Click Scolmore Adds Red Wiring Accessories to Mode Range

Dedicated Identification for Emergency Circuits

Click Scolmore has expanded its established Mode wiring accessories line by introducing 14 red product variants. Designed specifically for commercial, industrial, and specialized domestic installations, the new line-up gives electrical contractors a standardized way to highlight emergency and critical power feeds. The expanded offering covers switched and unswitched socket outlets, fused connection units (FCUs), MiniGrid frontplates, and matching surface-mounted pattress boxes.

Meeting Compliance and Safety Standards

In modern build environments, distinguishing essential supply lines—such as those powering fire alarms, security systems, server racks, or medical equipment—from standard ring mains is vital for ongoing maintenance and safety. By providing dedicated red faceplates and accessories within the existing Mode profile, Scolmore enables installers to maintain a consistent aesthetic across a site while clearly marking out dedicated circuits for secondary trades and building managers.

What this means for buying tradespeople and DIYers

What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?

For working electricians, this release eliminates the need to mix accessory ranges or rely on add-on warning labels when fitting out critical circuits. Contractors sourcing from electrical wholesalers can now grab off-the-shelf, fully color-coded Mode fittings that match the footprint and terminal layouts of the standard white Mode accessories they already install. While serious DIYers rarely require red accessories at home, those managing home workshops or dedicated solar/battery backup systems gain a clean, professional way to mark out non-standard supply points. Expect these components to trade at a slight premium over standard white plastic accessories, but their inclusion in a mainstream trade range should keep prices competitive against specialized industrial outlets.

Standardized Fit for Faster Installs

Because the new additions utilize the familiar Click Scolmore architecture, installers can integrate them directly into existing backboxes without modifying first-fix cabling or containment systems.
