Elevate Your Space with Schneider UnicaX Design Aesthetics
The modern interior design landscape in Malaysia demands electrical accessories that complement premium architecture. The Schneider Unica X Series delivers a ultra-sleek, minimalist form factor designed to merge seamlessly into modern plaster, wooden, or tiled surfaces. Finished in a sophisticated Dark Grey (Tint Code: DG), this 2-rocker wall switch replaces traditional bright white switches with an elegant metallic tone. Built using high-impact, durable stainless steel material, the surface resists everyday wear, discoloration, and fingerprints, keeping your walls looking pristine over years of daily use.
Advanced Multi-Way Lighting Control (2 Gang Intermediate Functionality)
Standard 1-way and 2-way switches are limited to controlling lights from one or two locations. The Schneider UnicaX NUX32_IM_DG 2 Gang Intermediate Switch acts as a crucial electrical bridge when you need control from three or more points. Featuring two independent intermediate rockers in a single flush plate, this unit lets you control two separate lighting circuits independently. Common Malaysian Residential & Commercial Applications:
- Staircases & Multi-Level Homes: Turn ground floor and upper-floor lights on or off from landing areas, bedrooms, or main entrances.
- Master Bedrooms: Control main room lights from the door entry as well as both sides of the bed without installing extra bulky panels.
- Long Hallways & Corridors: Ideal for shoplots, hotels, condo hallways, and large living rooms requiring multi-access switching.
Industrial-Grade 16AX Electrical Performance
Underneath its stylish exterior, the NUX32_IM_DG model is engineered for safety and power efficiency. Rated for 16AX at 250V AC (50/60Hz), it handles inductive light loads comfortably, preventing contact weld issues commonly seen with high-inrush current fixtures like LED drivers, fluorescent tubes, and high-wattage residential lighting grids. The electromechanical switching technology ensures a firm, crisp tactile feel with minimal electric arc formation.
Certified Safety & Easy Installation for Malaysian Homes
Designed for standard flush-mount wall boxes, the Schneider UnicaX intermediate switch fits typical Malaysian electrical backboxes effortlessly. Certified under global standard IEC 60669-1 and regional TIS 824-2551 specifications, it features an IP20 protection rating, ensuring safe indoor operation against solid particles. Whether you are an electrical technician conducting a new wiring setup or a homeowner upgrading old switches, the intuitive wiring terminals make installation straightforward and secure.
