What’s the difference between retractive and 2 way switches?
Retractive switches (WS1GR) return to the ‘off’ position when released - commonly used for bell or trigger circuits. 2-way switches toggle between two outputs and can be used in standard lighting setups.
Is this suitable for outdoor lighting?
Yes – all models are IP66 rated and ideal for external lighting, pond pumps, or power control.
Can I install this near a water source?
Yes – provided it's properly sealed, it can be safely used in outdoor or wet environments.

Each switch unit comes pre-assembled and is ready to mount on external walls, posts, or backboards. Ensure all glands and grommets are correctly sealed to maintain IP rating. Retractive model (WS1GR) is commonly used for bell circuits or smart trigger inputs (e.g. EV charger enable).
- Confirm switch configuration before wiring (2-way vs retractive)

- Drill gland entries carefully to avoid internal damage
