Designed by Schneider Electric—a global leader in energy management and automation—the Unica X collection represents the pinnacle of contemporary aesthetic design and high-performance electrical engineering.

3-Gang Independent 1-Way Light Control
Equipped with three sleek electromechanical rockers, this switch allows independent operation of three separate light circuits from a single point. It is the perfect solution for living rooms, master bedrooms, and open-plan kitchen spaces where controlling multiple ambient, task, and accent light zones from a single junction box is required.
Heavy-Duty 16AX Current Rating (Inductive Load Ready)
Unlike standard residential 10A switches, the Schneider UnicaX switch features a robust 16AX 250V (50/60Hz) rating. The 'X' designation highlights its ability to manage high-inrush inductive lighting loads—including high-wattage LED drivers, fluorescent tubes, and compact ballast lighting—without contact welding or premature wear.
Premium Stainless Steel Construction in Dark Bronze
Constructed from high-grade stainless steel with an integrated metallic Dark Bronze finish, the plate resists daily wear, fingerprints, and physical impacts far better than standard plastic switches. The surface finish ensures that the deep bronze tone remains vibrant and resistant to discoloration under indoor environmental conditions.
International Compliance & Safety Standard
Safety is paramount in electrical installations. The NUX33_1_DB is engineered and tested in accordance with IEC 60669-1 standards and carries official IEC product certification. Rated at IP20 degree of protection, it is built specifically for safe indoor flush-mount installation.

Q1: What is the difference between a 1-way and 2-way switch in Malaysia?
A: A 1-way switch controls a light circuit from a single location (e.g., controlling living room lights from one wall switch). A 2-way switch allows you to control the same light fixture from two different locations, such as the top and bottom of a staircase. The Schneider UnicaX NUX33_1_DB is a 1-way switch.
Q2: What does the '16AX' rating mean on the Schneider UnicaX light switch?
A: The '16AX' rating indicates that the switch is rated for 16 Amps and is specifically designed to handle inductive fluorescent and LED light loads, which produce high initial current surges (inrush current), ensuring higher durability than standard 10A switches.
Q3: Can I install the Schneider Unica X 3 gang switch in standard Malaysian back boxes?
A: Yes, the Schneider Unica X series is designed to fit standard flush-mounted electrical mounting boxes commonly installed across residential and commercial properties in Malaysia.
Q4: What does "3 Gang 1 Way" mean for a light switch?
A: "3 Gang" means the switch unit contains three individual switches/rockers on a single faceplate, allowing you to turn three separate lights or light groups on and off independently from one spot. "1 Way" means each light is operated from that switch position only.
Q5: What is the safety rating of the Schneider UnicaX NUX33_1_DB switch?
A: The switch is fully compliant with international safety standard IEC 60669-1, carries IEC certification, and holds an IP20 protection rating for safe indoor residential and commercial use.
Q6: Is the Schneider Unica X series available in other colors besides Dark Bronze?
A:Yes, Schneider Electric offers the Unica X collection in a variety of premium finishes including Jet Black, Stainless Steel, Dark Grey, and Gold/Bronze tones to match diverse interior themes.
Q7: Can I use this 16AX 3 Gang switch to control ceiling fans in Malaysia?
A: Yes, a 16AX switch can easily handle standard ceiling fan power switching; however, to adjust fan speeds, you will still need an appropriate speed regulator or dimmer controller.
Q8: Where can I buy authentic Schneider Unica X switches in Malaysia?
A: Authentic Schneider Unica X switches can be purchased through authorized Schneider Electric distributors, certified electrical suppliers, and official e-commerce stores across Malaysia.
