Key Features

2 Gang 2 Way Switching Function

Allows two separate lights or circuits to be independently controlled from two different switch locations—perfect for hallways, staircases, large rooms, or open-plan spaces. Compatible with standard wiring practices for 2-way switching.

Double Pole Switching (Enhanced Safety)

Incorporates double pole functionality to ensure both live and neutral conductors are isolated—an added layer of protection in certain lighting circuits or load types, especially in commercial applications or installations where maximum isolation is preferred.

Installer-Friendly Design

Large angled terminals simplify wiring and provide a strong grip for solid or stranded cable.

Top terminal access ensures quicker connections and easier reach in restricted spaces.

Heavily embossed terminal markings reduce wiring errors and support faster, clearer identification during installation or maintenance.

Only one screwdriver size required for both terminal and fixing screws—minimising tool changes on-site.

Dual Earth Terminals

Provides flexibility in meeting earthing requirements, especially when installing into metal back boxes or ensuring continuity across multiple faceplates.

Retained Faceplate Screws

Fixing screws are maintained by an integrated earth strap, preventing loss during fitting and allowing quick, secure mounting.

Aesthetic Square Edge Finish

Designed to visually integrate with modern interior styles, the flat-profile square edge faceplate blends seamlessly with painted or wallpapered surfaces and matches other accessories in the Securlec Square Edge series.

Ideal Applications

Residential lighting circuits (living rooms, bedrooms, staircases)

Commercial buildings and offices

Corridor or hallway lighting control

Shared switch locations for two lighting zones

Renovation or new-build electrical installations

Installation Notes

Turn off power at the distribution board before installation.

Mount the switch into a standard 1-gang flush wall box with a minimum depth of 25mm.

Wire each gang according to standard 2-way switch wiring configurations.

Ensure secure connection of earth conductors using the dual earth terminals.

Use the retained M3.5 fixing screws to secure the faceplate to the back box.

Restore power and test both switching circuits for proper operation.

Always install in accordance with the latest edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Only qualified electricians should carry out electrical work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between 1-way and 2-way switches?
A: A 1-way switch controls a light from one location. A 2-way switch allows a light to be controlled from two separate locations—ideal for stairwells, long corridors, or dual-entry rooms.

Q2: Can I use this for outdoor lighting?
A: Yes, but only in indoor locations or within a properly rated weatherproof enclosure. The switch itself is not IP-rated for direct outdoor use.

Q3: Is this part of a matching range?
A: Yes. It is part of the Securlec Square Edge series, which includes sockets, cooker units, fused connection units, and USB-integrated accessories.

Q4: Does this switch require a neutral wire?
A: No, standard 2-way light switches typically switch only the live conductor. However, the terminal layout accommodates both line and switched-line connections.

Q5: Is this suitable for LED lighting circuits?
A: Yes. The 10A rating supports standard and LED lighting loads. Ensure that any LED dimmers used in the same circuit are compatible.
