What you need to know

What’s in the box?

This switch set consists of an insert (including rotary and front plate, fixed with a small metal screw), and a square frame.

Where is this used in the home?

A 1-gang 2-way dimmer is commonly used for controlling a single light source from one or two places.


 

Installation

THPG toggle switches require a bit more patience to wire up, simply because they are modelled on original designs and don't have the modern conveniences of push-contacts and encapsulated backplates.

Just follow the step-by-step pictures below or go to ourย THPG toggle switch installation page. Like all THPG switches, these have open screw terminals.

NB: We used a European round box in the step-by-step pictures, but the procedure is the same for square UK boxes.
