When it comes to designing or renovating a home, switches and power points are often overlooked. Yet, these small details can have a big impact on both functionality and aesthetics of your home. In New Zealand, homeowners are increasingly exploring unique residential switches and power points that combine modern technology, safety, and style.

You could be building new house or upgrading the exiting one, we have provided a guide to assist you choosing the right right switches and power points.

Today’s switches and outlets come in a variety of finishes and designs to match your décor:

Our Slimline Switches and Power Points are the perfect choice. At just 4.5mm thick, they sit almost flush with the wall, creating a seamless look that blends effortlessly into any modern interior. The ultra-thin profile means they don’t draw attention, letting your wall colour, textures, and overall design take centre stage. They’re ideal for contemporary homes where every detail matters.

For those who prefer timeless style, our Classic Range remains a forever favourite. With its simple lines, durable finish, and versatile design, it has stood the test of time in New Zealand homes. The Classic Range complements both traditional and modern interiors, making it a go-to choice for homeowners who want reliability and elegance in one.

Smart Home Integration

No more hunting for adapters or fighting over charging space. Our USB and USB-C power points are designed to make modern living effortless. By integrating charging ports directly into your outlets, you can plug in phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices without the need for bulky chargers cluttering your space.

USB-C outlets, in particular, offer fast-charging capabilities, keeping up with the latest smartphones, laptops, and smart devices. This makes them a future-ready addition to any home. Whether you’re installing them in the kitchen, living room, or beside the bed, these outlets keep your home tidy and your devices powered up efficiently.

When it comes to electrical fittings, safety should always come first. That’s why all our switches and power points are fully AS/NZS certified, meeting the strict safety and performance standards required in New Zealand and Australia.

Our products are built to last, made from premium flame-retardant PC materials that resist fading, cracking, and everyday wear and tear. This ensures they not only look great for years but also perform safely under New Zealand’s electrical standards.

For hassle-free installation, our switches and power points are designed with a standard 84mm mounting centre and come complete with 2 x screws, making them quick and reliable for electricians to fit. With quality you can trust, these fittings are a smart investment for any Kiwi home.

We understand that every home is different, which is why we offer switches and power points in both vertical and horizontal ranges.

Vertical Range – A traditional option that many New Zealanders are familiar with. Vertical layouts are practical, space-saving, and often used in more compact areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Horizontal Range – A modern take that’s increasingly popular in new builds and renovations across New Zealand. Horizontal layouts create a sleek, streamlined appearance and often suit open-plan living areas and designer interiors.

At Sparky Shop, we stock a wide selection of switches ranging from 1-gang through to 6-gang configurations, giving you the flexibility to choose exactly what your space requires. Whether it’s a simple 1-gang switch for a hallway light, or a 6-gang unit to control multiple lights and appliances in larger living areas, we’ve got you covered.
