Knightsbridge IP663G Outdoor Remote Switch Box, 230 V, 3G , Grey

Problem: sockets, switches manually Turing off garden lights, pond lights, water feature.Solution: Knightsbridge 3G Remote Switch Box.I am so impressed with the performance. The remote is radio frequency therefore not reliant on IR and not issues with light or line of view. I control my lights through the patio door with the blinds down without any issues. This unit makes it so easy now to turn the lights off without having to go out in the evening in the rain or cold.Wiring using multi string cables is very fiddly as the space is limited between cable clamp and terminals. the terminals are screw clamp terminals. The clamps do not make a clean passage for multi strand cables. I soldered the ends and this makes it much easier. I used a long nose rounded pliers to help with inserting the cables into the terminals. The PG20 glands I found to be slightly loose and these needed tightening, however I replaced these with flex conduit glands as I used flex conduits to protect the cables.The remote does require pairing. Before you close the lid, ensure you pair the remote. After pairing its so simple and so impressive.

This is hooked up at the pond. Having remote control is a huge benefit. From what I can gather, doesnt require LOS and works from a fair range. Does however need you to press the button inside box (top right) on initial setup to pair the remote. Seems like a really quality product and it's from a brand with a great reputation. This was only installed today, but I see no reason to have any doubts about its reliabilty. I have 3 way socket version, however the remote is standard and comes with 5 on/off switches as you can get bigger versions

Firstly this is a fantastic switch for garden lighting etc and the remote is powerful and works well. Beware though it will not control a 13 amp socket as it has internal fuses of 8, 2.5 and 2.5 amps respectively for the three output glands. You wont know this from the description. You also need outdoor cable ideally with solid wires as the internal connections are quite small and finicky so if your using armoured cable with stranded wires its very difficult to connect. that said if wired properly it works well and the supplier ML fittings are absolutely superb in their customer service. the internal fuses were blowing as I thought it would support a 13 amp plug and the fuses are not standard - they cannot be bought in normal electrical supplier stores. One email and a live webchat to Ml and I was speaking to their technical support expert who explained the issue and sent me replacement fuses overnight. Very pleased with it but be careful in what you expect from it.

Far superior product compared to others made outside of the UK. Strong,reliable,and extremely easy to set up. Will use Knightsbridge’s again, for anything electrical

To minimise time and swearing, cable out this box BEFORE offering it up to the wall. As others have noted, the housing should be larger, as should the connection blocks on the PCB. Cable ends will need to be tinned or be fitted with ferrules to have any chance of making the connections before you die. Despite these poor design decisions, the unit does work, and works well, eventually.

I’m sure everyone has experienced heavy rain, storms, heavy wind this year. I was amazed by this product. It works continually without a problem.I don’t normally write a review on any products but this company deserves a mention. Absolutely brilliant!. I didn’t mention I bought this in 2021!!

It's a solid, well made product. Easy to setup, really clever waterproof gasket system that accommodated cables of different sizes. Love that this has a remote control though having to programme it / 'learn' the remote was fiddly and I'm not sure why this isn't done when the item is boxed and shipped?

I bought this remote control box to control outdoor lights in the garden. It took me sometime to install, once installed the box would not operate. Checked on line instructions which said that the remote is already set up. With a new battery in the red light came on but no power to the outlet terminal- checked with a volt meter - Instructions eventually found on how to 'match the remote to the box, easy operation and cure the problem.
