Switch connector Legrand Niloe Step 10A candle-holder style, black (model 863505B)

Legrand Niloe Step 10A candle-holder style switch connector in black is an inline mechanical switch designed for direct control of lighting circuits requiring up to 10 amps. The compact, cylindrical form suits installations where a discreet, in-line switching point is needed between a fixture and its supply. The connector is intended to be mounted along the cable run and offers a simple on/off control without altering the fixture or wall wiring layout.

Advantages

This switch connector provides compact inline control with a small footprint and a candle-holder style shape that blends with pendant and table lamp cords. Its mechanical design requires no configuration or external power, offering immediate on/off switching and compatibility with standard 10 A lighting circuits. The black finish reduces visual contrast in dark interiors and the robust housing is suitable for regular domestic and light commercial use.
