Product Information
Full details
This Lieber Grey outdoor switch is designed for homeowners needing a reliable, weatherproof control for their exterior lighting. Its key benefit is robust IP66 protection against dust and water, ensuring longevity in harsh conditions. A potential consideration is its single-gang configuration, limiting it to controlling one fixture or zone.

FAQs
What does IP66 rating mean?
IP66 means the switch is 'dust tight' (6) and protected against strong jets of water (6), making it highly suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.
Can this switch be used indoors?
While it can be used indoors, its primary design and features (weatherproofing) are optimized for outdoor environments. It will function indoors but may be over-specified for typical indoor applications.
How do I wire the neon indicator light?
The neon indicator can typically be wired to illuminate when the switch is in the 'on' position or the 'off' position, depending on how it is connected within the circuit. Refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with the product for precise instructions.
What is the maximum load this switch can handle?
This switch has a 20 Ampere (20A) rating, making it suitable for a variety of outdoor lighting circuits. Always ensure the total load of the connected light(s) does not exceed this rating.
Does this switch come with a warranty?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's information for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
Can I use this switch with a standard UK mains plug?
This is a hard-wired switch designed for permanent installation into a lighting circuit, not for use with a standard plug and socket.
Troubleshooting
Switch not turning light on/off
Verify that the main power supply is on. Check all wire connections are secure and correctly made according to the wiring diagram. Ensure the light fixture itself is functional.
Neon indicator light is not illuminated
Confirm that the neon indicator is correctly wired according to the instructions. Check if the power is on and the circuit is functioning. The indicator may be wired to only be on when the light is off, or vice-versa, depending on the installation.
Water ingress into the switch housing
Turn off power immediately. Inspect the enclosure for any cracks or damage. Ensure all cable entries are sealed correctly and that the lid is securely closed with its seal intact. Replace the switch if significant damage is found.
Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure no debris has entered the switch mechanism. If installed outdoors, check for corrosion. A gentle clean with a dry cloth might resolve minor issues. If the problem persists, consider replacing the switch.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent weatherproofing (IP66 rated) for durability.
- Integrated neon indicator for visual feedback.
- Suitable for outdoor lighting circuits due to 20A rating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure power is switched off at the mains before installation. Use the knockouts on the sides and base to feed cables into the switch enclosure. Connect wiring according to standard electrical practices for a 2-way switch. Secure the switch to a suitable mounting surface. Once installed and wired, restore power and test functionality.
Compatibility: This switch is designed for 230V AC electrical systems and is suitable for controlling outdoor lighting circuits. It is ideal for use with low-power LED garden lights up to higher-load security lighting, provided the total load does not exceed the 20A rating.
Care: Clean the exterior of the switch with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically check that the seals are intact and that no debris has entered the enclosure, particularly around cable entry points, to maintain its IP66 rating.
