It is not necessary to have a dimmer switch in the room already to fit a Candy Queen customised switch. You can have either a flick switch or an existing dimmer switch, either are very simple to replace with our dimmer switches. It is only the switch which needs to be replaced, not the wires in the wall or the light bulbs or fittings. Depending on the style of switch you choose, the lights will be turned on and off by either a rotary ‘Click’ On/Off action or a Push On/Off. If you do not wish to have the lights dimmed, simply turn on completely for full brightness. To make things easy to understand when choosing the right switch for you – A One Way Dimmer Switch is for 1-way circuits. This means that one light switch controls the lights – this is common in most bedrooms, kitchens, lounges etc. A Two Way Dimmer Switch is for 2-way circuits. This is where the same lights are controlled by two switches, (this is common on the stairs) you must choose a Push-On/Push-Off 2 way dimmer switch to replace one of your switches and/or a standard On/Off switch to replace the other if you´d like to have two funky switches (it is not necessary to replace both switches). Our Standard On/Off Switches Push On and Off. They still have a rotating action but DO NOT dim the lights, they are simple on/off switches. These can be used anywhere you have a dimmer or flick switch as a direct replacement. These switches are ideal for people who like the look of a dimmer switch but don’t particularly want the lights to dim. Please note, as these are Push-On and Puch-Off the switch knob (Car/Frog/Lizard etc) protrudes further than with the standard dimmer switches which look neater and have a satisfying ‘click’ action. Full fitting instructions and a wiring diagram are supplied with each switch. Fitting is a simple procedure and regular flick switches can easily be replaced with a dimmer switch. Dimmers make great ambient lighting. Simply turn down and relax.

How To Install Your Switch - ´Replacing a One Way Light Switch with a Dimmer Switch´ SWITCH OFF ELECTRICITY AT THE MAINS!!! First switch off the mains supply at the consumer unit and remove the fuse for the circuit you are working on. Undo the two fixing screws on the switch and pull out the switch from the mounting box. The existing light switch should have two terminals only. If it has three - one at the top and two at the bottom, then it is a two way switch. Unscrew the terminals and remove the conductors from the original switch. Replace the conductors in the new dimmer switch in the same positions as the old switch. Ensure the terminals are tight. If there is an earth this should be connected with a short length of earth wire to the earth on the mounting box inside the switch. Replace the new dimmer switch in the mounting box and secure it with the two screws. Power can now be restored at the consumer unit. REMEMBER... If in doubt consult a qualified electrician its better to be Safe than sorry and we don’t want you getting hurt ! Changing a light switch is relatively simple but it’s a job for someone who has experience with electrics. If in doubt, call in an electrician.
