Light switch Kanlux 33498 — ABS housing, IP54, 72 mm width, 250 V AC

Kanlux 33498 is a single-pole light switch designed for mains AC installations with a rated voltage of 250 V. The device has an ABS housing that provides mechanical protection while keeping the unit lightweight. With an IP54 ingress protection rating and a width of 72 mm, this switch is intended for indoor and semi-outdoor locations where protection against dust and water splashes is required. The compact form factor and 92 g weight make it suitable for standard wall mounting in residential and commercial spaces.

Advantages

The ABS enclosure offers stable mechanical strength and electrical insulation while keeping production tolerances consistent. IP54 protection ensures reliable operation in environments with occasional moisture or airborne dust, reducing the risk of ingress-related failures. The 72 mm width aligns with common installation modules, enabling straightforward replacement or integration into existing switch panels. Its simple single-switch function provides a clear, user-friendly control point for lighting circuits at 250 V AC.

Suitable for

• Standard indoor lighting control in homes, offices and retail spaces
• Semi-outdoor locations such as covered porches or utility rooms where splash resistance is needed
• Replacement of existing single-pole switches with similar external dimensions
• Basic lighting circuits operating at 250 V AC

Key specifications

• Housing material: ABS plastic
• Ingress protection: IP54 (protection against dust and splashing water)
• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Width: 72 mm
• Weight: 92 g
• Actuation: single switch (single-pole operation)

How to use

Install the Kanlux 33498 switch in accordance with local electrical codes and safety practices. Before installation, cut power at the circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized. Mount the switch in a compatible flush box or surface enclosure that accommodates a 72 mm wide module, secure wiring to the switch terminals following polarity and grounding requirements, then fasten the unit to the mounting surface. Restore power and test the switch operation by toggling the actuator to confirm correct switching of the lighting circuit at 250 V AC.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged reliable operation, avoid direct exposure to heavy rainfall or immersion; use the switch in covered or protected semi-outdoor locations only. Ensure terminal connections are tightened to manufacturer-specified torque values and inspect periodically for signs of wear or moisture ingress. If installing in environments with higher humidity or frequent water exposure, select a device with a higher IP rating.
