Product Technology
Sollysta
Neutral Loop Terminal
For many years domestic lighting circuits have been connected using the three plate method where the loop terminal is at the ceiling rose.
Today, it is increasingly likely that there is a decorative light fitting or even downlighters fitted in place of a standard pendant. These fittings are rarely provided with a neutral loop terminal.
It has also become popular to make the loop connection at the switch. This has the advantage of the connections being accessible and at a more convenient working height.
However, this leaves the problem of terminating the neutral conductor. One solution is to connect the neutral to a connector block inside the wall box, which takes up extra space.
Our solution is the Sollysta light switch which has a unique neutral loop terminal, built in.
Unique Safety Shutters
One of the fundamental requirements of the BS 7671 Wiring
Regulations is to provide basic protection against electric shock.
Sollysta sockets have a unique patented shutter system that not only requires the earth pin to be inserted first, but the simultaneous insertion of the live and neutral pins as well, before the shutter mechanism is activated. This enhances safety by making it difficult to defeat the mechanism and therefore reducing the risk of electric shock.
Advantages of Sollysta
for installers
Across the range
Sollysta was designed from the start to be the easiest on the market to install. We've kept these hallmark
features across the range to ensure that no matter what you're installing, it's always a simple job.
Terminals
Terminals all face in the same direction, removing the need to rotate the product during installation. Screws are also backed out to save installation time and captive so they don't get lost.
Lead-ins
Wire End Stops
A positive wire end stop provides added security of connection.
Projection
The range has been designed to offer the shallowest projection possible in the back box, maximising space for cabling.

Sollysta
White Moulded
The Sollysta White Moulded switch range is one of
the easiest on the market to install, and with the shallow back-projection more cabling space is offered.
Behind the faceplate, the terminals face in the same direction with lead-ins for wiring, backed off screws held captive to prevent loss, wire end stops and clear white labelling off a dark grey background.
The wall switches are also the market's first with a neutral loop terminal built into the accessory. This allows the installer to complete the loop connection in the switch instead of in the ceiling rose.
