Review: Good build quality, looks nice, just be careful with the size of cables you use................... - I have had a pond in the back garden for quite a few years now, fitted with a pump and a UV steriliser. The electrical items were plugged into a four way adapter strip inside a "dry box" style unit. All of these dry box units state that you shouldn't use them for a permanent installation. I can see why now. With all the monsoon rain we have had mine filled up with quite a lot of water resulting in a loud bang! Hence the reason I was looking for a safer and more professional solution in the form of the Blagdon Garden Power Switch Box. Things I like about the box: (1) Appearance and build quality IMHO I think the box is more attractive than most similar units I have seen. Each of the switched outlets is illuminated with an attractive red or green LED to indicate that it is powered up or actually turned on. (2) The box has a three year guarantee. A good sign of confidence in the product. (3) The box comes with a small screwdriver to make the cable connections (4) The main circuit board can be removed from the case by just removing one large screw in the top centre. This makes it much easier to connect the cables. (5) Blagdon are a well established company and offer genuine support from their UK website including spare parts although I did struggle to find any available online. (6) The box has a removable back bracket. This makes fixing it to a fence etc easier and reduces the risk of water ingress by not having to drill holes into the main casing. (7) The box comes with a sheet of stickers so you can label each of the individual switches. Things I Don't Like About the Switch Box: (1) The manual is really too small. The text is tiny and hard to read. (2) You have to be aware of the limitations in respect of cable size (In fairness this applys to other switches as well) The manual says that cables of between 6-9mm OD are suitable. I wanted to connect my garden lights transformer but I couldn't because the cable was too small. The rubber seal would not crush down sufficiently to create a watertight seal. It's a shame they don't supply different rubber seals so as to accommodate thinner cables. Also the holes are the connector blocks on the circuit board are quite small. I had no trouble in connecting the pump and UV unit but the main cable feed in had a thicker mult-strand copper connector that was too big to easily fit into the connector block.
Review: Overall an Excellent Choice - Received the item around 2pm and within an hour had installed it and got it working; the design is well thought out with the control board being able to be removed to aid cable fitting and the easy fit box mounting backing plate; it is true, however, that you need to allow a little slack cable to enable de-mounting and cable removal/installation. The only slight negative is that the construction of the board is a little flimsy around the LED light carrier where one of the securing screws was loose and would not tighten back, however I was able to easily repair this, and, even if I could not repair it, I doubt it would have impeded the normal operation of the unit. I note that previous reviewers criticised the fact it would not take an armoured cable, however it clearly states the accepted cable sizes both in the listing, box and in the instructions and is primarily due to having to be connected to an RCD and ideally plugged into such. I in fact plugged this unit into my existing twin RCD weatherproof socket, located near to my pond, and meant I could run 3 pond devices ( pump, heater & air pump), easily controlling them without the need to open the weatherproof enclosure, during maintenance etc, leaving one socket free for additional kit like a pond vac etc. Moving on to the other reported issue of buttons sticking, this is due to the necessarily tight fit to the outer casing of the rubberised buttons and dirt can catch the casing making the button stick and obviously a new unit will be stiff until worn in a little. This can be simply overcome by a small smear of silicone grease or vaseline to the button sides which gives just the right lubrication to enable reliable operation; in time dirt will build up so just wipe clean and re apply the silicone grease or vaseline and there you go! It is not a design floor but a periodic maintenance issue. In conclusion I feel this control box is overall an excellent choice for safely running multiple devices with the convenience of switching them on and off easily with clear LED indication lights signalling what is on or off and what has a power feed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I run a double outdoor socket, deckights possibly an outdoor electric heater from this as long as I stay between the max voltage per outlet?**
A: The answer to this will be amps rather than voltage. How many amps will the heater in particular consume? Maybe I'm wrong but I can't believe an outdoor heater would be less than 3Kw which would draw 13 amps (4.5 amps per 1Kw) which is the limit on a uk domestic ring main. Adding to this load with other devices risks, at best circuit trip on an RCD protected circuit, at worst fire in an unprotected circuit. Please consult a certificated electrician before embarking on your scheme.

**Q: Just bought a Blagdon 5 in 1 3000 and noted the two cables for connecting, one 3 core the other 2. Is it in order to connect the 2 core to the box?**
A: Yes as long as you connect a mains earth.

**Q: Hi will 0.75 cable be ok from mains via rcd as 1.5 cable diameter will not fit into gland screw**
A: I used 1.5 butyl round cable or you could get away with 1.0 round cable. 0.75 is a bit on the small side I would say. Try 1.0 👍🏿

**Q: Why does my box only work when I continue to 
Press the buttons it’s a new product and 
Has a fault**
A: With both my Powers are Switchbox, the buttons require a firm press a then you can feel a slight 'click' and then the switch locks ON until you press it firmly again to switch it off. I assume it was designed that way to prevent accidental operation. I have had mine several years and they've worked perfectly but they do require as I stated a definite form push on the button to operate it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tricky and redious to wire up
*by L***T on 1 July 2026*

i bought the four way box to replace two boxes that where 25 years old. The new box is well designed to be waterproof. It is supplied with a selection of labels t hat I assume are suppose to be self adhesive, but I had to glue them on. The Blagdon label had come unstuck and nothing will induce it to stay on, so it remains unbranded. It helps that the circuit board can be removed. Indeed, it would be impossible ro wire it up without. In ideal circumstances, each cable would be long enough to thread through its compression gland with lots of play. One could sit at a comfy table in the summer sunshine and have it all finished in half an our or so. Then with it all nicely wired up, you could deploy the lights, pumps, UV filter or whatever, after the box is put back together and mounted on its post, fence or wall. Real life isn't like that. If like me, you're replacing older switch boxes, chances are you'll be working with at least one short lead. Even with all the cable clamps off, there will be a limit to how freely you can move the circuit board. Blagdon have chosen to use terminals that clamp well but are difficult to push the stripped end of the wire into place. In retrospect, I should have soldered the stripped ends to make them easier to push into the terminals. As it was, I ended up with increasingly frayed wires and frayed nerves. It is now completed and working, but it was a tedious process.
