Legrand Or Clipsal Rocker Switches ?

[ninja3101 0]

I am going to lay electric cables in my house soon. I want to install normal rocker switches with no LED.

So the electrician ask me Clipsal or Legrand switches

In terms of reliable , durability & always got stock for rocker switches.

The electrician told me all my power points either single or double will be installed with normal Clipsal. It is better to get same brand for the switches ?

Any pictures to show ? Which brand will be better ?

for me, i chose Legrand Mallia, champgne gold series. cos i feel that it looks more classy

i use them at areas where it is visible. for eg switches in living, dining, rooms etc.

then for areas where they're concealed, i used the normal MK type. for eg, in tv console, behind fridge, in the store room etc.

coming back to ur question, i believe all switches out there r more or less the same. it all boils down to its design n color availability

rockers are sometimes abit noisy with the click click sound. Maybe u wanna consider something (of coz will be more ex).

Thanks for the reminder that rocker switches are a bit noisy got click click sound. I will take into consideration. The Clipsal zencelo full flat switch will be ideal but it ex.

Anyone knows how the illuminated switch works?

Need to buy the LED separately it seems...!?

Not sure which one you're talking about but i know Clipsal sells a range of switches with LED indicating lights on them. I think they're the NEO series...maybe something else too.

Yep. Buy the switch with window (for Legrand Mallia) and buy the LED (either red or green) separately. 1-gang switch was approx $3+ and the LED was another $2. Do a search for Choo Chiang Marketing, they offered an extremely competitive price which is significantly lower than the competitors (I reckoned that I saved at least 1/3 of the cost buying from them than from other suppliers). Some switches come together with the LED (eg. Clipsal Zencelo) and their price certainly does reflect the fact too.

Personal recommendation for nice looking switches at an extremely reasonable price: Legrand Mallia series. I chose the one in silver.

Let me help you guys out, I just bought an entire houseload of switches and socket points.

Prices from Choo Chiang, Legrand Mallia series (silver):

1-gang switch w/window: $3.00

1-gang 2-way switch w/window: $3.60

2-gang switch w/window: $5.60

3-gang switch w/window: $8.40

single 13A socket: $3.50

SCV: $4.00

water heater: $11.00

Bought one other item from another shop cos CCM didn't have them:

CAT6 RJ45: $16.00

All prices before GST.

Just for comparison, this other shop quoted me:

Locator LED: $3.00

1-gang switch w/window: $4.00

If you're looking for the Clipsal Metro (comes with nice blue LED) series, here's a few prices from CCM:

3-gang switch: $32.00

Hope this helps whoever's on the trail for nicer switches.
