Classic Electric Switch Co are happy to repolish and relacquer any covers for a small fee or use the following D.I.Y. method of re-finishing 1. Remove covers from switches, they are legal and safe with the covers removed it is not necessary to turn the power off. 2. Remove old laquer with thinners or acetone applied with a soft cloth. 3. Repolish with brass/metal polish 4. Apply a clear metal lacquer which is available in spray packs.

2 WAY SWITCH = 1 Switch to 1 Light OR 2 Switches to 1 Light.
INTERMEDIATE = 3 switches to 1 light. Intermediate switches are used when 3 switches are required to control 1 light. To do this you need 2×2 WAY switch and 1x INTERMEDIATE switch.
Our ranges incorporate the Clipsal Universal & LED Dimmer mechanism. The Universal Dimmer can be used as a variable Fan Control but it does require a separate switch to turn the mechanism on and off. We recommend the 3 speed fan control which has an in built on/off switch, it also comes with a capacitor unit which eliminates fan motor hum commonly experienced when using a variable control.
