The Schneider Electric AvatarOn 16AX 2-way switch with LED indicator allows you to control the same light source from two separate locations, such as at opposite ends of a hallway or the top and bottom of a staircase. It features a blue LED indicator to help you locate the switch in the dark. This is an official Hong Kong product, priced at HK$65, and is ideal for home hallways, staircases, and bedrooms.
Product Introduction
A 2-way switch (commonly known as a 3-way switch) is a standard configuration in home electrical design: by installing a switch at each end, you can turn the same light on or off from either side of a hallway or from the top or bottom of a staircase, eliminating the need to walk back in the dark. This Schneider Electric AvatarOn 16AX 2-way switch is part of the AvatarOn series, featuring a frameless, large-panel design that is minimalist and stylish, complementing various home decor styles.
Key Features
Firstly, the 2-way design allows independent control of a single light group from two points, making it particularly practical for hallways and staircases. Secondly, it includes a built-in blue LED indicator—the LED lights up when the switch is in the "off" position, making it easy to find in the dark, which is convenient for both the elderly and children. Regarding the panel, the signature frameless, large-surface design of the AvatarOn series provides a wide pressing area and a smooth tactile feel. Color options include White, Rose Gold, Dark Grey, and Wood, allowing you to match the switches to your wall and furniture tones.

Suitable Scenarios
The most typical application is installing one at each end of a hallway, allowing you to control the same lights upon entry and exit. Similarly, installing one at the top and bottom of a staircase ensures you can toggle the lights before and after climbing. Many users also install one at the bedroom door and another by the bedside, so they don't have to leave the bed to turn off the lights at night. Paired with the LED indicator, it is easy to find the switch even when getting up at night, making it a highly practical detail for Hong Kong home renovations and Smart Home setups.
FAQ
How does a 2-way switch work? Do I need to buy two?
Yes, a 2-way setup means installing one switch at each end. When combined with the appropriate 2-way wiring, both sides can independently turn the same light on or off. For hallways or staircases, remember to order two switches, one for each end.
Does the AvatarOn 2-way switch have an LED indicator? Can I find it in the dark?
This model includes a blue LED indicator. The LED glows when the switch is in the "off" position, making it easy to locate the switch in the dark, so you don't have to grope around when coming home at night or getting up in the middle of the night.
