About the Tesla SW1V Vertical Light Switch

The Tesla Classic Series covers both horizontal and vertical plate formats across the full 1 to 6 gang switch range. The SW1V is the vertical format 1 gang switch — the plate is oriented in portrait (taller than wide), with the rocker running in the vertical plane. This is the correct format for vertical plate installations where the wall position calls for a taller, narrower plate rather than the standard horizontal format.

The vertical format uses the same mechanism, the same 84mm mounting centres, and the same electrical specifications as the horizontal SW1 — the only difference is the plate orientation. Both are 16A 250V, single pole, single way, and comply with AS/NZS 3133. No special brackets are required — the SW1V mounts to a standard wall bracket or wall box using the same fixing arrangement as the horizontal version.

The Tesla Classic Series vertical switch range covers SW1V through SW6V — 1 to 6 gang in vertical format. The horizontal range covers SW1 through SW6. Both ranges share the same mechanism and specifications throughout.

Q: What is the difference between SW1V (vertical) and SW1 (horizontal)?
A: Both are 1 gang 16A 250V single pole light switches from the Tesla Classic Series with the same mechanism and 84mm mounting centres. The SW1 is the horizontal format — the plate is wider than tall (74mm H × 116mm W). The SW1V is the vertical format — the plate is taller than wide (116mm L × 74mm W). Choose based on the plate orientation required for the wall position.

Q: Can the SW1V be used with a standard wall bracket?
A: Yes — the SW1V uses standard 84mm mounting centres and requires no special brackets, fitting the same standard wall brackets and boxes as all Tesla Classic Series switches.

Q: What cable size does the SW1V suit?
A: Terminals suit 4 × 1.5mm² cable — standard for single pole lighting circuit switching.
