Full Description:
Elevate your interior lighting layout with the Schneider Unica X Series 16AX 250V 4 Gang 2 Way Switch with LED Indicator in Dark Bronze (NUX34_2N_DB). Formulated for multi-room automation and high-end residential interiors, the Unica X series bridges modern aesthetic design with professional-grade electrical engineering. Featuring four smooth electromechanical rockers and integrated subtle LED indicators, this flush-mounting unit allows effortless location of light switches in darkened rooms while maintaining a luxury visual aesthetic.
Premium Stainless Steel Construction in Dark Bronze
Crafted with high-grade stainless steel material, the Unica X plate provides superior resistance against daily wear, fingerprints, and surface tarnishing. The rich Dark Bronze colour tint adds a sophisticated aesthetic to modern homes, luxury condos, hotel suites, and executive offices.
Dual-Control 4-Gang 2-Way Functionality
Featuring four individual electromechanical rockers, this switch allows control over four separate lighting circuits or fixture zones from one single wall plate. Designed with 2-way circuit capability, each rocker can be wired alongside a second switch location. This is ideal for managing large spaces such as long hallways, open-plan living areas, dual-entrance master bedrooms, and multi-level stairwells.
Heavy-Duty 16AX Capacity for Modern LED Loads
Standard residential wall switches are typically rated at 10AX. The Schneider Unica X series features a high-grade 16AX rating at 250V AC (50/60Hz). Modern LED lighting systems and driver transformers generate strong inrush current surges when switched on. The 16AX capacity protects the internal contacts from arcing or premature wear, ensuring long-term operational lifespan even when switching high-capacity LED arrays or fluorescent drivers.
Integrated LED Indicators
Equipped with built-in LED indicators, each gang provides soft illumination. This functional design feature ensures switches are easily localized in dark or unlit conditions without interrupting room aesthetics or creating harsh light pollution.
Safety & Standard Certifications
Built to strictly comply with IEC 60669-1 international electrical safety standards and certified under standard IEC guidelines. Rated IP20 for protection against solid particles greater than 12.5mm, this switch is designed for indoor dry applications and provides full safety against accidental shock during routine operation.

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 wall location. A 2-way switch allows you to control the same light fixture from two distinct physical locations—such as controlling a hallway light from both the top and bottom of a stairwell.
Q2: What does "16AX" mean on a Schneider switch plate?
A:"16AX" denotes a 16-ampere inductive load rating designed to handle high electrical surges. Unlike standard 10AX switches, 16AX switches are specifically engineered to withstand the strong inrush current generated by modern LED lighting arrays, electronic drivers, and fluorescent ballast circuits without contact welding.
Q3: What is a 4-gang 2-way switch used for?
A: A 4-gang 2-way switch combines four separate light switches onto one wall panel, where each switch can operate independently in a dual-control (2-way) wiring arrangement. It is commonly used in large living rooms, master bedrooms, and multi-entrance spaces where control over multiple lighting zones is required.
Q4: Why should I choose the Schneider Unica X Dark Bronze switch for my house?
A: The Schneider Unica X Dark Bronze switch combines luxury stainless steel construction with an ultra-slim flush profile. It provides high load handling (16AX), integrated LED position indicators, and full compliance with local Malaysian electrical standards (250V AC).
Q5: Does the Schneider Unica X NUX34_2N_DB switch come with an LED indicator?
A: Yes, the Schneider Unica X model NUX34_2N_DB features integrated LED location indicators on each gang to help users locate the switch plate in the dark.
Q6: What size backbox is needed for a Schneider Unica X flush switch?
A: The Schneider Unica X flush series fits standard 86mm x 86mm single-gang concealed mounting boxes (flush metal or PVC backboxes) common in Malaysian residential properties.
Q7: Is Schneider Electric Unica X certified for use in Malaysia?
A: Yes, Schneider Unica X products carry international IEC 60669-1 certification and meet the 250V 50/60Hz voltage and frequency standards enforced by Suruhanjaya Tenaga (Energy Commission Malaysia).
Q8: Does a 4-gang light switch require extra wiring behind the wall?
A: Yes, a 4-gang switch requires wiring for four separate lighting circuits. When wired in a 2-way setup, additional 3-core traveler wires are needed between the primary switch plate and the secondary switch plate location.
