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

Very sturdy unit with a good, positive feel in use. Nice big switch, so easy to find, especially with the locator function - but be warned, despite what it said in the leaflet, both of mine came pre-wired differently and so the LED didn't work out-of-the-box. My fault really, I didn't check the lead positions - I just took it as read that they were wired up for the configuration I wanted. Bit of head scratching and a quick look inside and now they work a treat. In fairness, all you need to know is contained in the leaflet that comes with them, although you do have to work at it! Other than that, no moans at all (at least so far) and I'm looking forward to being able to find the light switch in the depth of winter this year, without falling down a hole doing it.

Got this because we have a multiple floodlight setup in the back garden, the neighbour has moved and the new guy has moved in and started screaming about the light coming in his window. He is about four foor six, I think he is asking a bit much suggesting it went in his eyes. Anyway, this little fellar goes on about how the light pollution is ruining his life and asked me to turn it off, I figured I could put a switch on the cable to the end light. I'm no electrician, but I've licked 9v batteries to check if they were charged or not, so I call that a close second. Fitting it was simple, and instead of connecting it to the light I have connected it to the power control of a small hifi in the shed. . 240 watts, 2am I don't see why he can't trim his damn hedge, it's higher than my house and at his height it would be just as effective at a fifth of the height UPDATE: Someone threw a rock at this floodlight last week, so it was out of action..... When he got broken into at 2am Suspect is believed to be a little irish man who doesn't understand sarcasm with a side order of karma related irony, who obviously doesn't realise the cctv picked him up in that dress on the patio at 2am drunk and singing show tunes Bit I digest... The switch is awesome, I can't recommend it enough

Great price great product ideal for your garage or shed

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.

Excellent quality. I first tried a switch from a certain other well-known brand that was absolute rubbish. Flexed when screwed onto the wall and then the screw holes snapped. Bought this as a replacement and couldn't be happier with it. Solid plastic that's rigid but still doesn't feel brittle. Has now been installed for around 9 months, survived happily in the rain. When I installed it I was quite liberal with my application of sealant - I put it essentially all over the back, and then sealed round to finish once it was on the wall. Connections were easy enough to make. Didn't bother with the light as as far as I've read it relies on a small amount of current passing through the incandesent bulb (no neutral present). I'm using CFL so it didn't work. Obviously I didn't want to use the earth for it because of the RCD. No great loss!

Great job thanks

Just received this and wired it up to my outdoor security light, all seems to work well until I switch off my security light, It gets considerably dimmer but stayes on! Isn't it supposed to cut the light off completely?? I have wired it all up correctly.

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

Ottimo prodotto qualità prezzo.

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.

Livrer a heure et attend, bonne caliter

Hier past einfach alles. Verarbeitung, absolut wasserdicht, dicke Membran zwischen Schaltwippe und Kasteninnerem die ein Weilchen halten wird. Diese dicke Membran erzeugt auch ein wunderbar weiches Schalten. Klasse Wechselschalter. Angebracht ist hier allerdings Kabelverschraubungen zu verwenden, um den Kasten Wasserdicht zu halten. Das halte ich fuer ganz wichtig, wenn man das nicht macht, kann man auch einfach nen standard-Schalter im Baumarkt holen. LED laesst sich leicht in verschiedenen Modi schalten. Von Haus aus ist sie AN wenn die Last 1 des Wechselschalters aus ist. (Damit man den Schlater im Dunklen gut findet). Kann man aber wie gesagt auch anders betreiben. Englishe Bedienungsanleitung ist gut gemacht - fuer die die Englisch verstehen, aber selbst wenn nicht, wenn man zufrieden ist, dass die LED an ist wenn der Schalter aus ist, braucht man die Anleitung nicht - und mal ehrlich, wer schonmal nen Lichtschalter angebaut hat, kann auch die LED Schaltung verstehen, auch ohne Anleitung. Einziger Nachteil, und der ist wirklich nicht so wild: Der Schalter ist recht gross und klobig - dafuer hat man viel Platz im Inneren ordentlich zu Verkabeln.

Perfectamente lo anunciado. Instrucciones nada en español
