Clipsal Iconic power points are modular outlets with interchangeable covers [ Read More ]
Clipsal Iconic power points are modular outlets with interchangeable covers, USB charging, and smart connectivity. Available in 10+ finishes with Wiser Smart Home integration for app control, voice commands, scheduling, and remote operation.
Clipsal Iconic power points feature modular design with clip-on changeable covers (Skins), allowing homeowners to update their aesthetic without rewiring, whilst maintaining superior build quality with 10-amp rating, 3 large screw terminals for secure connections, and compliance with AS/NZS 3112 Australian standards.
The Iconic Collection is a fresh take on electrical accessories, made for today's Australian homes. Instead of the old setup where the power point and cover are fixed together, Iconic uses a smart grid plate system. Electricians install the mechanism once, and after that, homeowners can swap the decorative covers whenever they like. No tools or electrical work needed.
Iconic power points help electricians work faster thanks to pre-assembled mechanisms that snap straight into grid plates. The 16mm wire-stripping length fits standard Australian cables, and the large screw terminals make fitting off straightforward. Every unit meets AS/NZS 3112 standards, so electricians can install with full confidence in safety and compliance.
There are four Iconic collections offering over 10 colour and finish options. The classic Iconic range comes in 5 colours. The sleek Styl series features 3 metallic finishes. The Essence range adds natural warmth with timber edges in 2 tones. For tough conditions, the Outdoor series is weatherproof and available in black and white.
Modern Clean Design for Every Home
The base Iconic range offers a timeless look with 5 matte colour options: Solid White, Vivid White, Cool Grey, Anthracite, and Solid Black. These finishes work in all kinds of Australian homes, from coastal retreats to modern city apartments.
Best for: General residential installations, rental properties, spec homes, and budget-conscious renovations requiring reliable quality without premium pricing.
Metallic Finishes for Premium Spaces
Styl elevates spaces with sophisticated metallic finishes in Silver, Crowne (champagne gold), and Silver Shadow (gunmetal). The lustrous surfaces add tactile quality whilst maintaining Iconic's functional excellence and smart home compatibility.
Best for: High-end residential projects, luxury apartments, boutique hotels, upmarket retail spaces, and design-focused renovations where aesthetic detail matters.
Contact Sparky Direct for Styl series availability and pricing.
Natural Warmth with Rounded Timber Edges
Essence brings organic warmth through rounded wooden edge details available in Arctic White and Ash Grey. The natural timber trim softens the electrical accessories, creating a welcoming aesthetic for Scandi or coastal interiors.
Best for: Eco-conscious homes, coastal properties, Scandinavian-inspired interiors, and spaces emphasising natural materials and textures.
Contact Sparky Direct for Essence series availability and pricing.
Weatherproof Protection for Australian Conditions
Purpose-built for Australian weather with IP66 rating providing dustproof and water-resistant protection. Available in white and black, the Outdoor range handles coastal salt air, UV exposure, and severe weather whilst maintaining smart connectivity.

Introducing Clipsal Iconic, Clipsal by Schneider Electric's range of switches and sockets.
Iconic power points integrate USB charging without sacrificing traditional 3-pin outlets, addressing the growing demand for device charging in modern Australian homes.
Iconic power points connect via Bluetooth Low Energy for basic smart control within range, or integrate with the Wiser Smart Home hub for remote access, scheduling, energy monitoring, and voice control from anywhere using the Wiser by SE smartphone app.
Smart connectivity transforms Iconic power points from simple outlets into intelligent energy management devices. Two levels of connectivity suit different needs and budgets.
Basic smart functionality requires no additional equipment. Clipsal Iconic 3025CSG Double Power Point models connect directly to smartphones via Bluetooth Low Energy using the free Wiser by SE app.
Bluetooth control only works within the power point's wireless range. You cannot control devices remotely when away from home. For remote access and advanced automation, upgrade to the Wiser Smart Home system.
Clipsal Iconic 3025CSGZ Zigbee Enabled Double Power Point models connect to the Wiser Smart Home hub, enabling remote access from anywhere in Australia or overseas.
