How to Choose the Right Switch and Socket
Switch and Socket Buying FAQs
A one-way switch controls a light from one location. A two-way switching arrangement lets you control the same light from two locations, such as both ends of a staircase.
Choose a series based on the room’s design, plate finish, available gang sizes, required functions and compatibility with the existing box and wiring.
Check the socket type, current rating, voltage, shutter or child-protection features, earthing arrangement, plate size and compatibility with the plug and wiring.
Gang size indicates how many modules or positions the plate can accommodate. Select a size that fits the required switches, sockets and other controls.
Shuttered sockets help reduce accidental access to live contacts, but safe wiring, proper earthing and qualified installation are still essential.
Mixing may create differences in plate size, colour, mounting and fit. Use compatible products from the same series where possible and verify measurements before installation.
