Product Information
Full details
This Legrand Mosaic timer switch is designed for automating stairwell lighting in residential and commercial spaces. Its key benefit is energy efficiency through timed illumination, reducing unnecessary power consumption. A potential caveat is that LED indicator lighting is not included and must be sourced separately. The switch features an adjustable timer from 1 to 20 minutes, a compact 2-module size for flush or surface mounting, and operates on a standard 210-250V supply with an 8A switching capacity. It is suitable for environments requiring IP41 protection.
