BSR Gold 2 Gang Switch
The Powermax BSR Gold Switch provides reliable electrical control in residential and commercial infrastructure. This dual-gang unit supports two-way circuit configurations for multi-location switching. It features a metallic gold finish over a high-impact polycarbonate frame. The internal contacts use silver alloy for improved conductivity and arc resistance. This specific model utilizes a two-gang layout. Each gang operates independently. The two-way functionality allows users to control one light source from two different locations. This setup is common in hallways and staircases.
The internal architecture features brass terminals with captive screws. These screws prevent loss during installation. The terminals accommodate up to 4mm² solid or stranded copper conductors. Each contact point uses a silver-nickel alloy. This material choice reduces contact resistance. It also minimizes arcing during high-load switching events. The exterior plate consists of UV-stabilized polycarbonate. This material resists yellowing and mechanical impact. The gold finish is applied via a multi-layer coating process. This ensures durability against frequent physical contact. The switch rockers provide tactile feedback upon actuation. This feedback confirms positive contact engagement.
Installation requires a minimum back box depth of 25mm. The unit fits standard 86mm x 86mm square mounting patterns. Included fixing screws feature a matching gold finish. The rear housing includes clear terminal markings for L1, L2, and Common connections. These markings simplify wiring for electrical technicians. Thermal management is a core design priority. The switch housing dissipates heat generated during continuous operation. It meets international safety standards for flame retardancy. The mechanism undergoes testing for over 40,000 switching cycles. This ensures long-term reliability in high-traffic environments.

Installed this on my staircase landing. The gold finish looks very premium compared to the standard white ones we usually see. The 2-way switching works perfectly with the downstairs unit. Fast delivery to Thika.

Solid switches. The clicks feel firm and not plasticky like the cheap versions in the market. Good value for the price.

Used these for a client’s office renovation in Westlands. They wanted something that stands out from the usual office look. These Powermax BSR Gold units are quite stylish. Wiring was straightforward for my fundi. Having two gangs in one plate saved us space on the wall. Will definitely be ordering more for the next project.

The switch works well, but the gold is a bit more shiny than it looked in the photos. It’s still a nice product and fits the 2-way setup I needed for the master bedroom, just be sure it matches your other fittings.

Impressive build quality. I was worried the gold might scratch easily during installation but it’s held up well. Delivery to Eldoret took just two days, which was reasonable. Happy with the purchase.

Finally replaced my old broken switches. This 2-gang gold unit looks very smart in my sitting room. The 2-way feature is a lifesaver for the long corridor.
