Electrical Accessories List: What Every Indian Home Needs
This electrical accessories list covers every fitting a new Indian house needs, from switches and sockets to MCBs, holders, spike guards and bells, with what each one does, the rating it usually carries, and one of our product codes with its printed MRP. Use it as a checklist for a new home, a renovation, or a contractor’s purchase order, and take the codes to your dealer.
Key takeaways
- The core list: switches, 6A and 16A sockets, plates and boxes, fan regulators, MCBs with a distribution box, lamp holders, LED lights, a spike guard, a doorbell, TV and RJ45 jacks, and a line tester.
- Ratings: 6A or 10AX switches for lights and fans; 16A sockets and a DP switch for the geyser and AC; one MCB per circuit.
- Prices: our MRPs in this list run from ₹22 for a VIYONA 1 way switch to ₹1,410 for a 16 way double door distribution box.
- Wiring first: wire, conduit and earthing are not accessories, but plan them before anything on this list.
- Buying: prices are MRP. We sell through dealers and by phone, not online.
Electrical accessories list for a new house
An electrical accessories list is every fitting that connects the wiring in your walls to the people and appliances in the house: switches, sockets, plates, regulators, MCBs and the board that holds them, lamp holders and lights, spike guards, bells and the small jacks for TV and internet. Wire, conduit and earthing are not accessories, but they get their own section below.
We have made these fittings in Mumbai since 1995, at our works in Marol, Andheri East, under three brands: KEMPS and VIZA for modular switches, sockets and plates, and VIYONA for the everyday range of switches, holders, MCBs, spike guards, bells and LED lights. Every price here is the printed MRP from our current catalogue.
Electrical accessories list and their uses
Grouped by job, the item types are: control (switches regulators dimmers), power (sockets spike guards flex boxes), protection (MCBs isolators distribution boxes), light (lamp holders LED lamps), and signal (TV sockets RJ45 jacks doorbells). Plates and back boxes hold the modular pieces together, and a line tester belongs in every toolbox.
The chart shows the MRP span of the examples we quote for each item type.
MRP span of our examples, by item type (₹)
Bar length is the highest MRP in each span, drawn to scale against the ₹1,410 16 way board. The spans cover only the products named in this article; the full catalogue has more. All prices are printed MRP.
MRP is the maximum retail price printed in our catalogue. Dealers commonly sell below it, so treat these figures as the ceiling for budgeting, not the price you will pay.

Switches: 1 way, 2 way, bell push and DP
Four switch types cover almost every house. A 1 way switch turns a light or fan on and off from one place. A 2 way switch controls one light from two places, such as a staircase. A bell push springs back when released. A DP switch (double pole) breaks both live and neutral and is typically fitted for the geyser and the AC.
For lights and fans, a 6A or 10AX switch is the correct rating. Our KEMPS Peony K101 10AX 1 way switch has an MRP of ₹65, and the matching K102 2 way switch is ₹105. The KEMPS K503 bell push in G.Grey is ₹125. For heavy loads, the K516 32AX DP switch with indicator is ₹392, and the VIZA V1250 32A DP switch is ₹330. If you want the lowest price, the VIYONA Deluxe 101 6A 1 way switch is ₹22.
Use 6A or 10AX switches for lights and fans. A 20A or 32A switch belongs on the circuit it is rated for, typically a geyser or AC point, not on a ceiling light.
Our guide to the types of electrical switches covers the rest, and the 1 way vs 2 way switch article explains the staircase wiring.
6A or 10AX for lights and fans, 16A for heavy appliances, shutters where children live.
One MCB per circuit in a distribution box sized with spare ways, plus an isolator at the board.
A holder for every light point and LED lamps from 0.5W night lamps to 15W panels.
Plan wire, conduit and earthing first, and keep a line tester in the house toolbox.
Sockets: 6A, 16A, shuttered and USB
Every room needs 6A sockets for chargers, lamps, the TV and the router, and the kitchen, bathrooms and AC walls need 16A sockets for the geyser, AC, iron, microwave and washing machine. A 16A plug will not enter a 6A socket, by design. A shutter closes the holes until a plug pushes in, useful wherever there are small children.
Our examples: the VIZA V262 6A 2 pin socket with shutter at ₹78, the KEMPS K192 6A 3 pin socket with shutter at ₹110, the VIZA V263 16A socket on a porcelain base at ₹160, and the KEMPS K193 6A and 16AX universal socket with shutter at ₹205. For charging, the KEMPS K207 USB charger socket is ₹750 and the VIZA V305 USB charger (2A) is ₹650.
