Modern Black Weatherproof Double Socket

The Niglon H-BWS132S IP66 13A 2 Gang Switched Socket offers a modern alternative to conventional grey outdoor sockets. Its black finish provides a more discreet and contemporary look, helping it coordinate with dark exterior fittings, garden buildings, black electrical accessories and modern architectural finishes.

For installers looking for a black outdoor double socket, IP66 2 gang socket or weatherproof 13A switched socket, the H-BWS132S combines practical weather protection with a professional-looking finish.

Two 13A Switched Outlets

With two 13A outlets in one enclosure, the Niglon H-BWS132S IP66 13A 2 Gang Switched Socket provides a practical solution where more than one weatherproof power connection is required. The 2-gang format is ideal where a single socket would be too restrictive but a compact outdoor accessory is still preferred.

IP66 Weatherproof Protection

With the lid securely closed, the enclosure is rated to IP66, providing a high level of protection against dust and water ingress. The UV-resistant housing also makes the socket suitable for locations where it may be exposed to sunlight.

This combination of IP66 protection and UV resistance makes the H-BWS132S a strong choice for professional outdoor electrical installations.

Double-Pole Switching

The socket features double-pole switching, providing switching of both live and neutral conductors. This specification makes the unit suitable for installations where a robust and professionally specified weatherproof socket is required.

Blue Indicators

The socket incorporates blue indicators, providing a clear visual reference while complementing the distinctive black Hurricane enclosure.

Lockable Weatherproof Cover

The enclosure is lockable, helping to restrict unwanted access to the socket outlets. This can be particularly useful in shared, commercial or publicly accessible locations.

Flexible Cable Entry

The enclosure incorporates 8 x 20mm knockouts, giving installers multiple cable entry options and making it easier to route wiring to suit the installation position.

Where Can the H-BWS132S Be Used?

The Niglon H-BWS132S IP66 13A 2 Gang Switched Socket is designed for suitable indoor and outdoor installations where two protected socket outlets are required.
