BG Electrical has introduced GridLite, an innovative clip-in modular switching system designed to make electrical installations faster, simpler, and more flexible
Combining a screwless clip-in design with a unique yoke-free construction, GridLite is the first modular switch range of its kind from BG, allowing installers to build bespoke switch configurations, replace individual modules and adapt installations without changing the entire device.
Developed in response to installer feedback, GridLite offers a more versatile approach to modular switching while maintaining the quality, reliability and aesthetics associated with BG.
Designed for faster installation
At the heart of GridLite is a screwless clip-in system that eliminates the need for fiddly fixing screws, allowing modules to simply push into place. Its innovative yoke-free design also means modules can be installed either way up, giving electricians greater flexibility on site.
Installers can wire modules before fitting the faceplate, helping make installation quicker and more efficient. Engineered for today’s lighting applications, GridLite’s single-width modules are rated at 20A, while standard switch modules fit 16mm back boxes, helping to minimise rework on many installations.
Complete modular flexibility
Unlike traditional modular switching systems, GridLite allows individual modules to be removed and replaced independently, without disturbing adjacent modules.
Whether replacing a damaged switch, upgrading functionality or adapting an installation to changing customer requirements, electricians can modify individual modules without replacing the complete device.
The range includes standard, intermediate and retractive switches, key switches, touch dimmers, blank modules and USB-C charging modules, enabling installers to create bespoke configurations for a wide variety of applications.
The compact single-module touch dimmer occupies the same footprint as a standard switch, while up to three modules can be installed on a single square plate, creating neat, space-saving installations without compromising functionality.
One versatile platform across the BG range
GridLite integrates seamlessly across BG’s established wiring accessory ranges, including White Moulded, Nexus Metal, Flatplate Screwless, Evolve, Metal Clad and Part M.
Using a common modular platform across multiple finishes allows installers to deliver consistent switching solutions throughout a project, while giving customers the flexibility to select a finish that complements their application.
The modular approach also benefits wholesalers and contractors by simplifying product selection and reducing stockholding. Rather than carrying multiple finished switch combinations, installers can stock core modules and configure installations as required.
Commenting on the launch, Dogan Dogan, Product Manager – Wiring Accessories at BG, says,
“GridLite has been developed by listening to what installers want from a modular switching system. They told us they wanted a solution that is quicker to install, easier to adapt and flexible enough to suit a wide range of applications.”
With its innovative clip-in construction, flexible module configurations and compatibility across BG’s established ranges, GridLite offers a practical solution for domestic, commercial and specification projects alike.