Requires a Wiser Smart Home hub (purchased separately), a reliable Wi-Fi network, and compatible Iconic smart switches and power points. The hub supports up to 100 devices, making it suitable for whole-house automation in typical Australian homes.
No special wiring or structural modifications are required, making the Wiser system suitable for both new builds and retrofit installations. Add devices gradually as budget allows, expanding smart functionality room by room.
Iconic power points support extensive customisation, including 10+ colour finishes, USB charging integration, LED indicator lighting, pictogram icons, night walk sensors, and interchangeable covers that homeowners can swap without electrical qualifications.
The defining feature of Iconic power points is the ability to change decorative covers without rewiring. Grid plates and mechanisms install once by electricians, then covers clip on and off by homeowners.
Custom pictogram icons clip into switch mechanisms, providing clear identification for specific circuits. Suited to multi-switch installations controlling different zones or equipment.
| Icon Category | Available Options | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Room Identification | Bed 1, Bed 2, Bed 3, Bed 4, Lounge, Dining, Study, Family | Multi-zone lighting control panels, whole-house automation |
| Appliance Control | Cooker, Microwave, Fridge, Fan, Sensor, Air Conditioner | Kitchen appliance switches, bathroom exhaust fans, HVAC control |
| Lighting Functions | Light, Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Up, Down | Living area lighting zones, staircase lighting control |
| Status Indicators | On, Off, Auto, Manual, On/Off, Auto/Manual, Blank | Equipment status indication, mode selection switches |
| Power Ratings | 32A indicator icons | Identifying higher-rated circuits for cooking appliances |
Icons clip directly into switch mechanisms during or after installation. Electricians typically install blank mechanisms and add pictograms once the client confirms each circuit's purpose. Icons can be swapped at any time without tools if the circuit's purpose changes during construction or renovations.
Clipsal provides a free digital configurator tool to help homeowners and electricians plan Iconic installations room by room, visualise finishes against wall colours, and generate complete parts lists.

Upgraded all my power points inside after painting and these add a nice touch
Good gpo's, useful interchangeable covers, excellent price from Sparkie Direct. Only small downside, sometimes the cover isn't exactly lined up with the contacts. Seems to sort itself out after a few plug inserts.
My partner and I have bought two big orders now from Sparky Direct and both times our packages arrived very quickly and we received all the correct items. Sparky direct have been a great company to go thought for any electrical needs. We love the Clipsal Iconic range! Looks so beautiful in our newly renovated home. Highly recommend.

Browse Complete Range → Get Expert Advice →A Clipsal Iconic double power point with an extra switch can be a practical choice for a bathroom where you also need local control of an exhaust fan, provided the installation location complies with AS/NZS 3000. This type of configuration allows you to power small bathroom appliances while also switching the fan from the same plate footprint. Your electrician will confirm the correct model and location for the installation.
The dual USB-A model provides two USB-A ports with a shared charging output and is suited to older devices and accessories that still use the traditional USB-A connector. The USB-A plus USB-C model includes both connector types and supports faster charging on compatible USB-C devices. If your household uses newer phones, tablets, or accessories with USB-C, the USB-A plus USB-C option is the more future-friendly choice.
No, using the USB ports does not affect the normal operation of the standard 10-amp GPO outlets on the same power point. The USB charging circuitry operates separately from the mains outlet section, so both can be used at the same time under normal conditions.
Yes, Clipsal offers Iconic charging shelf products designed for kitchen benches and home office installations that provide multiple USB ports. Depending on the specific model, these may include USB-A and USB-C combinations. They are a practical option where several devices need charging without occupying standard GPO outlets.
Yes, Clipsal Iconic power points include integrated safety shutters as a standard feature. The shutters block access to the live contacts unless a compliant plug is inserted correctly. Safety shutters are required under current Australian standards for socket outlets, including AS/NZS 3112, and Clipsal Iconic power points are designed to comply with these requirements.
