What you need to know

What’s in the box?

This switch set consists of an insert including toggle, a square frame and a smaller round front plate, fixed with a small metal screw.


What does an electrician call this?

This is a 1-gang 2-way 10AX switch, or a 1-gang intermediate 10AX switch


Where is this used in the home?

A 1-gang 2-way switch is commonly used for controlling a single light source from one or two places. A 1-gang intermediate is used as the middle switch of three, controlling a single light source (for example in a hallway).


 

Installation

Gira switches are straightforward to install into standard British back boxes. All frame designs have the same rocker size and inserts. Just follow the step-by-step pictures below or go to our Gira rocker switch installation page.

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