Building or renovating a home is probably the biggest project you will ever undertake. There are a million decisions to be made; which builder to use, the design, décor, materials, and the list goes on.
And although it’s easy to spend days deliberating over a paint colour or type of flooring, electrical accessories are rarely given the consideration they deserve. This is a shame, because with a little planning and foresight, electrical accessories can add a great deal of comfort, value, convenience and style to your home.
Clipsal is Australia’s leading and most respected brand of electrical accessories. To most people, Clipsal is best known as a manufacturer of safety switches, but these make up just a small part of the range.
As you will discover on the following pages, Clipsal offers an amazing choice of products for inside and outside the home, from switches, light fittings and heaters to complete home automation systems that offer some amazing lifestyle benefits.

The new Eclipse and Slimline Ranges have an incredibly low profi le of just 4mm, making them the thinnest switches and sockets of their kind in the world.

Setting the Standard for over 20 years If the Standard Range looks familiar it is because it was used in thousands of Australian homes in the 1970s and early 80s. Today, the Standard Range includes more products than ever, and is often used when renovating or extending homes of this era.

Switches with the European touchThe Clipsal Matisse Range refl ects the latest European trends which displays a unique style and bold design.
Matisse offers a choice of one, two or three gang switches, with or without in-built neon. The gridplates are compatible with surrounds from the innovative Clipsal 2000 Series too. This means you can create your own combinations using metal or coloured 2000 Series surrounds.

An all time favourite with a little added jazzWith a streamlined bevelled edge and a generally softer appearance, the Prestige Range was considered, for many years, the ultimate in functional design. With its large switch surface of particular benefi t to those with physical or visual impairments, the Prestige switch is now designed with as much emphasis on beautiful form as practical design. This beautiful form is emphasised with the option of adding decorative metal covers.

Leading Lights Lighting is much more than a means of illumination. The right lighting can create moods, highlight architectural features, and add safety and security to a home.
Clipsal offers some of the most advanced lighting products, from dimmers to motion sensors that turn lights on automatically when you enter the room.
The ‘hands-free’ switch What could be more convenient than a light that turns on automatically when you enter a room, and off again when you leave? The Clipsal Infrascan motion sensor is ideal in areas such as stairwells, walk-in-robes and pantries, which are only occupied for a limited time.

In the mood A light dimmer is ideal in rooms that are used for entertaining as it lets you change the mood to suit the occasion. This model is based on the popular Clipsal Standard Range, however dimmers are available in all the popular Clipsal switch styles.

Create highlights with downlights Downlights have become incredibly popular in recent years, and for good reason. Rather than illuminating an entire room, they let you direct light to specifi c areas, such as a kitchen bench-top, dining table, atrium or even a dramatic piece of sculpture or an architectural feature.

Home, Smart Home The home of today must be able to fulfi l a number of diverse roles. At various times, it will be used as an entertainment centre, a cinema, a restaurant, and even an offi ce. And who knows what else further down the track!

AA fresh approach to air Exhaust fans are the most effective way of providing ventilation to kitchens, bathrooms and toilets. Airfl ow and Mistral have a selection of ceiling and wall mounted exhaust fans that will freshen up a room in a fl ash.
The Airfl ow Range also includes ceiling sweep fans, which are an effi cient and economical way of providing year round comfort.
Air fresheners Mistral and Airfl ow have an exhaust fan for any location. There are wall, ceiling and even window mounted fans and kits that include ducting to exhaust air directly outside the home. O'Erre is Airfl ow’s Italian made and designed range of exhaust fans, all attractively designed, durable and with the high-powered motors for which the Italians are famous.
Airfl ow Threesome Fan/Light/Heater Why install a separate fan, light and heater in a bathroom when you can have the whole trio in one handy unit? The Threesome features two heat settings, plus a powerful exhaust fan to quickly remove steam and odours.
Instant Bathroom WarmersRadiant strip heaters remain a popular heating method. This wall mounted model has a fast heating 750 Watt element and a stainless steel refl ector for instant heat. It is ideal for bathrooms and rumpus rooms where it can be safely installed out of the reach of children.
Cool in summer, warm in winter Ceiling sweep fans are still one of the best ways of keeping cool in warm weather, but did you know that reversible fans, such as this one, can also keep you warm in winter?
Heated air, which naturally rises to the ceiling, can be gently swirled back down to where it is needed most.

Safe as houses Electrical safety is a major concern for every homeowner, especially those with children. Clipsal has been at the forefront of electrical safety for many years, and actually pioneered safety switch technology back in the 1970s.
Today, the choice of safety and security products is truly staggering, ensuring the highest level of protection for your home and family.
Just about everyone has heard of the Clipsal Safety Switch, a product that has saved many lives since its introduction in the 1970s. The best known and most popular safety switch is the switchboard-mounted model, which offers protection to every power point in the home. However, many other products offer the same high level of protection against electrocution, including twin power outlets, plug tops, and for safety when working outdoors with power tools, a portable cable reel.

Prevent expensive damage with Clipsal Surge Protectors Powerful surges can cause irreparable damage to the electronic components inside appliances such as computers, televisions and videos. Insurance often does not cover damage caused by surges, so surge protection is essential in every home. Surge protection can be switchboard mounted to protect every appliance in the home, or installed directly at the end of the appliance cord.

Where there’s smoke…Where there’s smoke… It’s not commonly known that the smell of smoke won’t wake you, so make sure you have something that does! The Clipsal Lifesaver Range of Smoke Alarms are mains wired with a battery back-up to ensure top protection. Our new models feature a front loading battery compartment to allow easy battery replacement and servicing.
Outside
Outside favourites Australians love the great outdoors. For much of the year, our lives revolve around it. When planning your outdoor areas, you should consider them as an extension of the indoor living areas, with the same electrical needs, such as power and lighting.
Clipsal offers a range of specialist outdoor electrical products, all designed to work beautifully come rain, hail or shine.
The Weatherprotected Range is always in its element When it comes to taking power to the great outdoors, no product does it more successfully than Clipsal’s Weatherprotected Range. These sockets, switches and timers are designed to withstand cyclonic rain, hail, dust, and the normally devastating effects of the Australian sun. Which makes survival in the average suburban backyard a piece of cake really!
