Elevate Modern Malaysian Interiors with Schneider UnicaX Architectural Switches

Upgrade your home or commercial space with the Schneider UnicaX Series 20A 250V 1 Gang 2 Way Double Pole Switch with LED Indicator (Dark Grey - NUX31D20N_2_DG). UnicaX represents Schneider Electric’s flagship ultra-slim switch series, meticulously created to blend seamlessly with contemporary interior architecture. Featuring a sleek, minimalist metallic front plate crafted from high-quality stainless steel and finished in sophisticated dark grey, this switch transforms standard wall controls into luxury design accents. Whether you are renovating a luxury condo in Kuala Lumpur, outfitting an office in Selangor, or building a modern home in Penang, the UnicaX Dark Grey switch brings aesthetic excellence and industrial durability to your electrical installation.   

 

 

Safety is paramount in high-voltage appliance control. The NUX31D20N_2_DG features a Double Pole (2-Pole) switch function, meaning it simultaneously disconnects both Live and Neutral electrical lines when turned off. This complete circuit isolation prevents residual current leakage, protecting your family and equipment against electrical shock—a critical feature for appliances used in damp environments like bathrooms and kitchens.  Furthermore, this model incorporates a 1 Gang 2-Way control layout. Unlike standard 1-way switches, a 2-way switch allows you to control a single high-power device or lighting circuit from two separate switch locations (e.g., controlling a hallway air conditioner or water heater circuit from both the entrance and master bedroom).   
 

Never fumble in the dark again. The switch is equipped with an integrated LED Indicator Light. The subtle glow provides convenient location illumination during nighttime hours, letting you instantly locate the switch in dark corridors, bedrooms, or bathrooms. Additionally, the LED indicator serves as a visual status check to confirm whether power to the connected appliance is active.

 

Unlike standard plastic wall switches that discolor or degrade over time, the Schneider UnicaX Dark Grey switch features a heavy-duty stainless steel plate. The dark grey metallic finish is scratch-resistant, smudge-resistant, and easy to wipe clean. Designed for flush mounting, it fits standard wall backboxes across Malaysia, ensuring a flat, ultra-slim fit against plaster, concrete, wood paneling, or tiled walls.   

 

Built by Schneider Electric—a global leader in energy management and automation—the UnicaX NUX31D20N_2_DG adheres to strict global manufacturing standard IEC 60669-1 and regional TIS 824-2551 safety certifications. Rated at IP20 degree of protection, it is built to resist solid objects and dust ingress, providing reliable, long-lasting performance for over a decade of daily switch operations.

Specification:

Q1: What is the main use of a 20A double pole switch in Malaysia?
A: In Malaysia, a 20A double pole switch is primarily used to control high-power electrical appliances requiring higher current loads, such as instant or storage water heaters, air conditioners, and electric ovens. The double pole mechanism disconnects both the Live and Neutral wires simultaneously, offering complete electrical isolation and superior safety in high-moisture environments like bathrooms and kitchens.

Q2: Why do I need a double pole (DP) switch for my water heater instead of a normal switch?
A: Standard light switches (single pole) only break the Live wire, leaving the Neutral wire connected. A Double Pole (DP) switch cuts off both Live and Neutral conductors at the same time. This prevents any residual current flow to water heater elements, drastically reducing the risk of electric shocks in wet locations.

Q3: Is the Schneider UnicaX Dark Grey switch made of plastic or metal?
A: The Schneider UnicaX NUX31D20N_2_DG switch plate is constructed from premium high-grade stainless steel with a sleek dark grey metallic coating. This metallic build gives it an ultra-slim architectural look and enhanced durability compared to standard PC plastic switches.

Q4: What is the purpose of the LED indicator on the Schneider UnicaX 20A switch?
A: The integrated LED indicator serves two purposes: it acts as a subtle night locator light so you can easily find the switch in complete darkness, and it visually indicates power status, making it easy to confirm if high-wattage appliances like air conditioners or water heaters are turned on.

Q5: Can I replace my existing water heater switch with the Schneider UnicaX NUX31D20N_2_DG?
A: Yes. The Schneider UnicaX 20A double pole switch is designed for standard flush-mount wall boxes used in Malaysia. However, because it involves 20A high-voltage wiring (250V), installation should be performed by a certified Suruhanjaya Tenaga electrical wireman.

Q6: Where can I buy original Schneider UnicaX switches in Malaysia?
A: Authentic Schneider UnicaX switches can be purchased through authorized Schneider Electric distributors in Malaysia, specialized electrical hardware suppliers in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, and official Schneider Electric e-commerce stores on Shopee and Lazada.
