Yes. In North America Meljac low-voltage keypads use momentary push buttons and toggles that integrate into any system that offers a contact-closure keypad interface.

Examples of compatible systems and their corresponding contact-closure interface include Lutron HomeWorks® QS (Wallbox Closure Interface – Part #:QSE-CE-WCI) and Crestron Crestnet® Control System (Universal Keypad Interface – Part #C2N-UNI8IO).

Yes. Since the Meljac push-buttons and toggles are momentary they can be programmed to provide dimming, trigger scenes, control shades, etc. when used with a compatible lighting control system.  For more information, please see the Meljac Integration Overview.

No. Meljac push buttons and toggles must be used as part of a class-2 wiring circuit.

Yes, but there are strict compatibility limitations that must be considered.

Meljac offers a push on/off rotary cover plate that uses a Leviton® RNL06-1OZ or Lutron Dalia LED+ dimmer as the control mechanism. These products are forward-phase control only and compatibility with your lighting fixtures must be confirmed.

A new suite of Meljac wallbox dimmers are in development.

Meljac offers 30 standard catalog finishes in materials such as nickel, chrome, brass, bronze and copper. You can view these on our website here or download the finish brochure.

We also offer the ability to match many finishes, along with a library of special finishes created for previous projects. Finish matching requires an additional fee, along with a minimum order of 30 pieces. Please allow a coordination time of around 4 weeks from when the project-supplied finish sample is received.

As a default, plates with cool finishes (e.g. chrome, nickel, gunmetal) are offered with chromé (chrome) mechanisms; plates with warm finishes (e.g. brass and bronze) come with doré (brass) toggles.

For an additional cost and added lead-time, select finishes allow for the mechanism to be matched to the plate.

The suggested standard engraving is 3 mm Helvetica font, with a limit of 9 characters per line.

Clients may also specify alternate font type and sizes, laser-engravings, relief engravings, resin-fills and braille, along with LED indication or backlit illumination.

Since Meljac plates are engraved prior to being finished and cannot be changed, all engravings must be confirmed at the time of purchase.

The Meljac plate size 82 x 117 mm plate fits into any standard US single-gang box or ring when ordered with visible screws. For 82 x 117 mm plates that are specified with hidden screws, you must either use the proprietary MELUS11782 box or a standard single-gang electrical box or ring whose compatibility with hidden screw plate construction has been confirmed. A list of compatible third party box and ring options can be found on page seven of our Plate Size & Back Box Guide.

All other Meljac catalog plate sizes require proprietary back boxes (UL/CSA listed) that are stocked and available for immediate purchase.

Meljac back boxes are available for immediate purchase from Meljac North America and ship within 1-2 business days.

Since all Meljac products are made-to-order in France, the average lead-time for a full project is 16-18 weeks. Certain products come with a shorter lead time, based on product details and finish.

Please allow additional lead-time for engravings, plates with hidden screws, special finishes, matched push buttons or toggles, and any other custom items requiring additional coordination and study from Meljac’s technical office.

Please note that because of the summer holiday in France, any order placed after June 1 cannot be guaranteed to be delivered until September.

Meljac plates should only be cleaned with a dry dust rag. No cleaning product should ever be used.

Due to their technical system requirements, Meljac lighting controls must be purchased through the system integrator since this entity is also responsible for installation and programming of the lighting control or home automation system.
