Staircase switch BMW6L.01/12 with illuminated Basic module beige

Staircase switch – reliable lighting control

This staircase switch with backlight is an element of the Simon Basic modular system, designed for flush mounting. It allows convenient control of lighting from two different locations, which is particularly useful in hallways, on stairs or in long rooms. Its beige color and glossy finish make it blend well with various interior arrangements.

Functionality and installation

The switch is characterized by quick-connect terminals, which significantly facilitate and speed up installation. Flush mounting provides an aesthetic appearance and minimizes the visibility of wires. The switching current for fluorescent lamps is 10A, and the installation depth is 24 mm – these dimensions allow for trouble-free adaptation to standard installation boxes. The construction based on a basic element with a central protective plate ensures stability and ease of replacement if necessary.

Advantages for the installer and user

• Quick installation: Quick connectors allow for rapid connection of wires, saving time during installation.
• Versatility: Fits standard flush-mount boxes, making it easy to replace existing switches.
• Convenience: Backlight makes it easier to locate the switch in the dark, increasing comfort.
• Safety: Made of high-quality, halogen-free PC plastic, ensuring safe use and minimizing the emission of harmful substances in the event of a fire.
• Aesthetics: The beige color and glossy finish of the switch fit into modern design trends.
• Modularity: Belongs to the Simon Basic system, allowing the installation to be expanded with additional functions (sockets, regulators, etc.).
• Durability: Robust construction guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• C Characteristic: Allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, therefore it tolerates starting devices with a motor well.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning the protrusions based on the metal bridge, which help maintain the vertical or horizontal alignment of multiple sets and facilitate the attachment of modules in multiple frames – this is particularly important when creating larger electrical installations. The use of a metal frame mount to the bridge presses it against the wall, hiding imperfections in the installation boxes, ensuring quick and secure mounting.
