Legrand Niloe Step double illuminated staircase switch 10 AX white 863118

Legrand Niloe Step double illuminated staircase switch 10 AX white 863118 is a two-gang staircase switch designed to control two lighting circuits or to provide two-way switching solutions for staircases, corridors and entryways. The switch features illuminated rockers to make positions visible in low light, and is compatible with surface-mounted or flush-mounted installations when used with the appropriate frame. Rated for 10 AX, it meets typical residential and light-commercial load requirements for incandescent, halogen and compatible LED loads.

Advantages

The double illuminated rockers provide clear status indication in the dark, improving usability and safety in stairwells and corridors. Compact two-gang format allows control of two circuits or two separate switching points from a single module, saving space and simplifying wiring. The white finish integrates with common interior designs, while the robust Legrand construction ensures reliable electrical contacts and long operational life. Installation flexibility allows use in both surface-mounted and flush-mounted frames to suit different installation environments.

Suitable for

• Residential staircases and hallways where visible switch position is needed
• Apartment entryways and communal corridors with two-way lighting control
• Small commercial premises requiring compact two-circuit switching
• Retrofit projects replacing older two-gang switches with illuminated models

Key specifications

• Switch type: double (two-gang) illuminated staircase switch
• Rated current: 10 AX
• Illumination: illuminated rockers for visibility in low light
• Installation: suitable for surface-mounted or flush-mounted installation with compatible frame
• Finish: white

How to use

Mount the switch in a compatible frame or mounting box according to local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Connect live, neutral (where applicable for the illumination) and switched live conductors to the designated terminals while ensuring power is disconnected before wiring. Use the two rockers to operate the two separate circuits or to configure two-way switching with additional remote staircase switches. After wiring, restore power and verify correct operation of both circuits and the rocker illumination.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use with lighting loads within the 10 AX rating and follow Legrand wiring diagrams for two-way staircase installations. If used with LED or low-consumption lamps, ensure compatibility with the switch illumination circuit and consider using compatible neutral or auxiliary components if required. Installation and maintenance should be performed by a qualified electrician.
