BG Electrical Outdoor Single Switch with LED Indicator, Weatherproof, Grey, Nexus Storm, 2-Way, 20A, IP66 Rated, WP12

Superb outside switch. Easy to install, easy to set-up. Just a first class product

A perfectly fine waterproof switch from BG. The switch comes with 4 screws, 4 screw caps, and 4 black rubber bungs to place over your wall fixing holes. (Photo). If you fix it with dome headed screws, you will have less chance of cracking the back plate. The switch itself is a 2 way single pole switch, with a current rating of 20amps. All that means is that you either have continuity between COM and WAY 1 or COM and WAY 2, depending on which way the switch is. The neon indicator lamp, isn't fixed, so you can move it to either WAY 1 or WAY 2, depending on how your circuit is wired. (Photo). The back box has a good internal depth of 37mm. There is a knockout on each side, with one side having 2 knockouts. There is also a knockout in the centre of the back. Knockouts are 20mm but can be easily enlarged to 25mm. The actual electrical switch is a half sized unit, and would be easy to replace. There is a rubber membrane between the main switch that you press, and the electrical switch. (Photo). The switch has a nice satisfying click in use. When you fix it to your wall, do not forget to drill a small drain hole at the base of the back box unit. They are clearly marked 'DRAIN'. You only need to drill one, which will allow any condensation to drain out. Overall, this is a very well priced IP66 switch, that works well in use. I hope you found this review helpful.

The switch is very well made, I have had one of these in an extremely harsh environment, blasted by very powerful UV from the sun as well as extreme rain and wind during parts of the year. This has lasted for over three years and is in very good condition considering it's location. Hence my ordering a second for a similar project. They are not subtle, quite large and almost industrial in appearance but they are very effective. This one is a momentary press switch, so the current flows for as long as you press the switch, but the spring returns it to the off position as soon as you release it. Exactly what I needed and very useful.

All good

Good switch

Not the best product doesn't come with any rubber glands for wire seal

Installed next to my hot tub to control the lights around it. Slightly unconventional install as I'm running a Shelly Plus i4 and Home Assistant to switch some smart bulbs and a WLED strip above the tub, but it works perfectly. The new design is significant'y better than the previous version as there's no longer any chance of stripping the screws if/when they start to rust. A quarter turn of the large plastic retainers and it's locked perfectly. My only wish would be if BG/Masterplug would make a 2 gang version of the outdoor retractive switch. Sure, you could potentially modify this one with a couple of springs but I'd prefer not to start hacking electrical devices (especially ones that are going to live outdoors).

Great job thanks

Schalter ist sehr stabil gefertigt, die Anschlüsse sind schraubbar, sodass man unterschiedliche Querschnitte anschließen kann. Er besitzt ein kleines Lämpchen zur Kontrolle der Schaltstellung, dass man aber auch deaktivieren kann, wenn es nicht benötigt wird. Das Produkt ist wasserfest und qualitativ für die Ewigkeit gebaut. Es bietet im Gehäuse viel Platz für ein- und ausgehende Kabel. Der Schalter schaltet zweipolig, sodass man sichergehen kann, dass nach dem Abschalten keine Phase mehr anliegt. Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung.

Ottimo prodotto qualità prezzo.

Buon Prodotto per rapporto qualità prezzo

Excellent!

Contrairement à ce qu'on voit sur les photos de certains commentateurs il n'y pas de quoi rendre étanche l'entrée/sortie des câbles. Du coup l'interrupteur est peut-être étanche mais sans le câbler alors. Il aurait suffit de livrer de quoi rendre étanche au moins deux des orifices prévus.
