Powermax Brass 4-Gang Switch
The Powermax Brass 4 Gang switch assembly provides a multi-point control interface for complex lighting circuits in commercial and residential electrical systems. This unit integrates four independent rocker modules on a single square plate. Each mechanism supports 2-way operation. This configuration allows technicians to wire the hardware so users toggle specific light groups from two different locations. The solid brass construction offers superior durability compared to standard thermoplastic alternatives. Powermax applies a specialized electrophoresis coating to the surface. This protective layer prevents oxidation and maintains the metallic appearance in high-traffic environments. The internal engineering focuses on heavy-duty performance for modern lighting loads.
Key Features
-
Plate Metallurgy and Finish
The faceplate consists of a high-grade brass alloy that resists physical deformation and structural stress during installation. -
Contact Mechanism Engineering
- Silver-nickel alloy contact points reduce electrical arcing.
- The 10AX rating accommodates inductive loads from LED drivers.
- Spring-loaded rockers ensure consistent tactile feedback and engagement.
-
Terminal Architecture
The rear housing features large-capacity tunnel terminals that simplify the management of multiple 1.5mm or 2.5mm conductors. -
Environmental Resistance
- Electrophoresis lacquer prevents tarnishing from atmospheric moisture.
- Flame-retardant polycarbonate base provides high-temperature insulation.

Why Choose Powermax Brass 4-Gang Hardware
-
The silver-nickel contact points represent a critical engineering choice for longevity. This alloy resists the pitting caused by electrical arcing during high-frequency operation. Consequently, the switch maintains lower contact resistance over thousands of cycles. This reliability reduces maintenance overhead in large-scale commercial buildings. Facility managers prefer these components for their long-term stability. The 10AX rating provides a significant safety margin over standard residential 6A switches. This allows the hardware to handle the high inrush currents of modern LED drivers without failure. Standardizing on this multi-gang brass hardware simplifies procurement for large-scale infrastructure projects. The integrated earth terminal ensures the metallic exterior remains safe for all users. Captive terminal screws prevent component loss during site installation and expedite the wiring process for electrical contractors.

I replaced the old plastic switches in my living room with these Powermax brass ones. The 4-gang setup is very neat because I can control the main lights, the gypsum strips, and the porch from one point. Very heavy material, feels like it will last a lifetime. Highly recommended for a modern home.

Installed these in our new office in Westlands. The brass finish looks very professional compared to the standard white ones we see everywhere. Delivery was fast to our site. Just make sure your fundi uses a deep backbox because the 4-gang wiring can get a bit crowded inside.

Genuine Powermax quality. The clicks are solid and the finish is top notch.

I’ve used these for a client in Karen. The 2-way function works perfectly for the long corridor leading to the bedrooms. The brass plate doesn’t scratch easily during installation which is a plus for us installers. Good 10AX rating for standard domestic lighting.

The switch is quite beautiful and works well, but the brass is a bit more shiny/gold than it looked in the photo on my phone. It still looks good, but just be aware of the shade. Quality-wise, it is very sturdy.

Good value for money. It is hard to find 4-gang switches in this brass finish locally that aren’t overpriced. It has given my hallway a very premium look without spending too much. Happy with the purchase.
