Why this product

  • The Styrbar is fixed to the wall instead of lying around somewhere
  • Where everyone looks for the switch: next to the door
  • Fits both the older and the newer Styrbar
  • The switch underneath keeps working: put the rocker back and you can cut the power
  • No screws and no glue: only the existing faceplate comes off

Description

An IKEA Styrbar is handy, but it has no home. It lies on the table, falls behind the sofa, or hangs crookedly next to the door on the plate it came with. This faceplate puts it where you look for it anyway: on the wall, where the light switch is.

The faceplate replaces the one on your existing switch. You take the rocker off, click the switch insert into the printed faceplate, and the Styrbar is held in place by friction. From the front you see a control that belongs with the switch, instead of a loose remote stuck to the wall somewhere.

The switch stays usable

The switch underneath stays connected as normal. If you ever need to cut the power to the lights — when re-pairing a bulb, for example — you take the Styrbar out of the faceplate and put the original rocker back. After that, the Styrbar goes back in.

That is deliberate: in a house with more than one occupant, a smart control that makes the ordinary switch unusable is a source of irritation.

Compatible with

Made for the IKEA Styrbar. The faceplate replaces the one on your existing switch and fits several switch systems, including ELKO RS. Because faceplates differ by brand and by series, we are happy to check it for you: send a photo of your switch with the faceplate removed. MODUXO is not an official partner of IKEA or ELKO.

The brands and devices mentioned belong to their own manufacturers. MODUXO is not an official partner of those brands; "compatible with" means this product fits the device named, nothing more.

Mounting

Take the rocker off the switch and unclip the faceplate. The insert that sits in the faceplate can be unclipped and clicked into the printed faceplate. Then put the insert back on the switch and press the Styrbar into the faceplate. No tools are needed and you do not have to drill anything.

Material

Printed in PLA. A faceplate sits indoors, is not exposed to heat and above all has to hold its dimensions; PLA is good at that. If your faceplate will be in full sun, let us know before you order.

Product safety

  • Made of PLA. PLA softens from about 55 °C: do not mount it right next to a heat source, in full sun behind glass or in a car.
  • Mount it with screws and plugs that suit your wall, and check that everything is secure afterwards. Only load the holder with the device it was made for.
  • Keep the ventilation openings of the device in the holder clear.
  • Not a toy. Keep small parts, such as screws and clips, out of reach of young children.
  • If you notice a crack or deformation, stop using the holder and contact us.

Frequently asked questions

Will this fit my switch?
The faceplate fits several switch systems; ELKO RS is one of them. Faceplates differ by brand and by series, so we would rather check it for you. Send a photo of your switch with the faceplate removed, and you will know for sure before you order.
Will my light switch still work?
Yes. The switch insert stays in place and stays connected. You can take the Styrbar out of the faceplate and put the original rocker back if you want to cut the power to the lights.
Does it fit both the old and the new Styrbar?
Both. The two versions differ at the back, but the dimension that clamps into this faceplate is the same on both.
Will the Styrbar fall out?
It is held by friction, so it stays put in normal use and when you press the buttons. You take it out on purpose by pulling it towards you by the edge.
Do I need to do anything electrical?
No. You only remove the rocker and the faceplate; the wiring is not touched. If in doubt, have it done by someone who does this sort of thing more often.
