Powermax 4 Gang 2 Way
The Powermax 4 Gang Switch provides a high-density control interface for managing four separate lighting circuits from a single double-gang mounting point. This hardware utilizes a 2-way switching mechanism. This allows for integration into circuits where lights are controlled from two different locations. The faceplate consists of high-grade stainless steel with a brushed finish to withstand heavy use in commercial or industrial environments. Each rocker operates independently with a 10AX inductive load rating. This rating ensures the internal contacts handle the high inrush currents associated with modern LED drivers and fluorescent ballasts.
Key Features
-
Contact Architecture
Silver-nickel alloy contact points reduce electrical arcing and prevent contact welding during high-frequency operation. -
Terminal Engineering
- Captive terminal screws prevent hardware loss during field installation.
- Large-bore tunnel terminals support up to three 2.5mm² solid core conductors.
- Angled terminal entries facilitate easier cable management within shallow backboxes.
-
Load Management
The 10AX rating signifies the switch is tested for inductive loads up to 10 Amps without derating performance. -
Safety and Grounding
- Includes a dedicated earth terminal riveted directly to the metal faceplate for electrical continuity.
- Integrated moisture gasket protects internal components from wall dampness and plaster dust.

I bought these for my office renovation in Westlands and the brushed steel finish is very classy. It doesn’t show fingerprints easily like the glossy ones I had before. Controlling four different light sets from one plate has saved me a lot of wall space. Very solid build and the 2-way function works perfectly for the corridor lights.

Item arrived on time and well packaged. Looks much better on the wall than in the photos. Very happy with the aesthetic.

These Powermax switches are heavy duty. I replaced some old plastic ones in the sitting room and the difference is clear. It feels premium when clicking and the metal plate is quite thick. Good value for money compared to the cheap stuff you find in downtown shops.

The switch looks great and works well, but just a heads up for those doing their own installations—ensure your mounting box is deep enough. With a 4-gang setup, the wiring can get a bit tight behind the plate if the box is shallow. Otherwise, it is a very decent 2-way switch.
