The WS1G2W is a 20A weatherproof IP65 1 gang 2 way switch, designed for reliable control of outdoor lighting, garden equipment, and external power points. Built from high-impact polycarbonate with a fully sealed housing and gasketed lid, it provides long-term protection against rain, dust, and UV exposure.
Installer Tip: Use the WS1G2W for single-point or two-way lighting control in outdoor runs — for example, porch lights, garage entrances, or garden paths. Combine with an external RCBO or weatherproof socket for full circuit protection.
- 20A rated switchgear for fixed outdoor circuits
- IP65 protection – dust-tight and water-resistant against low-pressure jets
- Polycarbonate enclosure – corrosion-proof and UV-stable
- 1 gang 2 way operation – ideal for lighting or pump control
- Multiple gland entries (top, bottom & rear) for flexible installation
- Complies with BS EN 60669-1 for domestic & commercial use
| Model | Gangs | Operation | Ingress Rating | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WS1G2W | 1 | 2 Way | IP65 | Outdoor lighting & power control |
| WS1GR | 1 | Retractive (Bell Push) | IP65 | Triggers or EV charger inputs |
| WS2G2W | 2 | 2 Way | IP65 | Dual zone lighting or pumps |
This 1-gang model offers a neat, space-saving design for external switching in gardens, workshops, or garages. The enclosure matches the finish of our weatherproof sockets & fused spurs, providing a consistent look across outdoor installations.
Where is the WS1G2W best used?
Perfect for single point or two-way control of outdoor lighting, pond pumps, or garage power circuits — anywhere a durable IP65 switch is needed.
What’s the difference between this and the WS1GR retractive model?
The WS1G2W is a latching 2-way switch for standard lighting. The WS1GR returns to centre when released for momentary or bell-push applications.
Can it be used in wet zones or exposed areas?
Yes – the IP65 housing protects against rain and dust. Ensure cable glands and gaskets are sealed properly to maintain the rating.
Is it compatible with standard back boxes or grid modules?
No – this is a stand-alone sealed unit with its own enclosure. It’s compatible with our full weatherproof range for matched installations.
