Surface-Mounted Switches and Sockets (Black)
"Loft" and industrial interior styles are unimaginable without exposed electrical wiring. Black cables placed in tasteful metal or corrugated pipes and ending with black, matte surface-mounted switches give the room an expensive, brutal, and unique character. However, cheap black switches often leave greasy fingerprints, reflect light, or are made of thin plastic that cannot withstand daily stress. The VIDEX black surface-mounted series is a masterpiece of engineering and design that offers the aesthetics of premium brands and "Anti-Fingerprint" technology, completely freeing you from the brand tax.
Your interior and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) benefits:
- Exclusive matte finish: The "Soft-Touch" black coating not only looks sophisticated against brick, concrete, or wooden walls, but also prevents the appearance of fingerprints. Sockets and switches will always look visually clean, reducing cleaning time.
- Safe and solid architecture: Thick, fireproof, and self-extinguishing polycarbonate (PC) ensures the rigidity of the body. Even when pulling out the plug of a powerful vacuum cleaner or tools forcefully, the socket box will not detach from the wall or break.
- Protection against sparking: Exposed installation demands outstanding contact reliability. Phosphor bronze terminals and silver-plated switch contacts extinguish the electric arc and guarantee a quiet, soft click thousands of times, protecting you from the risk of fire.

Q: Why is the matte black finish (RAL 9005) widely integrated into surface-mounted Loft or wooden designs?
Q: How does the Anti-Fingerprint coating maintain the aesthetics of the black surface-mounted series in work areas?
Q: How do VIDEX black polycarbonate cores withstand ultraviolet radiation in direct sunlight?
Q: How does a 16A nominal load ensure the longevity of a double black surface-mounted socket?
Q: What are the limits of the IP20 protection class in exposed installations?
A: The black tone creates a rigid architectural contrast on log cabins, OSB boards, brick walls, or concrete plasters. Exposed installation cables in black corrugated tubes, along with these housings, serve as an expressive decorative element rather than a technical defect to be hidden.
Q: How does the Anti-Fingerprint coating maintain the aesthetics of the black surface-mounted series in work areas?
A: The matte micro-texture refracts light and prevents the imprints of finger grease, oils, and dust from settling into the material's pores. This eliminates the need to constantly clean switches in garages, warehouses, or workshops, ensuring an absolutely clean appearance in daily operation.
Q: How do VIDEX black polycarbonate cores withstand ultraviolet radiation in direct sunlight?
A: The color pigment is molecularly integrated into the polycarbonate structure and contains stabilizing UV protective additives. This engineering composition physically prevents the material from fading, cracking, or forming visual defects, even in rooms that continuously heat up under large roof glazing or on terraces.
Q: How does a 16A nominal load ensure the longevity of a double black surface-mounted socket?
A: An integrated massive double contact group mechanism ensures that both sockets (Line OUT) safely transfer 3680W of current through a single 2.5 mm² phase input (Line IN). Low contact resistance keeps the contacts cool even when an industrial vacuum cleaner and a heat gun are connected simultaneously.
Q: What are the limits of the IP20 protection class in exposed installations?
A: The IP20 standard blocks solid particles over 12.5 mm in diameter from entering the housing, protecting against finger access and short circuits with large foreign objects. However, this series does not contain waterproofing gaskets, so it may only be used in dry rooms (offices, attics); for moisture, IP65 must be chosen.
