Clipsal Iconic switches are Australia's award-winning modular electrical range featuring tool-free changeable skins, pre-mounted screws, and translucent edges across four distinct styles. Available in 1-6 gang configurations with smart home integration including USB charging, LED indicators, Bluetooth connectivity, and Wiser app control. The range includes complete switches, mechanisms, dimmers, timers, and custom upgrade options in over 15 colours and finishes to suit modern Australian homes.
What Makes Clipsal Iconic Switches Different?
Clipsal Iconic switches revolutionise Australian electrical installations with tool-free, changeable skins that transform switch aesthetics without the need for an electrician, modular mechanisms that support smart home upgrades, and pre-mounted screws that reduce installation time by 40%.
Traditional light switches require complete replacement to change colour or style, creating unnecessary labour costs and wall damage. Clipsal Iconic solves this problem with a revolutionary modular design that lets covers clip on and off without tools, allowing homeowners to refresh room aesthetics as interior design trends evolve.
Tool-Free Changeable Skins
Swap colours and finishes after installation without removing wallpaper or repainting. Covers click into place over existing mechanisms, transforming from white to black or plastic to timber in seconds.
Pre-Mounted Screws
Screws arrive pre-mounted in grid plates, eliminating fumbling in ceiling cavities and reducing installation time. Electricians save 2-3 minutes per switch point compared to traditional installations.
Translucent Edge Detail
Distinctive translucent rim creates a modern floating appearance whilst allowing subtle backlighting from LED mechanisms. The design element distinguishes Iconic from standard switches across rooms.
Protective Flaps on Power Points
Spring-loaded safety shutters prevent foreign objects from entering socket holes, exceeding Australian safety standards whilst keeping dust and particles out during renovations and construction.
Modular Mechanism System
Clipsal 40 Series mechanisms click into Iconic grid plates, supporting upgrades from basic switches to dimmers, timers, USB chargers, or smart switches without changing visible components.
Compatible Design
New Iconic skins fit over existing 40 Series mechanisms, allowing aesthetic updates without rewiring or replacing functional components behind the wall.
Why Electricians Prefer Iconic
Pre-mounted screws, consistent grid spacing, and large terminal mechanisms reduce installation errors and callbacks. The modular design means electricians can install basic mechanisms during first fix, then upgrade to smart switches should a customer want to smarten up their property.

Key Features and Smart Upgrades of Clipsal Iconic Switches
Clipsal Iconic Switch mechanisms include USB charging (USBA, USBC, fast charge options), optional warm white LED indicators or locators, pictogram identification across 30+ applications, multi-way switching via ControlLink or Bluetooth, and full Wiser smart home integration.
USB Charging Integration
Integrated USB charging mechanisms eliminate bulky plug packs whilst providing faster charging than standard 1A adapters. Options include single USBA 2.1A, dual USBA 2.1A, USBC fast charge up to 3A, and combination USBA+C configurations supporting simultaneous device charging.
LED Indicators and Locators
Optional warm white LEDs 40MLEDW serve dual purposes: as indicators showing which switches are active, or as locators making switches easy to find in darkened rooms. The subtle glow doesn't disturb sleep whilst providing orientation in hallways and bedrooms.
Indicator mode: LED illuminates when the circuit is energised, confirming power status from across the room
Locator mode: LED glows when the circuit is off, creating a subtle light in dark spaces
Pictogram Identification
Over 30 pictogram options replace generic rocker switches with clearly-identified controls. Icons include ceiling fans, exhaust fans, outdoor lights, garage doors, blinds, heating, cooling, and room-specific symbols, ensuring family members always activate the correct circuit.
Pictogram dollies are available separately and click directly onto Iconic mechanisms. Order pictograms to match installed switch functions.
ControlLink Multi-Way Switching
ControlLink technology enables multi-way control of lighting groups without complex three-way wiring. Program multiple switches to control the same lights via simple configuration, allowing control from the bedroom, hallway, and staircase without additional cabling.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Bluetooth-enabled mechanisms connect directly to smartphones via the Wiser Room app, providing remote control, dimming, and timer functions without requiring a Wiser Hub. Each room operates independently, perfect for rental properties or stage-by-stage smart home adoption.
Configuration is Simple
Download the Wiser Room app, bring your phone within Bluetooth range of the switch, follow on-screen pairing instructions, then control lights remotely or set automation schedules. No electrician required for app configuration.
Smart Home Integration with Wiser
Clipsal Iconic integrates with Schneider Electric's Wiser smart home system, providing smartphone control, voice activation via Google Assistant and Alexa, scheduling automation, energy monitoring, and integration with other Wiser devices, including sensors and controllers.
Wiser Connected Switches
Wiser Iconic Connected switches replace standard mechanisms whilst maintaining an identical appearance. Once installed, they communicate with the Wiser Hub via Zigbee wireless protocol, enabling remote control from anywhere via the Wiser by SE smartphone app.
What You Can Control
Lighting Control: On/off switching, dimming levels, colour temperature adjustment for compatible LED fittings
Scheduling: Programme lights to turn on before arrival home, simulate occupancy during holidays
Scenes: Create lighting scenes for entertaining, movie watching, or bedtime routines
Energy Monitoring: Track energy consumption per circuit, identify high-use appliances
Voice Control: "OK Google, turn off downstairs lights" or "Alexa, dim bedroom to 30%"
Smart Dimmers and Blinds: Automatically activate dimmers and blinds with optional controllers
Wiser System Components
Wiser Hub: Central controller connecting to home Wi-Fi router, communicating with up to 50 Wiser devices
Wiser Switches: Replace standard Iconic mechanisms, communicate via Zigbee protocol
Wiser Sensors: Motion, temperature, and door/window sensors trigger automation
Wiser App: iOS and Android apps provide configuration and control interfaces
Google Home Compatibility
Wiser integrates with the Google Home ecosystem through the Google Home app. Add Wiser devices to Google Home routines, control lights via Google Assistant voice commands, and incorporate lighting into broader smart home automation, including thermostats, security cameras, and entertainment systems.
Standard Iconic switches without Wiser connectivity do not support direct Google Home integration. Bluetooth-enabled switches offer limited smartphone control via the Wiser Room app but require the Wiser Hub for full Google Home functionality.
