Product Specifications

Application within the Trinity System

The Trinity 16A 1 Lever 2 Way Switch 4X2 is a crucial component for functional lighting design. It is used in pairs to create a standard multi-way circuit. For a consistent aesthetic, it should be installed alongside other products from the Trinity range, such as standard 1-way switches, socket outlets, and isolators.

Ideal Use

A 2-way switch is essential for any area where you need to control a light from two different entry or exit points. This switch is the perfect solution for:

• Staircases: For switching lights on at the bottom and off at the top (or vice versa).
• Long Hallways and Passages: Allows lights to be controlled from either end.
• Large Rooms with Multiple Entrances: Ideal for living rooms, open-plan areas, or conference rooms.
• Master Bedrooms: Perfect for controlling the main room light from both the main door and the bedside.
• Garages: Enables control of the light from both the internal access door and the main garage door.
• Walk-in Wardrobes: Allows control from the bedroom entrance and from inside the wardrobe.

Tips

• Wiring Requirement: A 2-way switching circuit requires two 2-way switches. You will need to purchase two of these units to control a single light from two locations. This switch will not work as a standalone standard switch.
• Conductor Terminals: A 2-way switch has three terminals: a common terminal and two "strappers" (L1 and L2). The permanent live is connected to the common of the first switch, and the switched live to the light is connected to the common of the second switch. Two traveller wires connect the L1 and L2 terminals between the two switches.
• Professional Installation: Due to the more complex wiring compared to a 1-way switch, it is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• Distinguishing from 1-Way: If you only need to control a light from one single point, you must use the Trinity 16A 1 Lever 1-Way Switch (TS2011).
• Cleaning: To maintain the finish, clean the faceplate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents which can damage the polycarbonate surface.
