Lanx Australis Electrical Range | Shop at Schnap

Lanx Australis is an independent electrical brand carried by more than one Australian wholesaler, and Schnap stocks the range because it spans circuit protection, switchboard hardware, GPOs and cabling accessories at pricing built for high-volume trade jobs. The catalogue also runs into territory most single-brand ranges skip, covering LED lighting and even appliance spare parts like oven elements and stove rings. Here's what's in the range, category by category.

Circuit Breakers (MCB)

Lanx's miniature circuit breaker range covers single, double and triple pole configurations from 6A through to 63A, all C-curve and 6kA rated. That spread means a switchboard upgrade on a small residential job and a heavier commercial rewire can both be stocked from the same range instead of splitting an order across two brands. C-curve breakers handle the inrush current typical of motors, air conditioners and other inductive loads, which covers most of what turns up on an Australian job site.

Appliance Spare Parts

Alongside the electrical range, Lanx stocks a genuinely separate appliance parts range — oven elements, plug-in and wired stove elements, and stove ring and socket hardware. It's an unusual pairing for one supplier, but it means an appliance repair call-out and a switchboard job can both be sourced from the same order instead of running two separate accounts.

RCBO & Residual Current Protection

The RCBO range covers 1P, 1PN and 2P configurations from 10A to 32A, all with 30mA sensitivity and Type A protection, plus higher breaking-capacity 2P options rated to 45kA. RCBOs combine overcurrent and earth leakage protection in a single device, which is standard practice on Australian switchboards where enclosure space is often tight. Several sizes are also available in packs of 12 for board-fit jobs where you're replacing multiple ways at once.

Cable Glands & Bushings

Glands come in both nickel-plated brass and black nylon, in sizes from 12mm through to 63mm, alongside self-locking nylon bushings for cleaning up cable entry points on enclosures. Brass glands with a nickel finish resist corrosion better in exposed or coastal installs, while the nylon range is the more common pick for standard indoor switchboard and enclosure work.

GPO & Power Points

The GPO range covers single and double power points, weatherproof IP53-rated outlets, floor outlets and a specialty RCD-protected outlet, all built around the standard AS/NZS 3112 pin configuration used across Australian homes and job sites. Weatherproof variants have a switched cover, which is the usual requirement for anything mounted outdoors or in a semi-exposed area like a carport or alfresco.

LED Lighting

Lighting covers die-cast floodlights from a 20W ultra-slim option through to 120W, all IP65 rated, plus a dimmable LED downlight and aluminium LED strip channel for cabinetry or shelf lighting. The floodlights lean more toward security and work-area lighting around a property than decorative use, given the IP65 rating and die-cast housing built for outdoor exposure.

Wall Switches & Plates

Wall switches come in 2, 3 and 4-gang configurations, all in white, alongside a blank plate for filling unused switch positions on a board. These are flush-mount plates sized to the switch plate footprint commonly used in Australian wiring, which matters when you're matching into an existing job rather than starting from scratch.

Distribution Boards & DIN Accessories

The distribution board range runs from 8-pole through to 24-pole, all surface-mount and IP40 rated for 230/400V systems, plus a 1m slotted DIN rail for mounting breakers and RCBOs inside the board. Pole count is the main spec that matters here — an 8 or 12-pole board covers a straightforward residential job, while the 18 and 24-pole options leave more room for future circuits on a larger property.

Data & Comms

The data range covers Cat5e and Cat6 keystone jacks — sold individually or in packs of 20 — plus a patch panel punch-down termination tool kit, and TV/satellite wall plates with F-connector and F-to-PAL configurations. It's a smaller slice of the range, but it means a data point or antenna outlet can go on the same order as the switchboard gear for the same job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lanx Australis an Australian brand?

Lanx Australis is distributed through multiple Australian electrical wholesalers rather than being a house brand exclusive to one supplier, and its products are sold and warehoused for the Australian market.

Do Lanx circuit breakers and RCBOs meet Australian electrical standards?

Lanx's circuit protection range is built around the pole counts, amperage ratings and breaking capacities used on Australian switchboards, including 6kA MCBs and 30mA Type A RCBOs. As with any brand, check the compliance markings on the specific unit against AS/NZS 61439 and your local wiring rules before installing on a job that requires sign-off.

What's the difference between Lanx's MCBs and RCBOs?

An MCB protects against overload and short circuit only. An RCBO adds earth leakage protection in the same device, which is why RCBOs are increasingly specified for new circuits and renovations under current wiring rules. Lanx stocks both ranges, so you can size a board with either depending on what the job calls for.

Does Lanx make appliance parts as well as electrical products?

Yes — alongside circuit protection, GPOs and lighting, Lanx also stocks a smaller range of oven elements, stove elements and stove ring hardware. It's an unusual combination for one supplier, but it means an electrician doing appliance repairs on the side isn't sourcing parts from a second account.

What warranty applies to Lanx products through Schnap?

Warranty terms vary by product line, so check the individual product page or ask the Schnap trade team for the specific warranty period before ordering in bulk.
