Junon 1 Gang Switch
The Junon Wooden Cherry Switch provides a robust solution for multi-point lighting control in residential and commercial electrical systems. This specific model features a single-gang configuration designed for two-way operation. It allows electrical engineers to implement circuits where a single light source requires control from two separate locations. The internal mechanism utilizes high-conductivity silver alloy contacts to ensure reliable electrical continuity. These contacts effectively reduce the risk of arcing during high-frequency operation. The switch supports a 10AX inductive load rating, making it suitable for modern LED lighting arrays and fluorescent ballasts. Standard 10A switches often struggle with the high inrush currents associated with electronic drivers. This unit maintains operational integrity under those specific load profiles.
Key Features
-
Silver Alloy Contact Points
The internal switching mechanism uses silver-nickel alloy to prevent contact welding and minimize resistance during circuit engagement. -
Flame Retardant Housing
The rear chassis consists of high-impact polycarbonate material that resists thermal deformation and prevents the spread of fire. -
2-Way Circuit Compatibility
- Supports standard Common, L1, and L2 terminal wiring configurations.
- Enables lighting control from multiple entry points in corridors or large rooms.
-
Large Terminal Apertures
The brass screw terminals accommodate multiple 1.5mm or 2.5mm conductors to facilitate efficient ring or radial circuit looping.

The cherry finish is very smart and looks premium on the wall. I used this for my corridor since it’s a 2-way switch and I needed to control the light from both ends. It feels sturdy when clicking, not like those cheap plastics you find in some local hardware shops. Good value for the price.

Delivered to Nakuru very fast. The switch works perfectly for our staircase lights. Happy with the purchase.

I was looking for something that doesn’t look like the standard white switches everyone has in Nairobi. This Junon wood series fits the bill perfectly for a residential master bedroom project. The 10AX rating is standard for lighting, and the internal mechanism is quite reliable. My fundi had no issues with the wiring. I only wish the mounting screws provided were a bit longer for some of the deeper boxes, but the switch itself is excellent.

The wood finish is actually a bit darker than what I saw in the photo, but it still blends well with my mahogany door frames. The switching action is smooth for a 2-way setup. It’s a decent upgrade if you’re tired of plain plastic.

Very classy look for our new office in Westlands. We replaced the old white ones with these Junon cherry switches and the difference is clear. Highly recommend for anyone doing a renovation.
