Weatherproof outdoor sockets and switches

Outdoor sockets and switches are built to handle rain and dust in gardens, patios and other exposed spots. Most use a tough polycarbonate housing in black or white that shrugs off the weather, with sealed lids and gaskets keeping water out of the live parts. The range runs IP54 up to IP66, so you can match the rating to how exposed the position is.

What the range covers

The range spans 13A sockets in one and two gang, 20AX switches, double-pole switched units and RCD-protected sockets with Type A 30mA protection for added safety outdoors. Smart and remote-controlled models let you switch garden lighting or power from indoors or a phone, and switch boxes and a switched fused spur are stocked for fixed outdoor circuits and appliances.

Choosing an IP rating

Pick the rating to suit the spot. A more sheltered position under an eave or in a porch can take a lower-rated unit, while a fully open wall, fence post or anywhere facing driving rain wants the higher end of the range. The housing colour can be chosen to blend with brickwork, render or fencing.

Where these are used

Outdoor sockets power mowers, pressure washers, pond pumps and seasonal lighting without trailing leads back through a door. RCD-protected versions add a layer of protection for tools used on damp ground, and remote-controlled units make garden lighting easy to manage. A switched fused spur suits a fixed item such as a heater or pump.

Fitting and delivery

Outdoor wiring carries mains power and faces the weather, so fitting is a job for a qualified electrician. Free UK delivery over £99, worldwide shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the IP rating mean for outdoor use?
The IP rating shows how well a unit resists dust and water. This range spans IP54, IP55 and IP66, with IP66 giving the strongest protection against heavy rain and powerful water jets. For exposed garden walls and fully open positions, the IP66 sockets and switches are the safer pick.

Which outdoor sockets have RCD protection?
Some two-gang 13A sockets include built-in RCD protection rated Type A 30mA, which cuts power quickly if it detects a fault. This is worth having for tools, mowers and other equipment used outdoors. The product title and tags state whether a given socket carries RCD protection.

Can I fit an outdoor socket myself?
These connect to fixed mains wiring outdoors, where damp and earthing matter, so we recommend using a qualified electrician for installation. They can confirm the right protection for the circuit, mount the unit securely and make sure the weatherproof seal is intact so the IP rating holds up.

What is the difference between a 13A socket and a 20AX switch here?
The 13A units are sockets you plug equipment into outdoors. The 20AX items are switches, including one and two gang, two-way and retractive types, used to control outdoor lighting or other circuits. The switches here are single-pole, with one retractive model carrying a blue LED indicator. Several of the switched sockets and the fused spur are double-pole with neon indicators so you can see at a glance when they are live.

Are there smart or remote-controlled options?
Yes. The range includes smart IP66 sockets and remote-controlled sockets and switch boxes, including a five-gang remote switch box, so you can turn garden lighting or equipment on and off without going outside. These keep the same weatherproof polycarbonate housing as the standard models.