MRP of the sockets named here (₹)
Bars drawn to scale against the ₹750 KEMPS K207. Green bars are 6A sockets, red are 16A-capable, blue are USB chargers. Printed MRP from our catalogue.
A “2 in 1 five pin” socket such as VIZA V268 is a 6A socket. It takes 2 pin and 3 pin 6A plugs only; never force a 16A plug into it with an adaptor.
Our 6A vs 16A socket guide goes appliance by appliance, and the USB socket article covers where built-in charging makes sense.
Plates, frames and boxes
Modular switches and sockets clip into a frame, the plate covers it, and a back box sits in the wall behind. Plates are sold by module count: 1M 2M 3M 4M 6M 8M 12M 18M. A switch takes one module; a socket or a KEMPS regulator takes two. Add up the modules on each board before you buy, or use our plate size calculator.
Plates show the widest price range, because they are the part people see.
MRP of a 4M plate across our ranges (₹)
Bars drawn to scale against the ₹574 Glasso plate. White or single-price colour shown; metallic and texture finishes cost more within each range. Printed MRP.
Our plates fit all major modular switch systems, carry a 5-year warranty, and are UV-protected so they do not turn yellow. Browse the KEMPS Orchid plates or the VIZA Cherry plates, and see modular plate sizes explained for the dimensions.
Leave one module spare on busy boards. A blank plate such as KEMPS K218 (₹24) fills it today, and the space takes a USB charger or an extra socket later without a new plate.
Back boxes: VIZA concealed 4M box V614 ₹88; surface 4 way gang box V644 ₹115.
Fan regulators and dimmers
Each ceiling fan needs a regulator on the board by the door, and a dimmer suits a bedroom or pooja corner. Step regulators give fixed speeds; our KEMPS range comes in 4 step and 5 step versions.
Examples with MRP: KEMPS K213 Tiny EME 4 step fan regulator ₹405, KEMPS K214 Duro EME 5 step ₹450, VIZA V275 Tiny EME 4 step ₹340, and the VIYONA 137 mini 4 step regulator at ₹215 for non-modular boards. For lights, the KEMPS K211 Tiny 450W dimmer is ₹275. The VIYONA range is on the VIYONA electronic dimmer and fan regulator page.
A dimmer is made for lamps, and a fan regulator for fans. Do not swap one for the other, and check with the lamp maker that an LED lamp is dimmable before fitting a dimmer.
Our fan regulator types article compares them in detail.
Which MCB and distribution box does a house need?
A house needs one distribution box at the meter end holding a main isolator or double pole MCB, then one MCB per circuit (lights, sockets, kitchen, each AC and the geyser), with the box sized to hold every MCB plus two or three spare ways for circuits you will add later.
Our VIYONA 10 kA breaking capacity MCBs are made to IS/IEC 60898-1: the 401 single pole MCB (6A to 32A) is ₹145 and the 411 double pole (6A to 32A) is ₹350. For a modular board, the KEMPS K225 single pole MCB is ₹295 and the K226 double pole is ₹625. Our VIYONA isolators start at ₹230 for the 442 40A double pole and ₹290 for the 443 63A.
MRP of VIYONA MCB boxes by size (₹)
Bars drawn to scale against the ₹1,410 16 way double door board. Box only; MCBs are priced separately. Printed MRP.
See our double door distribution boxes and SPN MCB boxes.
An MCB protects the wiring from overload and short circuit; it does not protect a person from shock. That is the job of an RCCB, which is commonly added to a home board. RCCBs are not in our catalogue, so ask your electrician to source one.
Oversized MCBs fail to protect the wire; our MCB for home guide matches ratings to circuits.
Lamp holders and LED lights
Every light point needs an angle holder, batten holder, pendant holder or ceiling rose. The VIYONA Deluxe 201 angle holder and 202 batten holder in polycarbonate are ₹26 each, the 203 2-part ceiling rose is ₹28, the Sumo skirt holders with aluminium ring are ₹30, and the 226 multi pendant holder is ₹34.
For the lamps themselves, our VIYONA LED range includes the 1065 9W LED lamp at ₹70 and the 1066 12W at ₹145, both marked to IS 16102, the 1010 3W LED down light at ₹100, the 1025 15W slim panel at ₹400, and the 1061 0.5W night lamp at ₹40. Browse them on the VIYONA LED lights page and the holders on the VIYONA lamp holder page.
A loose or cracked holder is a common cause of flickering, and at ₹26 to ₹34 it is the cheapest part of a light point to get right.