Standard Clipsal Iconic power points are suitable for bathroom and laundry installations when installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000. In bathrooms, power points must be positioned outside the defined electrical zones specified in the Wiring Rules. A licensed electrician will assess the correct placement for your bathroom. For areas directly exposed to weather or water, an appropriately rated weatherproof product is required instead.
Standard Clipsal Iconic power points are rated at 10 amps at 250V AC, which is the standard rating for general purpose outlets in Australian homes. A 10-amp outlet can supply approximately 2400 watts based on a 240V supply, which is sufficient for most household appliances such as televisions, computers, chargers, lamps, fans, and small kitchen appliances. High-draw appliances such as ovens, large air conditioners, clothes dryers, and EV chargers require dedicated circuits and higher-rated outlets where applicable.
Clipsal Iconic double power point covers are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. The standard Iconic range includes Vivid White, Solid White, Cool Grey, Anthracite, and Solid Black. The Styl series adds metallic finishes such as Silver, Crowne, and Silver Shadow. The Essence collection offers timber-accented options including Arctic White and Ash Grey. Cover skins are sold separately, allowing you to update the appearance without replacing the electrical mechanism.
Yes, Clipsal Iconic cover skins are sold separately. This is one of the key features of the Iconic system, the decorative cover and the electrical mechanism are separate components. You can purchase replacement or upgraded covers without buying a new mechanism, making it a cost-effective way to refresh the look of your power points after painting or renovating.
The Clipsal Iconic Styl range includes metallic-look finishes suited to both dark and warm-toned interiors. Crowne provides a champagne-style metallic finish, while Silver Shadow offers a darker gunmetal-style appearance. Silver is also available as a lighter metallic option. These finishes give a more premium look than the standard plastic covers.
Yes, custom engraved Clipsal Iconic power points are available for applications where labelling is useful or where a more personalised finish is desired. They are commonly used in home theatres, multi-zone installations, and commercial fit-outs where circuits or functions need to be clearly identified.
Clipsal Iconic Essence covers feature timber-accent styling rather than a flat printed timber pattern. They are designed to provide a warmer, more natural look compared with standard plastic covers and are visually distinct from the standard Iconic and Styl finishes. For exact material construction, it is best to confirm the current product specification for the specific Essence cover being purchased.
No, Clipsal Iconic covers are designed specifically for Clipsal Iconic mechanisms and are not compatible with older Clipsal Classic, 2000 Series, or other legacy ranges. If you want to use Iconic covers, the underlying mechanism must also be part of the Iconic system.
The Clipsal Iconic USB-C model provides up to 25W charging, which is suitable for fast charging many modern smartphones and some tablets. It may charge smaller USB-C laptops, including some MacBook Air models, at a reduced rate, but it is generally not sufficient for full-speed charging of larger laptops such as MacBook Pro models that typically require higher wattage. For higher-powered laptop charging, a dedicated USB-C wall charger with higher output is the better choice.
For a bedroom bedside installation, a Clipsal Iconic double power point with USB charging is often the most practical choice. It provides standard outlets for lamps or other appliances, plus USB charging for phones and tablets without requiring separate chargers. If your household uses newer USB-C devices, a model with USB-C charging is the better option. For added convenience, the Night Walk version can also be useful in bedrooms or ensuites where low-level lighting is helpful at night.
For alfresco and covered patio areas, the Clipsal Iconic Outdoor range is the correct choice. These power points carry an IP66 weatherproof rating, making them suitable for outdoor environments subject to dust, rain, and wash-down conditions. Standard indoor Iconic power points are not rated for outdoor use and must not be installed in exposed or weather-affected locations.
For a garage or workshop, a standard Clipsal Iconic double power point is a practical option for general use, while quad outlet arrangements or multiple outlets may be more suitable where several tools or chargers are used in one area. If smart control or energy monitoring is needed, a compatible connected model may also be considered, depending on the application and product features. Your electrician can advise on the best outlet arrangement for the intended load and layout.
