Dave&Olive Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 hi ok I have Legrand light switches, and the person who fitted them never left any instructions on using them. Does anyone know where I can get some from?, or does anyone have any instructions they can scan and send me. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 With our light switches you press them one way and the light comes on, when you press them the other way the light goes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave21478 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Be careful though - I have some switches which when pressed one way, come on and when pressed the other way, go off. However, these are not the same as some others in the house which when pressed one way go off and when pressed the other way come on.Come to think of it, I have some switches in the hallway which are sometimes on when pressed one way and sometimes on when pressed the other way. It seems to depend what way the other switch in the hallway is - perhaps a compatibility issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulT Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Congratulations Dave on the embracing of new technology.I presume the candle snuffers are now on ebay [:D]PaulPS I have one switch that does not always turn a light on when pressed - do not know if it is a manufacturing fault or an energy saving design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert the InfoGipsy Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 We've got three switches in our living room and one of them doesn't switch anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I wonder if the OP now feels enlightened or whether he has just switched off. Strange he has not come back to thank us for all this excellent advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert the InfoGipsy Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 In our last place there was two-way switching in the entrance hall (hall!) which was about 5 ft square. I could reach both switches at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave&Olive Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 hi ok The part that puzzles me is when I want to use the switch it is dark and I cannot find it ...as soon as the sun comes up there the little bug-ger is . Must be a software problem ? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well, I am not sure that the OP has yet got the answer that he is looking for? But! We have several switches in our house that if you press their bottoms the associated light comes on, BUT if you press the bottom again, because it has ignored the first push and gone back to its original position (must be femail!) the light goes off again?Then if you go to yet another switch in the same room, kitchen/diner, and push yet another switch another light comes on and that bit of a double switch stays where it is, but the other bit of the switch is femail too and always returns to the original position!It were never like this when I were a lektrishion on our Queens aeorplanes?