Spike guards, flex boxes and plug tops
A spike guard gives several sockets on a cord for a TV unit or desk; a flex box is a temporary extension; plug tops replace damaged plugs.
Our VIYONA Classic ABS spike guard 291 (4 sockets, 1.5 m) is ₹370 and the 6-socket 297 is ₹495. With two USB ports built in, the Classic ABS spike guard with USB 301 is ₹650. The V2 flex box 271 (2×4 m) is ₹285 and the 273 (3×4 m) is ₹345. Replacement plug tops: the 241 6A 3 pin top is ₹64 and the 242 16A is ₹105.
Our Royal ABS spike guards are marked 6AMP. Do not run a heater, iron, geyser or AC through a spike guard or flex box; those loads need their own 16A wall socket.
Check the rating on any extension first, and uncoil long cords in use.
Doorbells, TV and data jacks, and testers
Plan for a bell push at the door and a bell inside, a TV socket behind the TV unit, an RJ45 jack wherever a router, desktop or smart TV sits, and a line tester for the house toolbox.
Our VIYONA ding dong bells start at ₹195 (Boss, 234), with the Classic 232 at ₹210; the musical door bells start with the Classic Parrot 236 at ₹235. In modular form, the KEMPS K201 TV socket is ₹102 and the KEMPS K205 2M RJ45 modem jack with shutter is ₹284. On a VIYONA board, the 124 mini TV socket is ₹44 and the 128 RJ45 computer jack is ₹130. The VIYONA line tester 198 is ₹36.
Run the TV and data cables before plastering, even if you plan to use Wi-Fi. A wall jack costs little at wiring stage and a great deal once the walls are finished.
A line tester shows whether a point is live; it does not prove that a circuit is dead. Switch off at the MCB before touching any terminal.
Electrical items for house wiring: wire, conduit and earthing
Plan these first; our house wire guide covers sizes, current capacity and the full price list. Our VIYONA building wire comes in 0.75 to 6 sq mm, in black, red, blue, yellow and green, in 45 m and 90 m coils. Our catalogue MRP for the 652 1.5 sq mm wire of ₹1,450 for 45 m and ₹2,740 for 90 m, and the 653 2.5 sq mm at ₹2,292 and ₹4,384. See the VIYONA electrical wire page.
Current-carrying capacity of our wire, from our catalogue table (A)
Bar length is the in-conduit figure, drawn to scale against 32 A: concealed home wiring runs in conduit, so that is the figure that applies. The two figures are for two installation methods, in conduit or trunking and clipped to a surface or cable tray, for two cables, single phase, as printed in our catalogue. Your electrician sizes each circuit.
In common practice, 1.5 sq mm is used for light and fan circuits and 2.5 sq mm for socket circuits, heavier for AC and geyser runs. Conduit and earthing material are not in our catalogue. PVC conduit is usually laid before plaster, with an earth wire run to every 3 pin socket.
Every 3 pin socket needs a working earth. A socket with no earth behind it looks the same on the wall but offers no protection when an appliance body becomes live.
Electrical items for new house: one bedroom board at MRP
A typical KEMPS bedroom door board at printed MRP: two K101 10AX 1 way switches for light and fan (₹130), a K213 4 step fan regulator (₹405), a K192 6A shuttered socket (₹110), and a 6M KEMPS Orchid plate K305 in white (₹230). Two 1M switches, a 2M regulator and a 2M socket fill the six modules exactly.
Bedroom door board, KEMPS, at MRP (₹875 total)
Bars drawn to scale against the ₹405 regulator. Sum of printed MRPs; back box, wire and labour not included, and dealer prices are usually lower.
VIZA or VIYONA pieces lower the total; a Glasso or Daisy plate raises it. Our modular switch board price guide costs complete boards the same way, and the electrical layout guide helps you count boards before you price them.
Repeat this for each board and you have a line-by-line budget, with a code a dealer can quote against.
Electrical items list with price: MRP, dealers and quality checks
The prices in this article are the printed MRP from our current catalogue. We do not sell online. Buy from an electrical dealer, by calling our team, or by visiting us in Mumbai.
Check three things before you pay: the rating printed on the product matches your list, the product code matches the one quoted, and any ISI mark carries a licence number you can verify. Our guide to spotting a fake ISI mark shows how.
Take this checklist to the dealer with codes against each room. Quoting codes such as K192 or V263 removes guesswork about ratings.
We are ISO 9001:2015 certified and make 2000+ products in-house, so one supplier can cover almost this entire list. Download the full e-catalogue or browse the KEMPS switches and sockets, VIZA switches and sockets and VIYONA series.
