Looking for an outdoor centre off switch (not retractive) and find myself short on options.

I have a lot of Gewiss enclosures to which a centre off switch can be fitted, but would prefer to avoid those clear membrane covers that will eventually leak.

Other switches used for this will be Hamilton Elemento, but the range doesn't extend to this switch and nor do those of other manufacturers that I've searched - even MK Masterseal modular range was a bust!

If all else fails I can use 2g, but would prefer to keep this simple and wonder if anyone knows of a suitable switch?
 
Could easily be done with a rotary switch if that is a suitable alternative

Good point. On one hand I'd rather stick with rocker switches to keep everything looking similar. On the other, a rotary switch would avoid relying on labelling to avoid the possibility of this being left on accidentally when photcell switches.

Edit: reading more closely I now see that all grid plus modules can be used in masterseal enclosures. Seems the answer had been staring me in the face.

Similar to MK which I've ordered. I hadn't realised the whole grid plus range of switches can be fitted - seems odd that they make some with specific part numbers for masterseal.
