Where is this waterproof socket outlet with switch most commonly used?

This waterproof surface-mounted socket outlet with a 2-gang switch is most commonly used in garages, basements, storage rooms, workshops, technical rooms, auxiliary rooms, utility buildings and protected outdoor areas, for example under a canopy.

What is this socket outlet with switch made of?

The product is made of plastic. The plastic housing is lightweight, insulating and suitable for everyday electrical installation use. Thanks to the IP44 protection design, the socket outlet is better protected against dust and water splashes than standard socket outlets intended for dry rooms.

Is this product suitable for outdoor conditions?

The product can be used in protected outdoor areas, for example under a canopy, in a gazebo, on a terrace or in a utility building, provided that it is not directly exposed to rain, snow or water jets. For open outdoor areas, it is recommended to choose a solution with a higher protection rating, such as IP54, IP55 or IP65.

How does this socket outlet with switch differ from a standard socket outlet?

A standard socket outlet is intended only for connecting an electrical device. This model additionally has a 2-gang switch, so it allows not only connection of a device but also control of two separate electrical circuits, for example two luminaires or two lighting zones.
