Where to Buy Legrand in South Africa – The Official Distributor Guide
Quick answer: Lite-Glo Electrical Wholesalers is an official Legrand distributor — one of a select few in South Africa. That means you can buy the genuine Legrand range online at liteglo.co.za: the Ysalis and Arteor switch and socket ranges, plug tops and Cat6 data — with trade tier pricing for electricians, contractors and resellers who sign in, and delivery anywhere in South Africa.
Why “official distributor” matters when you buy Legrand
An official distributor stocks Legrand through Legrand’s own channel in South Africa — and that changes what lands in your hands. In practice it means four things:
- Genuine product. The switch on your wall is the switch Legrand engineered — not a grey import or a lookalike plate that yellows and cracks in two summers.
- The full current catalogue. Not a picked-over shelf of leftovers, but the ranges as Legrand sells them today — plates, modules, frames and finishes that all belong together.
- Depth of stock. Enough of one range, in one finish, to plate an entire house, office floor or hotel wing so every room matches.
- A supply line you can build a project on. When the spec says Legrand, your quote, your first fix and your final fit-off all draw from the same source.
For electricians and specifiers that last point is the whole game: a 40-plate installation only looks right if plate 1 and plate 40 are identical. Buying from an official distributor is how you guarantee it.
What does Legrand make?
Legrand is the French specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure — founded in Limoges in 1865 and today one of the biggest names in switches and sockets worldwide, with a presence in around 90 countries. If you have stayed in a good hotel or worked in a modern office building, you have almost certainly used a Legrand wiring device without knowing it.
The catalogue runs from wiring devices (switches, sockets, dimmers) through data connectivity, cable management and power distribution — but in South Africa, the heart of the brand is the wall plate. That is where Lite-Glo’s Legrand business lives.
The Legrand ranges in stock at Lite-Glo
Ysalis — the South African workhorse
Ysalis is Legrand’s range built for South African installations: standard 2×4 and 4×4 plates, 1-way and 2-way lever switches, single and double sockets, the newer SA + slimline combination sockets that take both plug types in one plate, and Cat6 data modules — in clean white and a very sharp black.
Here is a number from our own counter: the Legrand Ysalis 2-lever switch is the single best-selling finished product on liteglo.co.za — more than 10,000 sold. When the people who wire buildings for a living pick one switch over and over, that is the review that counts.
Arteor — the premium modular system
Arteor is Legrand’s international designer range, built as a modular system: a support frame, a cover plate, and click-in modules — lever switches, SA sockets, slimline sockets, Cat6 data and blanks — in finishes including white and magnesium. Because everything is modular, a designer can put power, data and switching behind one clean plate, and an installer can change the mix without replastering. It is the range for upmarket homes, boutique offices, hotels and anywhere the wall plate is part of the interior design.
Beyond the wall plate
The Legrand range at Lite-Glo also covers the details that finish a job properly: slimline and 3-pin plug tops in white and magnesium, and Legrand Cat6 network cable for structured cabling runs.
How the trade buys Legrand at tier pricing
Lite-Glo’s pricing is tiered: electrical contractors, electricians and electrical resellers each get their own price level across the full catalogue — including every Legrand line. Sign in on liteglo.co.za and every product page shows your price automatically. No price lists, no phoning for a quote on the everyday items.
- Contractors and electricians: price the whole job online — Ysalis by the box for the units, Arteor for the penthouse — and have it delivered to site, anywhere in South Africa, or collect from the store.
- Electrical resellers and other stores: Lite-Glo supplies Legrand at wholesale prices through the B2B reseller tier, so you can stock your own shelves from ours. If Legrand-buying customers walk into your shop, this is your supply line.

Buying Legrand for your home renovation
You do not need a trade account to buy Legrand from us — the public shops the same shelf, online, at retail pricing. If you are renovating, the switch plate is the one fitting your hand touches every single day; it is worth choosing properly. Pick Ysalis for a crisp, modern standard finish (the black plates transform a room), or Arteor when the interior deserves the designer range. Your electrician fits it; installation should always be done by a qualified, registered electrician.
