Transform Your Interior Aesthetics with Schneider UnicaX
When luxury design meets engineering precision, the result is the Schneider UnicaX Series. Designed to cater to contemporary architectural demands, the Schneider UnicaX 2 Gang 2 Way Switch in Jet Black (Model: NUX32_2_JB) serves as an elevated replacement for standard, outdated light switches. Whether you are renovating a luxury bungalow in Bangsar, fitting out a modern condominium in Mont Kiara, or updating a commercial office in Kuala Lumpur, this sleek switch adds instant refinement to any wall surface. Finished in an opulent Jet Black color tint with premium stainless steel material construction, the UnicaX range eliminates the cheap plastic look typical of basic fittings. Its ultra-slim profile sits nearly flush against drywall, concrete, or tiled surfaces, creating seamless visual transitions across interior walls.
Versatile 2-Gang, 2-Way Functionality
The NUX32_2_JB model is equipped with two individual rockers, offering independent control over two separate lighting circuits from a single wall plate.
- 2-Gang Configuration: Manage two distinct light sets—such as ambient recessed downlights and accent pendant lights—without cluttering your wall with multiple switch plates.
- 2-Way Switching Capability: Allows seamless multi-location lighting control. Connect the switch with another 2-way switch to control the same light fixture from two different areas, such as the top and bottom of a staircase, opposite ends of a hallway, or by the doorway and bedside.
Engineered for Superior Durability and High Electrical Loads
Unlike standard 10A home switches, the Schneider UnicaX NUX32_2_JB is engineered with a 16AX current rating at 250V AC (50/60Hz). The "AX" rating signifies its ability to handle high inductive and fluorescent lighting loads, including modern LED drivers, high-wattage chandelier setups, and heavy commercial lighting configurations, without experiencing contact welding or premature arc wear. Constructed using high-quality stainless steel internal and faceplate architecture, the switch resists fingerprint marks, corrosion, and physical wear over years of daily operation.
Easy Installation & Maintenance
The Schneider UnicaX 2 Gang 2 Way switch fits standard local wall back-boxes, making it ideal for both new-build projects and retrofitting existing homes. The durable jet black finish requires minimal upkeep—simply wipe down with a microfibre cloth to retain its matte-metallic sheen.

Q1: What is the difference between a 1-way and 2-way switch in Malaysia?
A: A 1-way switch controls a light fitting from a single location. A 2-way switch (like the Schneider UnicaX NUX32_2_JB) allows you to control the same light fixture from two different locations, such as the top and bottom of a staircase or both sides of a bedroom door.
Q2: What does "16AX" rating mean on the Schneider UnicaX switch?
A: The 16AX rating indicates the switch can handle up to 16 Amps of electrical current, specifically rated for inductive fluorescent and LED lighting loads. It prevents electrical arcing and welding inside the switch during high inrush currents.
Q3: Can I use a 2-way switch as a 1-way switch?
A: Yes, a 2-way switch can easily be wired to operate as a 1-way switch by utilizing only the Common (C) and L1 terminals, leaving the L2 terminal unused.
Q4: Is Schneider UnicaX approved for residential installation in Malaysia?
A: Yes. The Schneider UnicaX series carries international IEC 60669-1 certification and meets Malaysian safety guidelines for residential and commercial indoor electrical installations.
Q5: What does "2 Gang" mean for wall switches?
A: "2 Gang" means the wall plate has two separate buttons/rockers, allowing you to control two independent lighting circuits or light bulbs from one single wall socket position.
Q6: What is the IP rating of the Schneider UnicaX NUX32_2_JB switch?
A: It has an IP20 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and is designed strictly for indoor dry areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, and offices.
Q7: Will the Schneider UnicaX Jet Black switch fit in standard switch boxes in Malaysia?
A: Yes, Schneider UnicaX switches are designed according to standard dimensions to fit into standard British/Malaysian flush-mounted wall back-boxes.
