Weatherproof Key switch

[John]

Our Scout Hut had a weatherproof key operated switch for the lights at the end of the drive. I believe it was made by Lewden and had a key which had a triangle cutout in it.

The switch has died or vandalised - it was too dark to see - although it has been playing up for a bit.

I am trying to find a replacement - any suggestions for a source?

What rating does it need to be, is it driving the lights directly, or is there a contactor?

This one is IP65 rated, and you can remove the key in either position

something like this be suable, with the key being retained by the unit unless you switch the lights off? look like you need to buy the switch part separately for these you have people leaving them on currently (well, before the switch broke!)?
