Product overview
Commel outdoor switches and sockets stand out for their reliable manufacturing quality and clean, modern design. This surface-mounted unit combines a 2P+F protective earthed socket with a practical two-way (changeover) switch in a single, horizontal white housing, making it a space-saving solution for utility areas.
The neutral white finish blends easily with most wall colours and building styles, so it works just as well in garages and basements as on covered terraces, workshops or storage rooms.
Key features
- IP55 protection rating – Designed to withstand dust and water jets, so it can be installed in very humid environments or outdoors in appropriately protected locations.
- Surface-mounted design – Ideal for retrofitting where in-wall wiring is impractical, such as existing masonry, garages or auxiliary buildings.
- 2P+F socket outlet – Standard protective earthed socket for connecting common electrical devices.
- Two-way (changeover) switch – Suitable for controlling lighting circuits from multiple locations as part of a properly designed installation.
- Tool-free, screwless system – The innovative screwless mechanism allows fast assembly and secure closure of the housing, helping to reduce installation time for professionals.
Construction and durability
The housing is engineered for long-term use in demanding conditions. Rubber cable glands positioned at key points on the enclosure help maintain the IP55 rating by sealing cable entries and reducing the risk of moisture ingress.
- On single units, there are rubber inlets at the bottom, top and rear, offering flexible cable routing options.
- On double units, bottom and top rubber inlets are provided for tidy, protected cabling.
These design details support a neat, professional finish while helping to protect the internal components from environmental influences.
Application examples
