Powermax BSR 2-Gang Switch
The Powermax BSR Black Switch provides a high-performance electrical interface for dual-circuit control in commercial and residential power systems. It supports 10AX current loads at a nominal voltage of 250V AC. This specific configuration allows for 2-way operation. Technicians utilize this feature to control a single load from two separate locations. The unit integrates into standard electrical infrastructure using conventional wiring protocols. Its modular design ensures compatibility with existing BSR series mounting hardware and accessories.
The external plate utilizes high-density polycarbonate. This resin provides high impact resistance and thermal stability. The matte black pigment is integrated directly into the material. This prevents surface scratching from revealing underlying colors or textures. The material includes UV-stabilizing agents. These agents prevent polymer degradation when exposed to indirect sunlight in office environments. This ensures the structural integrity of the faceplate over long-term deployment cycles.
The internal switching mechanism employs silver-nickel alloy contact points. These contacts resist pitting and welding during high-inrush current events. This is particularly important when controlling LED drivers or inductive fluorescent ballasts. The 10AX rating signifies the device handles inductive loads effectively without premature contact failure. The rocker action provides a positive break-before-make transition. This ensures complete circuit isolation during the switching phase to prevent internal arcing.
Terminal blocks are constructed from solid brass for maximum conductivity. They feature a funnel-entry design to guide stripped conductors into the clamp. This design reduces the risk of stray wire strands causing short circuits behind the plate. The terminals accept up to two 2.5mm² cables or one 4.0mm² cable. Captive M3.5 screws ensure the fastening hardware remains attached to the terminal housing during the installation process. This prevents the loss of small components in complex work environments.
This hardware meets the requirements of BS EN 60669-1 standards. It undergoes rigorous testing for insulation resistance and dielectric strength. The design includes a protective shroud over the live components. This enhances safety for the installer during the mounting process. The unit fits into a standard 35mm deep back box for optimal wire clearance. Screw caps are provided to obscure the mounting hardware after installation is complete.

Really brings a modern feel to the living room. Hard to find nice black switches in Nairobi that actually feel durable. Good value for money compared to the high-end boutique shops.

I’m an electrical contractor and I’ve been installing these Powermax BSR units in a renovation project in Westlands. Clients are tired of the basic white switches and this black series is a great alternative that isn’t too expensive. The 2-gang setup is sturdy and the click feels solid, not flimsy like some of those cheap brands in the downtown shops. Delivery to site was fast, arrived the next day via rider.

Used these for the hallway upstairs. The 2-way function works perfectly so I can switch the lights from both ends of the corridor. The matte black doesn’t show fingerprints easily which is a plus for a house with kids. Only gave 4 stars because the screws provided were a bit short for my deep wall boxes, but my fundi managed.

The black finish looks very premium on my white walls. Much better than the usual white plastic switches we see everywhere. Solid build for the price.
