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.

All our switches can be set up as a 1 way switch or a 2 way switch

2 WAY SWITCH = 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.

We use the Dimpala Eclipse DIMR (Universal Dimmer) for all our dimmers, this unit is designed to provide optimised dimming of LED based lamps and drivers. This dimmer also provides excellent compatibility with other common lamp types such as incandescent lamps, 12V halogen (dichroic) lamps/transformers and dimmable CFL’s

A switch is required to turn the dimmer unit on and off

We use the Trader Meerkat MEFC 3 speed fan controller (1.6uF to 2.3uF capacitor) for all our fan controllers, this controller employs the use of capacitors to achieve linear speed control of the fans. This method of control helps to reduce motor hum commonly experienced when using a variable control.

This fan controller has a built in On/off switch
