Ospel ŁP-4Y/m/50 anthracite is a wall-mounted electrical switch designed for controlling lighting and simple AC loads in residential and commercial environments. The switch is built for usage with 250 V AC mains and supports a nominal output current of 16 A. Its compact footprint of 71×71×40 mm matches standard flush mounting dimensions and the IP20 rating makes it suitable for indoor installations where basic protection against solid objects is required. The anthracite finish provides a neutral, modern appearance that integrates with a variety of interior styles.

Advantages

The switch features screwless clamps for quicker and cleaner wiring, reducing installation time and minimizing the need for additional tools. Rated at 16 A and 250 V, it accommodates typical lighting circuits and small appliance loads within its electrical limits. Its compact form factor and standardized mounting dimensions ensure compatibility with common flush boxes and faceplates. The IP20 protection class provides acceptable resistance to accidental contact and small foreign objects in indoor settings.

How to use

Before installation, switch off power at the distribution board and verify absence of voltage. Wire the switch according to the local wiring regulations, connecting the live conductor to the input terminal and the switched conductor to the output terminal using the screwless clamps. Ensure conductors are stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the clamp for secure contact. After wiring, mount the device into a compatible flush box and attach the frame or cover plate. Restore power and test the switch operation to confirm correct installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this switch only for indoor applications where IP20 protection is sufficient. Do not expose the device to moisture, direct water contact, or outdoor conditions. Verify that the connected load does not exceed the 16 A rating and that circuit protection (fuse or breaker) is properly sized. For installations in wet or more demanding environments, choose a device with a higher ingress protection rating. If unsure about wiring or local code requirements, consult a qualified electrician.