Yes, Clipsal Iconic power points are suitable for commercial office fit-outs. USB-equipped models are commonly used at workstations, meeting rooms, and breakout areas where device charging is useful. The Styl range can also suit more design-focused spaces such as reception areas or client-facing rooms. Connected models may be used where smart control or automation forms part of the overall installation design.
For a home theatre or entertainment room, the best option depends on the layout and how the space will be used. A Night Walk model can be a useful option for low-level navigation lighting, while USB-equipped models are practical for charging remotes, tablets, or accessories near the seating area. In darker-themed rooms, finishes such as Anthracite or Solid Black are often chosen to better suit the interior design.
The Clipsal Iconic Night Walk is a double power point with a built-in motion-activated LED nightlight. It detects movement and low ambient light conditions, then automatically activates a soft LED light within the power point cover. This provides gentle illumination for safe navigation in low-light areas without needing to switch on the main lights. It is suited to locations such as hallways, bedrooms, ensuites, and media rooms. The standard power outlets continue to function independently of the nightlight.
No, the Clipsal Iconic Night Walk installs in much the same way as a standard Iconic double power point and does not require separate low-voltage wiring or batteries. It uses the normal active, neutral, and earth connections required for a standard outlet, with the nightlight and sensor powered internally from the mains supply.
Yes, Sparky Direct offers competitive pricing on Clipsal Iconic power points without requiring a trade account. Customers can purchase online directly, and licensed electricians may also be able to participate in relevant Clipsal trade or rewards programs where applicable.

For the exact warranty period and claim process, refer to the product page on the Sparky Direct website and the documentation supplied with the product.
Both Clipsal Iconic and Clipsal Saturn Zen are premium ranges from Clipsal by Schneider Electric, but they target different aesthetics and budgets. Iconic is a modular system with interchangeable clip-on covers available across the standard Iconic range, metallic Styl series, and timber-accented Essence collection. Saturn Zen features a sleek, frameless glass-look design with a more architectural appearance suited to high-end residential and commercial fit-outs. Saturn Zen is generally priced higher, while Iconic offers greater flexibility through its cover-swapping system. Both ranges offer USB charging options, and smart home functionality is available via compatible mechanisms within each range. The right choice depends on your design preference and budget. Iconic for versatility, Saturn Zen for a premium frameless look.
The range includes clip-on modular skins, durable mechanisms, safety shutters, and options such as double outlets and built-in USB charging. You’ll get a clean, modern look that’s easy to wipe down and keep tidy. The modular design also makes future style updates simple for your electrician. Clipsal Iconic is a practical system that balances looks, strength, and everyday convenience.
If you're updating your kitchen in Australia and want a Clipsal power point with USB, there are plenty of solid choices. The best one for you depends on what matters most—like fast charging, style, safety or future-ready features. Below, we'll break down what to look for, compare top Clipsal models, and help you pick the right one for your needs.
Setting up a home office in Australia? If you're looking to include Clipsal power points with built-in USB ports, there are some great models to consider. Here’s what you can expect in terms of features, reliability and price.
Here are the main differences between Clipsal USB Double PowerPoints (USB‑enabled powerpoints) and standard Clipsal GPOs (general purpose outlets) in Australia.
What is a Standard GPO (Clipsal / AS/NZS 3112)
A standard Clipsal GPO is a regular power outlet—either switched or unswitched—that supplies mains electricity (240 V AC at 50 Hz). It includes active, neutral and earth pins, and is usually rated at 10 A, which is common for home and office use. These outlets are built to comply with Australian and New Zealand standards (AS/NZS 3112).
What is a USB PowerPoint
A Clipsal USB PowerPoint is a power outlet with built-in USB charging ports—either USB-A, USB-C, or both. These USB ports provide low-voltage DC power (usually 5 V) for charging devices like phones and tablets, so you don’t need a separate USB wall charger.
Yes. The modular skin system lets anyone change colours or finishes without disturbing the wiring behind the plate. This keeps the electrical work safe while refreshing the look in minutes. It’s a smart way to update rooms after painting or a renovation.
