Question 2

Can I use this switch both indoors and outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It’s specifically built for indoor and outdoor applications thanks to its IP66-rated waterproof and dust-tight sealing, so it performs reliably in damp, dusty, or wet areas.

Question 3

What electrical load can this switch handle?

Accepted Answer

It is rated for standard 10A circuits, making it suitable for typical lighting setups and other compatible loads within that limit.

Question 4

What wiring configuration does it support?

Accepted Answer

The Salex IP66 10AX Light Switch supports one-way wiring (single-pole) configurations, which is the most common setup for basic lighting switches.

Question 5

How do I install the Salex IP66 10AX Light Switch?

Accepted Answer

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power is switched off before work, mount the switch securely in an appropriate enclosure, and connect the live and load conductors to the proper terminals. The IP66 sealing should be intact after installation to maintain protection.
