KEMPS vs VIZA vs VIYONA: Which of Our Switch Series to Choose
KEMPS vs VIZA vs VIYONA is a choice between our three series of switches and sockets, and the answer is in the catalogue. KEMPS and VIZA are modular; VIYONA is conventional. On the same six items at MRP, KEMPS comes to ₹1,235, VIZA to ₹977 and VIYONA to ₹608. Below is each item, each plate design and each price, then which series fits a budget flat, a premium home, a rental and an office.
Key takeaways

- Six-item basket at MRP (1 way, 2 way, 6A socket, 16A socket, 32A DP, fan regulator): KEMPS ₹1,235, VIZA ₹977, VIYONA ₹608.
- Plates set the price of a board: an 8M plate in its lowest-priced finish runs from ₹130 (VIZA Decore) to ₹870 (VIZA Glasso).
- KEMPS adds HDMI, USB and modular MCBs; VIZA has the most switch lines and nine plate designs.
- VIYONA also covers our 10kA MCBs, distribution boxes, lamp holders, bells and spike guards.
KEMPS vs VIZA vs VIYONA: the short answer
KEMPS and VIZA are both modular ranges: switches, sockets and regulators that clip into a frame behind a cover plate. VIYONA is our conventional range, the traditional switches and sockets fitted to a surface or wooden plate, and it also carries our MCBs, distribution boxes, lamp holders, bells and spike guards.
On the same six items at catalogue MRP, a 1 way switch, a 2 way switch, a 6A socket, a 16A socket, a 32A DP switch and a 4 step fan regulator, KEMPS adds up to ₹1,235, VIZA to ₹977 and VIYONA to ₹608.
We make all three series at our works in Marol, Andheri East, Mumbai. Below they sit side by side, item by item and plate by plate.
Which of KEMPS, VIZA and VIYONA is modular?
KEMPS and VIZA are our two modular series, in which every switch and socket is a 1M or 2M module that clips into a frame behind a plate chosen separately in sizes from 1M to 18M, while VIYONA switches and sockets are the conventional type and our catalogue lists no modular cover plates for VIYONA at all.
KEMPS Modular Switch lines named Peony, Daisy, Orchid, Vinca and Aster, each in white and grey. VIZA Modular Piano, Royal, Slim, Sumo, Cherry, Mirchi, Vivo and Air switch lines, plus a matt black and grey line. VIYONA Conventional Deluxe, Nano and Decent 6A switches, a 16A switch and socket range, combined units and bed switches, fitted on 5 × 5 inch or 5 × 7 inch wooden surface plates.

Check before you buy A VIYONA switch will not fit a modular frame, and a KEMPS or VIZA module will not sit in a conventional board. Match the series to the box in the wall.

Kemps switches: what the range includes
KEMPS is built around five switch lines. Peony, Daisy, Orchid and Vinca each have 1M switches in 10AX and 20AX, and Peony, Daisy and Orchid add 2M switches up to a 32AX DP switch with indicator. Aster is the 2M line, including two switches in a single 2M module, such as K171 at ₹140.