Sparky Direct sells genuine Clipsal gear, offers the lowest transparent prices, and delivers fast across Australia. You’ll get fast, reliable service and clear product info to help you choose well. Their team can guide you to the right model for your space and budget. It’s a simple, safe way to upgrade your outlets with trusted brands.

Clipsal Iconic power points come in single, double, and quad configurations to suit different installation needs. The single power point (3015VW) has one 10-amp outlet and a compact width, making it ideal for tight spaces, laundries, and single-appliance locations. The double power point (3025VW) is the most common configuration, offering two 10-amp outlets in the standard plate footprint used across most Australian homes. Quad power points provide four outlets on a single plate and are suited to entertainment units, home offices, and workshop benches where multiple appliances need power from one location. All configurations use the same Iconic plate and skin system, so interchangeable cover skins can be used across the range where the matching mechanism is installed.
Yes, Clipsal Iconic power points are compatible with the standard TPS wiring used in Australian homes. The mechanisms accept a 16mm wire-stripping length and connect via large screw terminals, which suit both older and newer cable types. Because the Iconic system replaces the entire mechanism, there is generally no need to modify existing wiring or wall boxes in most cases, provided the existing installation is compliant and in good condition. If you are replacing older Clipsal Classic or 2000 Series outlets, the existing wall box dimensions are often compatible. A licensed electrician can confirm compatibility during installation.
Yes, Clipsal Iconic power points are equally suited to new builds and renovations. In new builds, electricians install the grid plates during the rough-in stage and clip the cover skins on after painting is complete, protecting the mechanism during construction. In renovations, Iconic power points can often replace existing outlets without requiring changes to the wall box or wiring, provided the installation is suitable. The modular skin system is particularly popular in renovations because homeowners can update the cover colour to match new paint or cabinetry without involving an electrician.
Yes, Clipsal Iconic mechanisms are designed to fit standard Australian wall boxes, including standard Australian flush boxes, commonly 30mm to 47mm deep, depending on the installation. The double power point mechanism measures 120mm x 78mm x 32mm, which aligns with standard plate dimensions across the industry. For surface mount installations on tiles or masonry, suitable mounting accessories such as wall boxes, mounting blocks, or enclosures may be required, along with appropriate mounting screws. If you are replacing an older plate, your electrician will confirm the wall box depth before installation.
Clipsal Iconic and Clipsal Classic are two separate product families with different designs and features. The Classic range uses a traditional fixed-cover design where the mechanism and cover are a single unit, meaning any aesthetic change requires replacing the entire outlet. Iconic uses a modular grid plate system where the mechanism installs permanently and the decorative cover clips on and off without tools, allowing homeowners to change finishes without electrical work. Iconic also offers options such as USB charging, smart home compatibility via the Wiser system, LED night walk sensors, and multiple cover finishes across the Iconic, Styl, and Essence ranges. Classic power points offer a more straightforward, budget-friendly option for standard installations where advanced features are not required.
Yes. Clipsal Iconic Power Points are designed and tested to meet Australian standards for socket outlets, so you’re buying gear that’s built for local conditions. Sparky Direct supplies genuine Clipsal products from approved channels, giving you confidence in quality and compliance. When installed by a licensed electrician, they’re safe to use and covered by the manufacturer’s support.
Clipsal Iconic power points are available in a wide range of colours and finishes across multiple collections. The standard Iconic range includes Vivid White, Solid White, Cool Grey, Anthracite, and Solid Black. The Styl series adds metallic finishes such as Silver, Crowne, and Silver Shadow. The Essence collection features timber-accented covers in Arctic White and Ash Grey. The Outdoor range is also available in selected colours, including white and black. All cover skins are sold separately at Sparky Direct, so you can mix and match finishes throughout your home without replacing the mechanisms.
All three are part of the Clipsal Iconic family and share the same modular mechanism, only the decorative cover skin differs. The standard Iconic range uses smooth matte plastic covers in neutral colours and is the most widely used option for everyday residential and commercial installations. Iconic Styl covers feature a metallic finish designed for premium spaces where the power point is part of the interior design statement. Iconic Essence covers have timber-accented edges that bring a natural warmth to the outlet. Because all three use the same underlying mechanism, you can start with standard Iconic covers and upgrade to Styl or Essence later without rewiring.
