Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a double pole light switch and why is it important in caravans or RVs?
A double pole light switch isolates both the active and neutral conductors when switched off, providing a safer disconnection of electrical circuits. This is particularly important in caravans, RVs, and mobile installations where wiring safety is critical and mandated by Australian Standards for transportable dwellings.
Are these switches compliant with Australian standards?
Yes, our double pole light switches meet the safety and construction requirements as outlined in the relevant Australian Standards for electrical accessories used in caravans and RVs. Always ensure installation is performed by a licensed electrician.
What’s the difference between architrave and wafer slimline switches?
Architrave switches are narrow-profile switches designed for compact spaces like door frames or small cabinetry, while wafer slimline switches are ultra-thin, offering a sleek, low-profile appearance ideal for modern RV interiors.
Can I replace just the switch cover or mechanism without changing the entire switch?
Yes. We stock individual covers, grid plates, and switch mechanisms to allow for easy replacements and customisation. This is cost-effective and reduces unnecessary waste.
What gang configurations are available?
We supply 1 to 5 gang double pole switches, allowing you to control multiple lighting circuits from a single compact plate, perfect for space-constrained caravan and RV installations.
What mounting options are available for these switches?
We stock a range of compatible mounting blocks and flanges in various depths (10mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 35mm), suited to surface mounting or flush wall applications. These are available in white, black, or silver to match your decor.
Can these switches be used in extra low voltage (ELV) systems?
Yes, we also offer ELV-compatible switch variants designed for 12–24V systems, commonly used in off-grid solar setups, boats, or auxiliary vehicle power systems.
