Powermax 4-Gang Rectangular Switch
The Powermax 4-Gang 2-Way Switch facilitates high-density lighting circuit management within a standard 3×6 rectangular form factor. This electrical interface integrates four independent rocker mechanisms onto a single faceplate to minimize wall space requirements. Each internal module supports two-way switching logic. This allows users to control specific light loads from two different locations when paired with a secondary unit. The device operates on a standard 250V AC supply. It accommodates 10AX current ratings to handle inductive fluorescent loads without premature contact pitting. This component utilizes a flush-mount design compatible with standard 35mm deep back boxes. The internal architecture uses silver-nickel alloy contact points to ensure low electrical resistance. This hardware serves as a critical node in commercial electrical grids. It maintains circuit integrity through thousands of mechanical cycles.
Key Features
-
Multi-Point Control Logic
The internal circuitry allows for 1-way or 2-way wiring configurations across all four independent gangs. -
High-Impact Polycarbonate Construction
The exterior casing consists of UV-stabilized polycarbonate that resists thermal deformation and mechanical impact during operation. -
Terminal Port Engineering
- Large-bore terminal entries accommodate multiple 1.5mm or 2.5mm conductors.
- Captive terminal screws prevent hardware loss during overhead installation procedures.
- Brass terminal inserts provide high conductivity and corrosion resistance in humid environments.
-
Inductive Load Compliance
The 10AX rating ensures the switch handles the high inrush currents associated with LED drivers and fluorescent ballasts.

Why Choose Powermax 4-Gang Switch
-
The quad-gang layout reduces installation time by consolidating four control points into a single 3×6 back box.
-
Silver-nickel contacts extend the operational lifespan by reducing arcing during high-frequency switching cycles.
-
The 10AX rating provides a 25% safety margin over standard 10A switches for inductive lighting loads.
-
Standardized rectangular dimensions ensure compatibility with existing commercial electrical infrastructure and mounting brackets.

Impressive build quality. I used these for an office fit-out in Upper Hill and they handle the daily switching without any issues. The 2-way functionality is a big plus for the partitioned sections. Will be ordering more for the next floor.

It’s a decent switch for domestic use. The plastic finish is quite glossy which looks modern, though it picks up fingerprints easily. For a 4-gang unit at this price point, it’s a very fair deal. Delivery to Thika was also quite fast.

The Powermax brand is becoming a reliable choice for my rental units. These SW-PM4G26 models look neat on the wall and having 4 switches on one plate saves a lot of space in the living room area where we have different sets of downlights.

I installed these in my hallway and the 2-way feature works perfectly for controlling the lights from both ends of the corridor. The ‘click’ is very firm and doesn’t feel like those cheap switches that get stuck after a few months. Good quality for the price.

Bought five of these for a renovation project in Ruaka. My fundi mentioned that the wiring terminals are well-spaced, making the 4-gang connection much easier than other brands. The 3×6 size fits perfectly into the standard rectangular wall boxes I already had.

Good quality 3×6 switch. Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
