Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What is the difference between 1-way and 2-way switching?

1-way switching allows you to control a light from one location only, while 2-way switching enables control from two different locations (like top and bottom of stairs). This switch supports both configurations.

2) Can I use this 6A switch for a ceiling fan?

Yes, you can use this switch for on/off control of ceiling fans. However, for speed control, you'll need a separate fan regulator. The 6A rating is sufficient for standard ceiling fans which typically draw 70-100W.

3) What is the maximum wattage this switch can handle?

At 240V, this 6A switch can safely handle up to 1440 watts (6A × 240V). This is suitable for multiple LED bulbs, CFLs, or a combination of lights on a single circuit.

4) Can I replace my old switch with this Myrius NextGen switch?

Yes, but you'll need the complete Myrius NextGen modular system including the plate and frame. This switch is part of a modular system and cannot be used standalone. Ensure your existing wall box is compatible with modular fittings.

5) What wire size should I use for installation?

For 6A circuits, use 1.5 sq mm copper wire (14 AWG). This is the standard wire size for lighting circuits in residential installations. Always follow local electrical codes.

6) Does this switch make a clicking sound when operated?

Yes, like most quality switches, the Myrius NextGen switch produces a subtle click sound when toggled, indicating positive contact and reliable switching action. This is a sign of quality construction.
