Norisys CUBE vs TG9: Which Series Fits Your Home?
- Same engineering core: thermoset housings, steel-cored frames, spring-loaded contacts.
- CUBE = refined workhorse with palm switches and a solid-glass upgrade path.
- TG9 = designer flagship: solid metal levers, aluminium, wood and glass plates.
- Pick one series per home; mix mechanisms and finishes freely within it.
Norisys builds switchgear the way watchmakers build watches: precision mechanisms first, faces second. Its two modular families share the same engineering core, live parts housed in fire-safe thermoset, steel-cored frames, spring-loaded socket contacts, but they wear very different faces. CUBE is the quietly premium workhorse: clean thermoplastic mechanisms, palm switches, and cover plates that range up to solid glass. TG9 is the designer flagship: solid metal levers in chrome and gold, and plates in genuine aluminium, wood and glass.
We stock 700+ Norisys products across both series, every one with structured specs and honest pricing. This guide walks the highlights of each family so you can pick a series before you pick the pieces.
Norisys Cube 6A Two Way Palm Switch with Indicator
The signature CUBE mechanism: a broad palm rocker you can press with the back of your hand, arms full. Crisp action, muffled click thanks to the internal arc shield, and a discreet indicator window. This is the everyday switch that makes a CUBE wall feel expensive without shouting about it.
Norisys TG9 16A 2-Way Glossy Chrome Metal Lever Switch
TG9's calling card: a solid metal lever, not painted plastic, in glossy chrome over a 16A two-way mechanism. The weight of the action is unmistakable the first time a guest uses it. Also available in matt chrome, black glossy and mellow gold to match the plate you choose.
Norisys TG9 Solid Aluminium 6M Plate
A plate machined from genuine aluminium, natural, black or bronze anodised, with steel embedded in the frame behind it. Snap-fits after the walls are painted, so the finish never meets a paintbrush. Pair it with metal-lever switches for the full TG9 effect.
Norisys TG9 Solid Wood 4M Plate
Real wood on the wall, not a laminate print. The grain varies piece to piece, which is exactly the point. It warms up bedrooms and studies where metal would feel cold, and the module windows keep the switch faces flush and precise.
Norisys Cube 1 Module Solid Glass Cover Plate
CUBE's premium face: a solid glass plate that turns even a lone bell push into a detail worth noticing. Glass runs across the CUBE plate range from 1M to 21M in ice white, smoked silver, gray and black, so a whole home can carry the same language.
Norisys Cube C-Type USB Charger Socket
A USB-C charging module that sits flush in any CUBE or TG9 plate. This is the quiet advantage of a serious modular system: bedside points that charge phones without adapters, specified per room rather than per house.
Norisys Cube 500W Dimmer
CUBE's rotary dimmer carries the same restrained styling as its switches and drops into the same plates. Grey and white knobs match the two core mechanism colours, and the 500W rating covers most living-room lighting loads.
Norisys TG9 Smart Plate 3M
TG9's thermoplastic Smart Plates are the value entry to the designer series: the same steel-cored frames and precise module windows, in finishes that sit happily beside the metal and wood plates elsewhere in the house.
Buying tips
- Pick the series per home, not per room: mechanisms and plates within a series mix freely, and one language across the house reads far more premium than alternating brands.
- CUBE for engineering-first value with a glass upgrade path; TG9 when the wall itself is part of the interior design and metal levers or real wood earn their premium.
- Both series follow the standard module maths: total your switches (1M each) and sockets (2M each), then choose the plate size. Our plate-size guide walks it room by room.
- Every Norisys product page on Elume shows finish options as swatches, and suggests the matching plates for the mechanisms you pick.
Frequently asked questions
Do CUBE and TG9 modules fit in each other's plates?
Within each series, mechanisms and plates interchange freely across finishes. A few TG9 hospitality modules list CUBE cover plates explicitly in their catalogue notes; where that applies, our product pages say so.
Is the metal on TG9 levers and plates real?
Yes. TG9 lever switches use solid metal levers (chrome, black or gold finishes) and the designer plates are genuine anodised aluminium, wood or glass, not printed thermoplastic.
Which is more affordable, CUBE or TG9?
CUBE mechanisms and thermoplastic plates cost less than TG9 designer plates; TG9 Smart Plates sit between. On Elume both series carry checked market pricing, with prices on every listing.
