Hi,

I have a crabtree patress box for an architrave switch and one end
is marked "top". Is there any reason it has to have this end at the
top? I ask because the top only has one cable entry; the bottom has
two and I would like to drop two cables through the top. Is there a
reason I can't install it upside down?

TIA

Because the switch will be 'on' in the 'off' position? (unless 2 way)

He's talking about the backbox, not the switch. You can fit the switch
on the backbox either way up.

I am not sure that you can on the Crabtree ones! Zoom in on the picture and
look at the lug under the earth tag

I don't have one to check it with.

Unless you are fitting a retractive switch then it really does not matter as
you will use a 2 way switch
