New range from Clipsal!

blahblah · Mar 01, 2009 12:41 am

also on that note

Clipsal have released a new range to suit the older switches

Standard, 2000 series and classic
essentially a push button mech to replace the rocker type

oh oh oh Aren't they great!!! We are getting them in our new house too!!!.

In WA clipsal has just released a new colour in them...White. The other colour is ocean mist i think....dont quote me.... but its like a bluey coloured glass. The new one is stark white. It looks lovely, but more minamilist and modern.

Hubby works for a wholesaler so we got them cost plus 5% plus gst. cost us just under $1000 for a standard 4x2 house. With our contract builder we just specified...owner to supply switch gear, which cost us nothing. We didnt mention running the nutreal (spelt?!?!)that runs the LED to the builder, we are just paying the sparky cash to do that as he installs them.

They look amazing dont they!

Oh HPM do an amazing range with interchangable covers....like 60 different covers available. really designer. Hubby brought home the Reps briefcase that had all the covers in...boy did I have fun!! If you want to make a statement, check them out. But i wanted something more classic :cry:

We havn't got cbus though, just the standard LED switches.

Hooray for new ideas!!!

hey glitter, yeah they are just fab aren't they!

I was excited to be able to get them in my kitchen, ensuite and bathroom...but as we have our BIL doing all our electricals, have been very prudent with our lightfitting selections, plus mainly he got a great deal (able to get the Saturns for the cost of normal switches :shock:

) we are now getting them right throughtout the home...woot!

We are going for the new white ones....they just look devine

Does anybody know if these are more expensive than the standard switch?

Thanks.

WHITE

hmmmmm

I was wondering why there wasn't white, how ridiculous they bring out black and a GREENISH TINGE which is probably white on clear glass :?:

..... I don't mind the greenish tinge though, but white would look very smart and invisible :roll:

will investigate this further.

Fits into all existing clipsal swiches.
so only Light Switches
and a neutral wire is required for the LED Mechs

and you can buy them as complete switches

They are the listed RRP prices by Clipsal
That is the most someone can expect to pay
Not taking into account discounts, trade discounts or qty discounts

Just posted it up as a reference

Ring you local Electrical Wholesale and ask for a price. Clipsal don't dicount the Saturn Series as much as the normal ranges.

I'm working on my electrical plan now and will be using Saturn's in common areas of the home.
Question being if for say the bedrooms are just ceiling fans with attached downlights I am
thinking I will not beable to use Saturns for this.

Otherwise option would be single gang Saturn for the lights on the fan, and standard plate
for the fan speed controller.

Any other options?

get a 3 gang plate......a fan controller and 2 mechs...simple

the only downside to the saturn range is a intermediate mech

ozzroo · Apr 04, 2009 12:26 am

other downside I have noticed on some of them is the nice shiny satin silver finish
on the button caps can scratch off. Have noticed this in a couple of display homes. But that's also
people picking and whatever.

good pathfinders at night though

Hooray .... I got my first one!

This is what I had:

Love it, love it...can't wait to get mine!...l'm having them all throughout the house

I love the effect it has at night, it does look a bit spooky though, lol hope they don't freak my kiddos out :shock:

Casa2 · Apr 13, 2009 12:43 am

If you mount them vertically, then they should no longer scare small children!!

Ah yes of course!! Thanks Casa

Matt - looks unreal.

Casa - great idea to store away for the meeting with the electrician in the coming weeks.

Dannopower · Apr 13, 2009 10:28 am

They do look awesome, but take your money with you when buying them.

If your after something non C-Bus, but still looks nice, check out the clipsal slimline switches. There neat and suit existing wiring situations, and not to bad on the pocket!
