Appearance, Function and Applications

The rocker switch are rectangular with a central fulcrum, press the bottom of the rocker switch to turn on, and the top of the rocker switch to turn off, an audible click will occur when turning on/off the switch.
..................................................
Varilight rocker switches are suitable for controlling mains and low voltage lighting, halogen, incandescent GLS, LEDs and any other lighting. 3 way switches are to be used where the lighting circuit is controlled by three switches (or 1 dimmer and 2 switches) often called a 3 way or intermediate circuit, this switch has four terminals on the back, enabling you to link all three switches, of the circuit, together. Make sure, on the 3 way circuit, that the other two switches are 2 way (or 1 dimmer and 1 switch). For example, imagine a room with 3 sets of doors leading in to that room and one ceiling light circuit. The switches beside two doorways are 2 way switches, beside the third doorway, the switch would be a 3 way. Another scenario: imagine the same room with 3 doorways and ceiling light circuit. Beside one doorway is a 2 way switch, another doorway has a dimmer switch, and the third doorway has a 3 way switch.

Antimicrobial copper works alongside routine cleaning and sanitisation procedures to reduce the spread of infection, making this range ideal for healthcare and domestic environments.
Exposure to copper destroys viruses and bacteria completely and irreversibly.
Germs die rapidly on copper, which keeps working 24/7, in between regular cleans. Our Tarnishing Antimicrobial copper range is made from solid copper so this effect won’t reduce overtime.
Normal tarnishing or wear of Antimicrobial Copper surfaces will not impair the antiviral effectiveness of the product.

..................................................
Although the Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper range was designed to manage germs on contact, this range can also be used in properties requiring a distressed finish, as they develop a natural patina. This patina can be reset by polishing with Brasso or similar, which removes all patina effects and allows you to add a different distressed finish to your own taste. Alternatively, if you require a polished copper finish, then regular cleaning with Brasso, or a similar product, is best.
..................................................
The VARILIGHT Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper range is made from un-lacquered and un-coated solid copper and comes complete with solid copper switch rockers to ensure maximum Antimicrobial/Antiviral efficacy and carries the Cu29 logo. Clip on faceplates remove the need for visible fixing screws, providing a flat surface to facilitate cleaning. Normal tarnishing of Antimicrobial/Antiviral copper surfaces will not impair the antibacterial effectiveness of the product.
Please Note: These products are Anti-Microbial Unlaquered Copper, therefore they tarnish as expected. If you prefer a lacquered version, look at Urban Polished copper

..................................................

Cleaning

Please follow the instructions on cleaning below, which is also shown in the instructions provided with the product. Never apply masking tape or other similar tape to the product. Avoid the use of any cleaning chemicals and always use a Gasket on freshly plastered, painted or damp walls as the plates may tarnish. (Plaster can take up to 6 months to dry out). A Gasket can be made from the packaging the product comes in, or a plastic bag can be cut to stop the plate touching the plaster. Unfortunately, if these Instructions are not followed, and the plate is damaged, it will void the product warranty.

Cleaning and sanitisation

This product will develop a natural patina. Routine cleaning and sanitisation procedures must continue to be implemented to reduce the potential for infection and to keep the Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper Alloy surface free of dirt and grime that could prevent contact with the surface and inhibit Antimicrobial/Antiviral performance. The appropriate cleaning agent depends on the type of soiling and the measure of sanitisation required. To remain effective the surface must not be coated in any way. Do not wax, paint, lacquer, varnish, or otherwise coat this product. Normal tarnishing or wear of Antimicrobial/Antiviral Copper Alloy surfaces will not impair the antibacterial effectiveness of the product. An effective cleaning agent for use on Antimicrobial/Antiviral copper product is citric acid. Apply a small amount to a polishing cloth and lightly wipe the affected area.
..................................................
This cleaning method with Citric Acid will remove bacteria build up. If you require the natural patina/tarnishing/distressed effect to be removed, this can be achieved by polishing with Brasso or similar, which will bring the product back to an original natural polished copper metal. Be sure not to use a cloth that is abrasive, unless you require a brushed effect.
