Key Features

2 Gang, 2 Way Switching Functionality

This switch allows control of two separate lighting circuits from two different locations. It is ideal for spaces such as stairwells, long hallways, dual-access living rooms, or large bedrooms with multiple entry points. Each gang controls a separate light, and each can be operated in 2-way configuration.

User-Friendly Installation

Top-access angled terminals simplify cable insertion, even in tight back boxes.

Embossed terminal markings allow electricians and installers to identify connection points quickly, reducing wiring errors.

Retained fixing screws prevent accidental dropping or loss during installation.

Only one screwdriver size is required for terminals and screws, streamlining the process.

Dual Earth Terminals

Integrated dual earth terminals provide safe and compliant earthing when used in metal back boxes or where continuity of earth connections is needed across multiple accessories in the same enclosure.

Contemporary Square Edge Faceplate

The minimalist square edge design delivers a clean, modern look that integrates effortlessly into both traditional and contemporary interior styles. It blends into most wall finishes and aligns perfectly with other Securlec Square Edge devices for visual consistency.

Durable and Safe Construction

Manufactured using high-quality, flame-retardant thermoplastic materials, the switch is designed to resist cracking and discolouration over time. Its robust internals and double pole switching feature provide added safety by isolating both live and neutral terminals in certain applications.

Applications

Residential homes (living rooms, staircases, bedrooms)

Commercial buildings and office suites

Shared lighting in corridors and entryways

Light control in open-plan spaces

Dual switch-points for convenience in large rooms
