The neon glows red when the socket is switched on, visible through the transparent hinged lid even when closed, providing a visual confirmation of live power without needing to open the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for outdoor installation on garage walls, garden shed exteriors, patios and driveways, the IP66 rating protects the socket from water jets and dust ingress. The hinged lid stays open at 90 degrees when propped, allowing temporary or continuous use without holding it, and the wide cable channels inside the casing accommodate thick over-moulded strain reliefs commonly found on outdoor extension leads and power tools. Multiple 20mm conduit entry points around the base allow flexible cable routing depending on wall position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure measures 153mm high, 110mm wide and projects 84mm from the wall when surface-mounted. The polycarbonate construction is rated IK06 for impact resistance, suitable for locations where the socket may be knocked or struck by garden equipment. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for outdoor circuits. The socket is certified to BS 1363-2 and carries a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e153 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeon Indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1881398_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_827716.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does IP66 mean for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP66 means the socket is protected against powerful water jets from any direction and is completely dust-tight.

The hinged lid holds itself open at 90 degrees when propped, allowing a plug to remain inserted and the socket to be used continuously without needing to hold the lid or remove the plug each time it closes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable entry options are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure provides multiple 20mm conduit entry points around the base, allowing the supply cable to enter from below, from either side, or from the rear depending on the installation position and routing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the neon indicator work when the lid is closed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The neon is visible through the transparent smoked lid, so you can see whether the socket is switched on without opening the cover.
