Versatile 2-Way Switching Capabilities
Designed around dual-point lighting functionality, this 1 Gang 2 Way Switch allows homeowners and commercial users to control a single lighting circuit from two separate locations. This feature makes it highly essential for:
- Staircases & Hallways: Effortlessly turn lights on at the foot of the stairs and off at the top landing.
- Master Bedrooms: Control the main room illumination from both the wall entryway and your bedside.
- Open-Plan Living & Dining Spaces: Operates lighting fixtures from multiple access doors or partition zones.
Capable of operating in standard 1-way applications when necessary, the switch offers maximum flexibility during installation for certified electricians and building contractors.
Built for High Electrical Loads & Demanding Environments
Underneath its refined exterior, the Schneider UnicaX NUX31_2_DB is engineered for heavy-duty daily performance:
- 16AX Current Load Capacity: Rated for a high 16AX fluorescent/inductive load (250V AC, 50/60Hz). Unlike standard 10A residential switches, the 16AX rating easily copes with high initial current surges caused by modern LED drivers, fluorescent ballast arrays, and heavy-duty decorative chandeliers without contact degradation or welded contacts over time.
- Rugged Stainless Steel Faceplate: Built with solid stainless steel material rather than standard molded plastic, ensuring high resistance to scratches, thermal changes, impacts, and daily wear.
- IP20 Ingress Protection: Designed for clean interior installations across dry living rooms, bedrooms, meeting rooms, and hotel suites.
