G'day! When it comes to a high-end reno, it's often the little details that really elevate a space from 'good' to 'great'. It’s the thoughtful touches that make a home more intuitive and easier to live in. One of the best examples of this is the clever Clipsal Iconic LED feature.

This isn't a type of light bulb, but rather a small, integrated light that adds a whole lot of smarts and sophistication to your switches and powerpoints. Let's take a look at what it is and how it works.

What's the Go with the Clipsal Iconic LED?

First up, a Clipsal Iconic LED isn't a main light source. It refers to the small, optional LED indicators that can be fitted by a professional into the Clipsal Iconic range of switches, dimmers, and even some powerpoints.

This tiny light is a true multi-tasker, designed to be configured in one of two incredibly handy ways.

Two Clever Functions in One Tiny Light

Your installer can set up the LED to perform one of two key functions, depending on what you need for that particular switch.

1. The Locator: Find Your Switch in the Dark

Ever fumbled along a wall in the pitch black, trying to find the light switch for the bathroom or hallway? The locator function solves that.

When set up as a 'locator', the Clipsal Iconic LED provides a soft, gentle glow when the switch is OFF. This means you can easily spot it in the dark without it being bright enough to disturb your sleep. It's a fair dinkum brilliant feature for bedrooms, hallways, and guest rooms.

2. The Indicator: Know What's On at a Glance

Ever left the garage light, the heated towel rail, or the outdoor patio lights on all day by mistake? The indicator function is your saviour.

When set up as an 'indicator', the Clipsal Iconic LED is on when the switch is ON. This gives you a clear, visual confirmation that a remote or out-of-sight appliance is currently running. It’s perfect for saving power and for peace of mind.

Don't Forget the GPO Night Light

The Iconic range also uses this LED technology in another clever way: the GPO (powerpoint) with a night light. This feature provides a gentle, downward-facing halo of light from the powerpoint itself, perfect for safely navigating a dark hallway or a child's bedroom at night without the need for a separate, clunky plug-in night light.

Installation: A Job for a Qualified Professional

This is the most crucial part. Adding an LED indicator or installing any Clipsal Iconic product involves working with your home's 240V wiring. This is absolutely not a DIY job in Australia.

This work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. A qualified professional can correctly and safely install the switch and configure the Clipsal Iconic LED to work as either a locator or an indicator, ensuring the entire installation is compliant with Australian standards.
