Clipsal Iconic Light Switch

G'day! For too long, the humble light switch has been the boring, forgotten bit of plastic on the wall. You spend a fortune on the perfect paint colour and stylish decor, only to have a chunky, dated switch let down the whole look.

But in a modern Aussie reno, every detail counts. That’s why so many homeowners and designers are turning to the Clipsal Iconic light switch. It’s a game-changing product that turns a simple utility into a genuine design statement.

What's the Go with the Clipsal Iconic Light Switch?

The Clipsal Iconic light switch is the flagship switch from Clipsal's premium, modular Iconic range. It was designed from the ground up to offer a perfect blend of unmatched style, clever flexibility, and future-proof functionality for contemporary Australian homes.

It’s not just a switch to turn your lights on and off; it's a sophisticated, sleek, and customisable part of your home's decor.

The Game-Changing Features You'll Love

The Iconic range is packed with clever ideas, but here are the features that make their light switches a cut above the rest.

Style That You Can Change: The Clip-On Skins

This is the brilliant feature that everyone loves. A qualified professional installs the main electrical switch mechanism. After that, the outer coloured cover, known as the "skin," simply clips on and off.

This is a fair dinkum revolution for interior design. If you decide to repaint your living room in a few years, there's no need to call an installer back. You can just buy new skins in a colour that matches your new wall, and clip them on yourself in seconds. It’s the ultimate in design flexibility.

A Sleek, Minimalist Design

Forget the chunky, rounded switches of the past. The Clipsal Iconic light switch boasts a super slim profile that sits almost flush to the wall, with clean lines and a beautiful matte finish. This understated, architectural feel is a perfect match for modern, minimalist, and Scandi-style interiors.

Ready for a Smart Home Future

The Iconic range is cleverly designed to be future-proof. You can start with a standard, reliable push-button switch today. Later on, if you decide to dip your toes into smart home technology, you can have a professional upgrade the mechanism behind the wall to a Clipsal Wiser smart module. This turns your beautiful switch into a smart switch you can control with an app or your voice, without changing its stylish look.

Clever Details for Everyday Use

The range also includes thoughtful touches like optional LED indicators that glow softly so you can easily find the switch in the dark. You can also get handy pictogram icons to label each switch, so you'll never again forget which one is for the fan and which is for the patio light.

A Quick Word on Installation: Pro's Job Only

This is the most critical part. While popping the skins on and off is a simple and safe DIY task, the actual installation of a Clipsal Iconic light switch is a job for a professional, full stop.

In Australia, any work on your home's fixed wiring must be carried out by a licensed electrician. A qualified professional will ensure the switch is installed safely, works correctly, and complies with all national standards, which is crucial for your safety and home insurance.
