The range includes Mivan-compatible controls, comfort controls, socket outlets, communication outlets, and cover frames with rounded edges for easy maintenance and LED lighting for improved illumination.

Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has launched its new Miluz Lara range of switches and sockets, the latest smart choice for modern homes and buildings in India, designed with Mivan compatibility.

The range of controls, comfort controls, socket outlets, communication outlets, and cover frames combine elegant design and function with a dew-drop-inspired design, offering a premium finish for homebuilders.

The rounded edges prevent dust and grime from gathering, allowing for easy maintenance, while the edges of the cover plates blend perfectly for a clean exterior. All indicator modules use LED lighting to improve illumination while reducing eye strain, and the lower removal slot is properly covered to maintain a consistent smooth finish during installation.

The Miluz Lara range also offers innovative functions for modern living in two versatile colours: white and anthracite, ensuring seamless integration with any nterior.  Air quality indicators with real-time information empower homeowners to create healthier living spaces, and surge voltage protectors (4KV) protect appliances, such as LED televisions, refrigerators, and laptops, from damage caused by unexpected abrupt voltage surges. Other solutions available within the range include fast-charging USB A+C charging ports and socket adaptors. The homeowner’s safety is central to the design philosophy and is showcased in features like the no-single pin insertion and the use of high-quality, fire-resistant material.

The range is crafted to meet the specifications of the innovative Mivan Aluminum Formwork System, which outlines the framework for the construction of homes in large quantities at faster speed. The new slimline Mivan metal box features adjustable lugs for quicker installation, dual knockout for more flexibility, and is designed with additional robustness to safeguard from sagging under concrete pressure. With its innovative design and adaptability, it addresses the pain points of modern home builders.

All modules within the range, including the fan regulator, are within 33mm, allowing for ease of installation in 40mm boxes. While the raised volcanic curve provides ample space behind the switch for durability, it also provides an extra 2 mm of free wiring.

Sumati Sahgal, Vice President, Retail, Schneider Electric, Greater India, said, “Homebuilders seek products with innovative design, adaptability, and those that can help improve time to market with optimised costs. In line with the evolving needs of Indian customers and the growing trends in the Indian home market, Schneider Electric has introduced the new Miluz Lara range of switches and sockets, offering innovative and advanced features. This range not only prioritises design and functionality for end-users but also takes into account the needs of homebuilders. The range seamlessly integrates with our home automation solution wiser2.0, allowing homebuilders to upgrade their projects.”

Rajat Abbi, Vice President, Global Marketing, and Chief Marketing Officer, Schneider Electric, Greater India, said, “Schneider Electric is dedicated to empowering the entire ecosystem of builders and contractors through our innovative products and solutions. The launch of Miluz Lara exemplifies our commitment to innovation and our vision of connecting builders and end users with over 100 years of expertise in energy management. In addition to the product launch, we have an integrated marketing campaign lined up that will soon engage our audiences.”

To maximise safety and durability, various features have been incorporated into module design, including no single-pin insertions, which ensures that the shutters in the ‘live’ and ‘neutral’ terminals only open when two pins are present with a robust copper contact with an extended lifespan of more than 2 lakh operations. With high-quality silver nickel rivets that are RoHS compliant and exceptionally robust, which are made from fire-resistant materials and high-quality polycarbonate, the facades retain their brilliant colours. Switches have an IP20 rating, meaning they are touch-proof and dust-resistant, and modules are offered in gloss white and matte anthracite to match a variety of interiors.