Clipsal Iconic Outdoor power points are designed for outdoor use, including coastal environments, but the level of protection depends on the IP rating of the specific model.
For example, IP54-rated products are protected against dust and splashing water, making them suitable for general outdoor areas such as covered verandahs and walls. They are not designed for direct water jets or constant exposure to heavy rain.
Near pools, installation is strictly governed by AS/NZS 3000 zoning requirements. Power points can only be installed in permitted zones and must be positioned appropriately.
All installations must comply with Australian standards and be carried out by a licensed electrician.
Yes. In Australia, all electrical wiring work, including installing or replacing power points, must be carried out by a licensed electrician. This is a legal requirement under the applicable electrical safety laws in each state and territory, including Queensland. Attempting to install or replace a power point yourself is illegal and dangerous, and may void your home insurance. The only task a homeowner can generally perform is swapping the decorative cover skin on an already-installed Iconic mechanism, as this does not involve touching any wiring. Sparky Direct sells Clipsal Iconic power points to both licensed electricians and homeowners purchasing products for their electrician to install.
Clipsal Iconic power points require a wire stripping length of 16mm. This length is designed to suit standard Australian TPS cable and helps ensure a secure connection at the screw terminals inside the mechanism. The 16mm stripping length is consistent across the Iconic range, which helps electricians work efficiently during installation. Using the correct stripping length is important for maintaining a reliable electrical connection and meeting AS/NZS 3000 requirements.
Clipsal Iconic power points are designed primarily for flush mount installation into a standard Australian wall box. For surface-mount installations on tiles, masonry, or other hard surfaces where chasing is not practical, suitable mounting accessories, such as a wall box, mounting block, or enclosure, are typically required. Clipsal 355A mounting screws may also be used in conjunction with the correct mounting method. Your electrician will advise on the most suitable approach for your specific installation.
Yes, Clipsal Iconic power points can be installed in both vertical and horizontal orientations, depending on the mechanism and mounting arrangement used. Horizontal mounting is common in kitchen bench installations and home office setups where power points are mounted under overhead cabinets or along benchtops. Sparky Direct stocks accessories such as the Clipsal 3155H4 Iconic Bracket Quad Socket Horizontal Mount for suitable horizontal quad configurations. Your electrician will confirm the correct orientation and accessories for your specific installation.
For installing Clipsal Iconic power points on tiles or masonry, you will typically need appropriate mounting hardware such as Clipsal 355A mounting screws, along with a suitable wall box, mounting block, or enclosure depending on the surface. Additional accessories such as wall plugs or plaster brackets may also be required depending on the wall material. Your electrician will select the correct combination of accessories for the installation method.
Standard Clipsal Iconic power points connect via active, neutral, and earth wires, which is the standard wiring configuration for Australian power points. Smart models such as Bluetooth and Zigbee connected outlets also require a neutral wire for their smart functionality. This means they do not require additional wiring modifications in installations where a neutral is already present at the outlet. Your licensed electrician will confirm the wiring requirements for your specific property.
The Clipsal Iconic modular system allows multiple mechanisms such as power points, switches, USB chargers, dimmers, and other accessories to be combined within the same plate system, depending on the specific product configuration. For example, a double power point with an extra switch combines two 10-amp outlets with an additional switch on a single plate footprint. Pictogram icons can also be added to identify switch functions clearly.
Clipsal Iconic USB power points are available in different charging configurations. The dual USB-A model provides a combined output of 2.1 amps shared across both USB-A ports, which is suitable for charging smartphones and tablets. The USB-A plus USB-C model includes a USB-C port capable of up to 25W charging, depending on load conditions, alongside a standard USB-A port. Some Iconic charging shelf products also provide multiple USB ports and are suited to kitchen benches and home offices where several devices need charging. All USB power point models retain standard 10-amp outlet functionality.
