I have been looking for a product like this to switch my pond pumps and pond lights on and off. The remote makes it soo simple to turn what I want on and when. The remote also works from quite a considerable distance away (better than expected)! Highly recommended product, thanks

I needed a remote switch for 5 things on my pond. The electrician fitted the 5 gang KnightsBridge unit and it's excellent! I can turn the waterfall off when it's windy without going out!

Mike from United Kingdom asks

Hi. I have recently bought & installed the 3-way version of this Switch. It works great. If I bought a second switch, would the controllers clash and the remote controls try to control both switches? Best regards. Mike Finch

Electrical World Replies:

Hi Mike, Each remote is specific to each individual box so the controllers would not clash or try to control both switches. Many thanks

John from United Kingdom asks

I was thinking of using this in my garage so when i come home at night to bring on the garage light and also the outside light is that ok to do that?

Electrical World Replies:

Yes we know these have been used to do this and many other applications . We have known customers to wire sirens, pumps, lights and many more items through this. Just check the max wattage of the appliance and make sure it doesn't exceed that of the switch box.

Peter from United Kingdom asks

In the event of a loss of power e.g. a power cut, when power is reconnected does the switch box resume the supply to the connected devices i.e. Is the supply latched? For example if a pond pump is powered from the switch box, following a resumption of power after a cut, will the pump still operate or will it need switching on via the remote?

Electrical World Replies:

The Units are fitted with “Un-Latching” relays, therefore, once the power is reconnected, the Hand Controller would need to select the device to be powered again.

Phil from United Kingdom asks

I’m installing 5 outdoor brick lights. Does each light go into the box or can they be daisy chained off one connector in the box .

Electrical World Replies:

Hello, What wattage are the brick lights? thanks

Tom from United Kingdom asks

David from United Kingdom asks

Hi, do you have to be in a line of sight between the remote and controller for it to work?

Electrical World Replies:

Hello, line of sight is not required, this product works on radiowaves. (freq 3.36 MHz), thanks

Stephen from United Kingdom asks

is the remote 433mhz or 488mhz

Electrical World Replies:

Hello, thanks for the question. The remote is 433mhz.

David from United Kingdom asks

Hi - the recent freezing weather in the UK seems to have stopped my unit from working. I've changed the fuses & the remote control battery but still no power. Any suggestions? Thanks

Electrical World Replies:

Hello, I am sorry to hear this, By getting in touch with our customer service team via live chat or email and providing your order number they will be able to assist you further. Thanks

Steve from United Kingdom asks

The review states that the remote has a good range. Can you please advise if this includes going through concrete walls. Many thanks

Electrical World Replies:

This unit operates via a radio signal (rather than infra red which is more directional.) As long as you are within the range of the unit it will work but walls etc will reduce the range somewhat. A site test is the only real way to know if the range will be acceptable as like all radio signals range will vary based on various external influences. The manufacturer has provided an approx range of 20 meters. We have been told by some customers this can be much more and others have said it worked 15 meters away through their kitchen window!

Igor from United Kingdom asks

Hi, is it possible to purchase an additional remote control, and control the box from both controllers? Also, if the original remote gets damaged, would I also need to replace the switch box?

Electrical World Replies:

Hello, additional remotes are not available for sale but if you lost a remote you can pair up a replacement one. In the past we have been able to get a few remotes from the manufacturer but this is not a sure thing. Thank you for your enquiry.

David from United Kingdom asks

I installed one of these for garden lighting and the customer was very happy. She now says she has lost the remote control and has asked me to get a replacement. Would you be able to get one for me please?

Electrical World Replies:

Hello, remotes are not widely available for these as a spare but we have managed to get two. They are £19.90 each - if you can contact our sales team they can process this for you. Thank you for your enquiry.

Jim from United States asks

What is the largest wire gauge you can use to connect equipment to the boxes?

Electrical World Replies:

We would recommend not using any bigger than 1.5mm, although we are aware of a customer who says he successfully installed 2.5 mm into the connections - but we cannot confirm this. Thank you for your enquiry.

Colin from Cyprus asks

Hi. Long story but..... to avoid too much cabling can I use a common neutral & earth and use the switch to just switch the 5 different live connections? Thanks

Electrical World Replies:

Hello, we have contacted the manufacturer who has advised that, as the outputs are double pole, you will need a separate Neutral connection to each. Thank you for your enquiry.

Mike from United Kingdom asks

Cani run a lazy spa hot tub and some lighting off your 5 way remote control outside box ? Thanks

Electrical World Replies:

Hello Mike, this depends on the total wattage required by the installation. Please advise and we will answer the enquiry.

Sam from United Kingdom asks

Hi, Would it be possible to use a sonoff RF bridge to convert into WiFi remote control so you can then use your phone/Alexa to control the switches? I believe this unit works with 433 MHz. It would be great if we could convert the RF to WiFi and lose the remote? Cheers, Sam

Electrical World Replies:

Hello Sam, I am sorry but I cannot see how you could do this without modification and doing so would void any warranty. Thank you for your enquiry.

Stephen from Ireland asks

Hi ,Can you connect an external antenna to extend the range of remote ? Thanks Stephen

Electrical World Replies:

Hello Stephen, the aerial is soldered into the board and you would not be able to connect another aerial to it without voiding the manufacturer's warranty. Thank you for your enquiry.

Mije from United Kingdom asks

Can you buy a second remote or a wall mounted switch to control the junction box

Electrical World Replies:

Hello Mije, it is possible to get a second remote for these switch boxes and according to KnightsBridge they will pair up ok - but unfortunately we do not stock these remotes separately. Thank you for your enquiry.
