This switch features an integrated LED backlight, ensuring the device remains visible in low-light conditions or total darkness. Finished in a sophisticated matte white, it integrates seamlessly into modern interior designs, providing both functional utility and aesthetic appeal for residential and commercial spaces.

Advantages

This staircase switch offers significant benefits through its robust construction and user-friendly design. The inclusion of an LED backlight provides clear orientation in dark hallways or stairwells, enhancing safety and convenience. The quick-connect terminal system significantly reduces installation time, allowing for secure and efficient wiring without the need for complex tools. Its durable materials ensure long-term performance, while the matte finish is resistant to fingerprints and minor surface wear, maintaining a clean appearance over time.

Suitable for

• Controlling lighting in staircases from two different points
• Hallways and corridors requiring multi-point light control
• Residential homes and apartments
• Commercial office spaces and public buildings

When it may not be suitable

This switch is specifically designed for staircase (two-way) configurations and may not be suitable for complex multi-point switching systems involving more than two locations without additional intermediate switches. It is intended for standard 250V electrical installations and should not be used in industrial environments with high-voltage or high-current requirements exceeding its rated capacity.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 10 AX
• Rated voltage: 250V
• Connection type: Quick connect terminals
• Backlight: Integrated LED
• Color: Matte white
• Series: Kontakt-Simon 55

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local safety regulations. First, ensure the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Connect the wires to the quick-connect terminals according to the wiring diagram for a staircase circuit. Once the wires are securely seated, mount the switch module into the wall box and attach the frame. After installation, restore power and test the switch to ensure the light toggles correctly from both locations and the LED backlight functions as intended.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing electrical wiring supports a two-way staircase configuration
• Ensure the switch is compatible with your current wall box dimensions
• Check that the 10 AX rating is sufficient for your lighting load
• Confirm the matte white finish matches your existing interior hardware

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that the total load of the connected lighting fixtures does not exceed the 10 AX rating of the switch. Regularly inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage or loose connections to maintain reliable operation.
