Ajax SoloButton for LightSwitch (2-gang)
Summary
The Ajax SoloButton (2-gang) is a smart dual contactless touch button component designed for two-gang switch installations. As part of the LightSwitch Jeweller system, this sophisticated touch panel works seamlessly with the LightCore (2-gang) relay to provide independent control of two separate lighting circuits without physical contact.
Featuring Ajax’s advanced proximity sensing technology on both sides, each control activates when your hand approaches within 15mm of the respective surface area. This allows independent contactless operation of two lighting circuits from a single elegant switch plate, making it ideal for both residential and commercial environments where hygienic operation and modern aesthetics are important. The button includes optional soft night backlighting and is available in eight different colours to complement any interior design.

FAQ
How do the dual controls work on the SoloButton (2-gang)?
The SoloButton (2-gang) features two separate contactless touch areas, typically arranged as left and right controls. Each side independently activates when your hand gets within 15mm of that specific area, allowing you to control two different lighting circuits from one switch plate.
Can I control each lighting circuit independently?
Yes, each side of the SoloButton (2-gang) operates independently, allowing you to control the left and right lighting circuits separately. You can also control each circuit individually through the Ajax mobile apps for remote operation.
Does the contactless technology work with gloves or dirty hands?
Yes, the proximity sensing technology works effectively even when wearing gloves or with dirty or wet hands, making it perfect for kitchens, workshops, healthcare facilities, and other demanding environments where hygiene is important.
Can I turn off the night backlight?
Yes, the optional soft night backlight can be turned off in the Ajax app device settings if not required. The backlight is designed to be subtle enough not to disturb sleep when installed near bedrooms.
What colours are available for the SoloButton (2-gang)?
The SoloButton (2-gang) is available in eight colours: Black, White, Fog, Gray, Graphite, Ivory, Oyster, and Olive, allowing you to match any interior design scheme.
Can I use the SoloButton (2-gang) in larger combined switch installations?
Yes, the SoloButton (2-gang) can be used as part of combined switch installations with Frame (2-4 seats) configurations, alongside CenterButton and SideButton components for complex multi-switch setups.
