Varilight Switches & Sockets are an award winning brand, reknown for quality throughout the world.
Q. What does the word "Gang" mean in the title of a switch or socket?
A. Gang is simply electrical jargon for the number of switches or sockets on a particular fitting. 1 Gang defines that there is a single switch. 2 Gang refers to two, and so on.
Q. You offer three different styles of face plate - Standard Plate, Screwless Plate & Ultra Flat Plate. What do these really mean?
A. Our three styles are as follows:
Standard Plate, sometimes known by manufacturers as Beveled Edge, is a traditional style of switch. It protrudes approximately 1-1.5 cm (1/3 Inch to a 1/2 inch) from the wall, has the screws visible towards either end of the plate.
Screwless Plate is a more modern, design. Screwless Switches & Sockets tend to protrude about .75 cm (0.3 inch) from the wall. The screws are still there, but the switch is designed to have a face plate that clips firmly and easily over them, creating the sleek, screwless effect.
Ultra Flat Plate is designed to be as close to flush with a wall as possible. Ultra Flat Plates protrude 1 or 2 mm (1/16 - 1/8 of an inch). The design of Ultra Flat Plate has twin screws visible to either side of the switch.
Other than this change in visual style, similarly rated switches throughout the Varilight range are identical in terms of electrical specification, quality, length of life and manufacturers guarantee.
