        National Light Sources | Adaptable Enclosure Box 300mm x 300mm x 150mm | IP65 Polycarbonate

        The NLS 30636 is a wall-mount adaptable enclosure box rated IP65, constructed from polycarbonate with overall dimensions of 300mm (H) x 300mm (W) x 150mm (D). The 30636 is designed for surface installation on internal walls and is finished in grey, providing a neutral appearance on residential and commercial installations. It complies with AS/NZS standards for electrical enclosure housings and is suitable for general-purpose distribution and control applications in dry, protected indoor environments.

        Adaptable boxes serve as the foundation for distributing power and control circuits in residential and light commercial installations. The 30636 provides a compact, modular enclosure that allows tradies to fit din rail, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and other control devices after install, rather than pre-assembling on site. IP65 weatherproof sealing keeps dust and water splashes out of internal wiring and terminals, reducing the risk of short circuits and service callbacks. Polycarbonate construction is impact-resistant and lighter than metal boxes, making the 30636 easier to handle and install on single-stud or stud-and-nogging runs.

        Licensed electricians specify the NLS 30636 for its flexibility and durability on the job. The adaptable design means no need to prefab the box before wall installation — drill the cavity, run the cables, fix the box, then populate it with the customer's circuit configuration. Grey finish blends on most interior walls, avoiding the visual bulk of white or cream boxes in lounge rooms and bedrooms. The compact 150mm depth works on standard wall framing without demanding a deep cavity chase, which cuts labour and remedial plastering. Robust polycarbonate resists UV and minor physical damage on active job sites, reducing warranty claims for cracked or yellowed boxes.

        Features

        • Adaptable interior — designed for post-install population with din rail, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and other control devices, allowing tradies to configure the box to the customer's load requirements rather than pre-assembling on site.
        • IP65 rating — sealed against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, protecting internal terminals and wiring from environmental contamination and reducing short-circuit risk in damp-adjacent areas like bathrooms and laundries.
        • Polycarbonate construction — impact-resistant material lighter than mild steel or aluminium boxes, easier to carry and install, and resistant to UV yellowing and cracking on prolonged outdoor storage or exposed job sites.
        • Compact 150mm depth — fits standard wall cavities without requiring deep cavity chase or extensive remedial plastering, reducing labour time and material cost on new builds and renovations.
        • Surface wall-mount design — screws directly to blockwork, plasterboard, or timber studs using the four corner mounting lugs, with no requirement for flush-mount backing frames or deep cavity boxes.
        • Grey finish — neutral colour blends on internal walls in residential lounge, bedrooms, and hallways, avoiding visual bulk of white boxes in designer colour schemes.
        • 300mm x 300mm footprint — provides adequate internal real estate for small to medium circuit distributions (up to 12–15 standard MCBs depending on din rail selection), typical on domestic extensions and small commercial sub-boards.
        • Removable knock-out blanks — top, bottom, and side entry points accept punch-out openings or pre-drilled cable glands, allowing flexibility for vertical or horizontal cable runs without forced entry or damage.
        • Standard Australian mounting height — 300mm width and grey finish suit the standard 1.4–1.8m aesthetic height for domestic enclosures in renovations and new builds.
        • No earth bar or neutral bar included — interior is bare polycarbonate; all terminal infrastructure (din rail, blocks, breakers) must be specified and installed by the electrician, supporting full configuration control and budget flexibility.

        Where to use

        • Domestic extensions and new builds — the NLS 30636 is specified as a distribution box in single-level extensions, second bathrooms, and new granny flats where a compact, surface-mount solution avoids deep cavity work and remedial plastering.
        • Light commercial sub-boards — small retail, office, and professional rooms with distributed power circuits to multiple zones use the 30636 as a compact secondary distribution point, feeding separate circuits for lighting, power, and climate control.
        • Renovation and retrofit installations — the 30636 fits on existing wall studs in bathroom and laundry renovations without demanding cavity enlargement, cutting labour and keeping structural work to a minimum.
        • External garden sheds and outbuildings — installed inside under eaves, the 30636 handles mains distribution to multiple shed circuits, with IP65 sealing protecting internal terminals from condensation and moisture ingress.
        • Data and telecommunications cabinets — the 30636 houses power distribution, surge protection, and control devices feeding network switches, phone systems, and security equipment in small commercial installations.
        • Hot water and climate control zones — split-system air conditioning, heat pump, and hot water installations use the 30636 as a localized control point, distributing 240V and 32A circuits to zone controllers and auxiliary devices.

        The NLS 30636 is not suitable for outdoor exposed installations or permanently wet environments. Do not install the 30636 on external walls subject to rain or full-sun exposure, or in wet areas like pool plant rooms or outdoor sub-boards without additional weatherproof enclosure. The polycarbonate material and standard gasket are designed for interior use only and will degrade under prolonged UV and moisture cycling.

        (30636)

        An adaptable box is a hollow enclosure that houses circuit distribution components (din rail, circuit breakers, terminal blocks) installed after the box is mounted on the wall. A standard switchboard is pre-assembled with all components fitted before delivery. The adaptable design lets tradies configure the 30636 to the customer's load requirements on site, avoiding pre-fab waste and last-minute specification changes.

        Installation and circuit wiring of the 30636 must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The box mounts to the wall with four corner screws, but wiring, circuit protection, and terminal configuration are electrical work and must comply with AS/NZS 3000 and local wiring rules.

        The 30636 can hold approximately 12–15 standard MCBs (single-module breakers) depending on the din rail profile and terminal block arrangement. For larger distributions, a 400mm or 500mm wide box (other NLS models) offers greater capacity. Consult the circuit load and breaker footprint before specifying.

        The 30636 is rated IP65 and can be installed inside bathrooms and laundries, where it is protected from splash zones (countertop, shower area) and condensation by indoor placement under eaves or in roof spaces. Do not install the 30636 in permanently wet locations, outdoor sub-boards, or direct UV exposure. The polycarbonate material and standard gasket are designed for interior protected use only.

        The 30636 is designed for surface wall-mount using the four corner mounting lugs and screw fixings into blockwork, timber studs, or metal track. Recessed or flush-mount adaptations are not supported; the polycarbonate body and cable entry knockouts are configured for surface installation only.

        National Light Sources provides a one-year manufacturer warranty on the 30636 covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship (cracks, internal shorts, gasket failure). The warranty does not cover physical damage from installation, misuse, UV exposure, or water ingress from use in unsuitable locations. Warranty claims are handled through Sparky Direct or direct to NLS.

        The 30636 is a fixed-size enclosure and cannot be expanded internally. If the customer's load grows beyond the 12–15 MCB capacity, a separate larger box (400mm or 500mm model) should be specified as a secondary sub-board downstream. Modifications to the box itself (cutting, extending) void the warranty and compromise IP65 sealing.

        The National Light Sources 30636 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
