, and Black indicates Load wires to the lights.
The switch supports both 1-way (single location control) and 2-way (multiple location control) wiring. Refer to the diagram for correct connections.
- Live Wire (L): Connect the incoming live wire to the 'L' terminal.
- Load Wires (L1, L2): Connect the load wires going to your light fixtures to the 'L1' and 'L2' terminals for each respective switch.
- Two-Way Wiring (L1, L2, L3): For 2-way control, connect the common live wire to 'L' and the two traveler wires between the switches to 'L1' and 'L2' (or 'L1' and 'L3' depending on the specific terminal layout). Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

5.3 Two-Way Control
If wired for two-way control, the switch can be used in conjunction with another two-way switch to control a single light fixture from two different locations (e.g., at the top and bottom of a staircase).
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: The crystal glass panel can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
- No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to disassemble the switch module. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn ON/OFF. | No power to the switch; Loose wiring connection; Faulty light bulb; Incorrect wiring. | Check circuit breaker; Ensure all wires are securely connected; Replace light bulb; Verify wiring against diagram, consult electrician if needed. |
| Switch feels loose in the wall. | Mounting screws are not tight. | Turn off power, then tighten mounting screws. |
| Phosphorescent dots do not glow. | Insufficient exposure to light. | Ensure the switch is exposed to ambient light during the day to charge the phosphorescent material. |
| Switch makes a buzzing sound. | Loose connection; Incompatible load (rare for mechanical switches). | Turn off power and check all wiring connections. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician. |
