Powermax 1-Gang Switch
The Powermax 1-Gang 2-Way Switch provides a reliable solution for lighting control in residential and commercial electrical installations. This SW-PMBM1G2W model features a matte black finish on a standard 86mm plate. It supports 10AX inductive loads. Terminal capacity handles up to 4 x 1.0mm² or 2 x 1.5mm² cables. This component allows for two-point switching configurations. The internal mechanism utilizes silver-nickel alloy contacts to ensure long-term conductivity.
The SW-PMBM1G2W integrates into standard back boxes with a minimum depth of 25mm. Its 2-way internal circuitry enables multi-location control, facilitating efficient lighting management in stairwells or corridors. The unit operates within a standard voltage range of 220V to 250V AC at 50/60Hz. Engineers specify this module for its high-grade polycarbonate construction, which offers flame retardancy and resistance to impact. The matte surface reduces glare and resists fingerprint marking during operation.
Wiring terminals feature a captive screw design. This prevents screw loss during installation in tight enclosures. The terminal markings are molded into the rear housing for clear identification. This switch meets BS EN 60669-1 compliance standards for safety and performance. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing for mechanical endurance, typically rated for 40,000 operations. The low-profile plate design ensures a flush fit against wall surfaces.
This single-gang control point manages one circuit independently. Its 10AX rating makes it suitable for fluorescent and LED lighting loads. The internal rocker mechanism provides a positive tactile response. This feedback confirms circuit engagement or disengagement. The black matt finish is applied using an electrostatic process for uniform coverage. This finish withstands chemical cleaning agents used in commercial maintenance.
The SW-PMBM1G2W serves as a fundamental building block for modern electrical infrastructure. It accommodates both surface and flush mounting requirements. Procurement managers benefit from the bulk carton packaging of 100 units. This streamlining supports large-scale project deployments. The physical dimensions conform to standard single-gang apertures. This compatibility simplifies retrofitting in existing installations.

Decent switch for the price. It looks modern on the wall compared to the old square ones we had. The white is a bit glossy so it picks up fingerprints easily, but a quick wipe fixes it. Does the job well.

I bought several units of this SW-PMBM1G2W model for a small office renovation in Westlands. The 10AX rating is perfect for the LED panels we installed. Most people don’t realize how important a good 2-way switch is until they have to walk across a dark room to turn off the lights. The terminals are well-spaced which made the wiring work much faster for my fundi. Very reliable.

Good quality switch and arrived on time. Easy to fit and the clicking mechanism is very smooth.

The finish on this Powermax switch is very clean. Used it for the corridor lights where we needed 2-way control. It feels sturdy, not like those cheap plastics that crack during installation. Good value for money.