Every code is on the KEMPS switches and sockets page.
Need HDMI, USB charging or an MCB on the same plate as the switches? KEMPS catalogues all three as modules.
Viza switches: what the range includes
VIZA has the most switch lines of the three. Piano Royal Big Flatty Slim Mirchi Cherry Vivo Sumo are 1M lines; Royal and Sumo also come in 2M with a 32A DP switch, and the Air line puts two switches in a 2M module. VIZA also lists porcelain-base switches, such as V117 at ₹95, and a 25A 1 way with indicator V124 at ₹155.
Sockets include the V266 6A 2 in 1 five pin at ₹75, the V270 6 & 16A universal at ₹130 and the V263 16A socket with porcelain base at ₹160. For hotels there is a hospitality range: the V282 32A DP key tag switch at ₹485 and the V304 hospital bell indicator at ₹275.
A matt black and grey VIZA line adds more. Every code is on the VIZA switches and sockets page.
2 in 1 five pin The V266 and V268 five pin sockets are 6A sockets. Heavy appliances need a 16A socket.
Viyona switches: the conventional range and what sits around it
VIYONA switches are the traditional type, in polycarbonate. The 6A Deluxe switch is ₹22 for 1 way and ₹36 for 2 way; the Nano and Decent lines are ₹22 and ₹37. For heavier loads there is a 16A 1 way switch marked ISI at ₹74 and a 6 & 16A universal socket at ₹90.
VIYONA also covers 3 in 1 and 5 in 1 switch-socket combined units, from ₹83 for the 6A combined unit, a 32A DP switch in surface (₹195) and concealed (₹205) types, bed switches from ₹33, and plate-type fan regulators.
Around the switches sit our 10kA MCBs: the 6 to 32A single pole MCB is ₹145, with double, three and four pole versions, isolators and distribution boxes. Lamp holders, bells and spike guards are VIYONA too; see the VIYONA series page.
No modular plates A VIYONA board is a conventional board.
Plate designs in each series, and what they cost
KEMPS has four plate designs. Orchid has arched edges and a chrome border, in moon white, K grey metallic, Z black metallic and walnut wood texture. Aster has a flat face in pearl white, rose gold, space blue and oak wood. Peony is a glass-style design.
VIZA has nine: Cherry, Aqua Cherry, Slim, Royal, Teyoma, V-Wood, Decore, Glasso and the acrylic Cristal, which comes in nine colours. VIYONA has no modular plate.
8 module horizontal plate MRP, lowest listed finish of each design
To scale against ₹870, rounded to the nearest 5%. Daisy, Peony and Cristal are one price in every colour; metallic and texture finishes of the others cost more. VIZA Teyoma white is ₹175.
5-year warranty UV-protected Our plates do not turn yellow, and they are compatible with all major modular switch systems. Finishes are compared in modular plate finishes compared.
The plate moves a board’s price more than the switches: ₹130 to ₹870 for an 8M plate, against ₹56 to ₹65 for an entry 10A 1 way switch.
32A DP switch and fan regulator: where the gap is widest
The 32A DP switch and the fan regulator are the two dearest items in the basket, and that is where the three series differ most in rupees.
32A DP switch MRP, white
To scale against ₹360, rounded to the nearest 5%. KEMPS and VIZA are 2M modules; VIYONA is a conventional switch, also sold as a surface type at ₹195.
4 step fan regulator MRP
To scale against ₹405, rounded to the nearest 5%. 5 step versions: KEMPS K214 ₹450, VIZA V276 ₹395, VIYONA 138 ₹225.
1M regulator VIZA also lists the V278 Royal EME 4 step regulator as a 1 module part at ₹360, useful on a tight board. See fan regulator types.
Geyser and AC In every series, a heavy point takes a 32A DP switch, which cuts live and neutral together.
Modular switch types across the three series
The modular switch types are the same in KEMPS and VIZA; what changes is how many lines each is offered in. 1 way 2 way Bell push Indicator are in both, in 1M. 2 switches in 2M KEMPS Aster and VIZA Air. 32A DP with indicator in both. Key tag KEMPS K221 ₹650, VIZA V282 ₹485. Motor starter KEMPS K223 ₹595, VIZA V292 ₹530.
Sockets follow the same pattern: 6A 16A 6A & 16A universal, TV and telephone jacks, RJ45 and USB. VIYONA covers many of the same functions in conventional form.
For what each switch type does and where it belongs, see types of electrical switches; for socket ratings, 6A vs 16A socket.
6A or 10AX for lights and fans, 16A sockets for heavy appliances, 32A DP for the geyser and AC. That rule holds in every series.
Which series suits a budget flat?
For a flat on a tight budget, VIZA with a white Decore or Cherry plate gives a modular board at the lower MRP of our two modular series: the six-item basket is ₹977 against ₹1,235 in KEMPS, and an 8M Decore plate is ₹130. VIYONA costs less again, at ₹608, but gives a conventional board.
VIZA V101 ₹56 for the 1 way switch. Decore white ₹55 for a 1M plate, ₹80 for 4M. Cherry white ₹65 for 1M, ₹98 for 4M. Teyoma white ₹70 for 1M, and only in white.
Spend the saving on a 16A socket for each heavy appliance and a 32A DP switch on the geyser. The VIZA modular page shows every plate and colour.
Existing flat If the walls hold conventional boxes, a modular board means new boxes. Where rewiring is not planned, VIYONA drops into the existing board.
Which series suits a premium home?
For a home where the switch board is part of the interior design, look at the plates first, because KEMPS Peony and Daisy and VIZA Glasso and Cristal are our coloured and glass-style designs, and KEMPS adds HDMI and USB sockets for the television wall.
KEMPS Peony ₹350 for 1M in every colour. KEMPS Daisy ₹380 for 1M. VIZA Glasso ₹335 white, ₹361 silver. VIZA Cristal ₹254 for 1M in nine colours. Wood textures Orchid walnut, Aster oak, VIZA Royal teak and V-Wood rey wood.
KEMPS lists the K206 HDMI socket at ₹1,150 and the K207 USB charger at ₹750. The KEMPS modular page shows each plate in its colours.
Mix plates You can use a glass-style plate in the living room and a white one in the utility area on the same switch line.
Which series suits a rental or an office?
For a rental, pick the series whose parts are cheapest to replace and easy to match later, which means VIZA with a white plate on a modular board or VIYONA where the flat already has conventional boards, and for an office pick KEMPS or VIZA, because both list RJ45 data jacks, USB chargers and modular MCBs.
RJ45 KEMPS K205 ₹284 (2M), VIZA V190 ₹185 (1M), VIYONA 128 ₹130. USB charger KEMPS K207 ₹750, VIZA V305 ₹650. Modular MCB KEMPS K225 ₹295, VIZA V401 ₹230. Key tag for hotel rooms in both.
Sizing the MCB itself: MCB for home.
Rental tip A faulty modular switch is typically swapped without changing the plate, so the board still matches after repairs.
Mixing our modular switch range, and how to buy it
Mixing series across a home is fine. You can keep one modular series throughout and change only the plate by room, or put VIYONA in a utility area. Our plates are compatible with all major modular switch systems.
