The Dark Grey colour tint provides a contemporary, smudge-resistant finish that pairs effortlessly with modern minimalist, industrial, or Scandinavian-inspired home styling.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction
Unlike conventional plastic switches that yellow or degrade over time, the Schneider Unica X NUX32_1N_DG features a high-grade stainless steel metal plate construction. This structural integrity ensures long-lasting operation, scratch resistance, and easy maintenance. Mounted flush to the wall, its slim profile seamlessly integrates with various wall textures, including plaster, stone, wood paneling, and concrete.
Integrated Soft LED Location Indicator
Never grope in the dark for a light switch again. The NUX32_1N_DG model comes equipped with a built-in LED indicator on the switch faceplate. The discrete LED marker subtle illuminates when the switch is OFF, allowing occupants to locate the switch in pitch-black rooms, hallways, and bedrooms without disturbing night vision or consuming excess power.
High Performance 16AX Rating for Heavy LED Loads
Modern electrical installations across Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and throughout Malaysia rely heavily on LED lighting, electronic ballasts, and high-capacity drivers. These fixtures often generate high inrush currents upon start-up, which can weld or damage standard 10A light switches.The Schneider UnicaX NUX32_1N_DG features a 16AX inductive load rating operating at 250V AC (50/60Hz). This heavy-duty current rating guarantees that the dual electromechanical switch mechanisms can handle inductive and LED loads smoothly without contact arcing, flickering, or premature switch failure.
Dual-Gang Independent Lighting Control
Featuring 2 independent switch rockers on a single standard wall plate, this 2 Gang 1 Way switch lets you control two separate lighting circuits from one centralized flush box location. It is the ideal solution for controlling:
- Living room main ceiling lights and accent cove lighting independently.
- Bedroom overhead downlights and bed-side reading fixtures.
- Office task lighting and ambient panel lights.
Certified Electrical Safety Standards
Safety is non-negotiable for modern electrical wiring devices. The Schneider UnicaX NUX32_1N_DG is fully certified under IEC 60669-1 standards and carries official IEC certification. Built with fire-retardant thermoplastics and an IP20 protection rating, it safeguards homes and commercial properties against internal electrical tracking and accidental contact with live electrical components.
