Niglon H-BWS131S IP66 13A 1 Gang Switched Socket
The Niglon H-BWS131S IP66 13A 1 Gang Switched Socket is a weatherproof single socket outlet from the Niglon Hurricane range. Rated at 13A and 230V AC, it features double-pole switching, a UV-resistant black enclosure and IP66 protection when the lid is closed.

Modern Black Weatherproof Socket
The Niglon H-BWS131S IP66 13A 1 Gang Switched Socket offers a modern alternative to conventional grey weatherproof sockets. Its black finish provides a more discreet and contemporary look, allowing it to coordinate well with dark exterior fittings, black electrical accessories and modern building finishes.
For installers searching for a black outdoor socket, IP66 single socket or weatherproof 13A switched socket, the H-BWS131S combines practical protection with a smart professional appearance.
IP66 Weatherproof Protection
With the lid securely closed, the socket carries an IP66 rating. The UV-resistant enclosure is designed to retain its suitability in exposed installations, while the covered design helps protect the socket when not in use.
The Niglon H-BWS131S IP66 13A 1 Gang Switched Socket is therefore a practical option where a single socket outlet requires additional protection from dust and water ingress.
Double-Pole Switching
The socket uses double-pole switching, providing switching of both live and neutral conductors. This specification makes the H-BWS131S a professional 13A weatherproof socket option for suitable electrical installations.
Blue Indicator
A blue indicator provides a clear visual reference on the front of the unit, complementing the black Hurricane enclosure and helping the accessory stand out clearly when required.
Lockable Weatherproof Cover
The enclosure is lockable, helping to restrict unwanted access to the socket. This can be particularly useful where the accessory is installed in a shared, commercial or publicly accessible location.
Flexible Cable Entry
The enclosure incorporates 5 x 20mm knockouts, giving installers a choice of cable entry positions and helping simplify routing during installation.
Where Can the H-BWS131S Be Used?
The Niglon H-BWS131S IP66 13A 1 Gang Switched Socket is designed for installations requiring a weatherproof single socket outlet with double-pole switching. Its compact 1-gang format, black finish and IP66 enclosure make it particularly useful where a single protected socket is preferred instead of a larger 2-gang accessory.
Why Choose the Niglon Hurricane Range?
The Niglon Hurricane range combines weather-resistant construction with a distinctive black finish. For installations where traditional grey outdoor accessories may look dated or visually intrusive, the Hurricane range provides a more contemporary option while retaining the practical features expected from professional weatherproof wiring accessories.
