Outdoor electrical boxes and outdoor electrical junction boxes protect your switches and outlets from weather and moisture. Made from high-grade plastic, these waterproof electrical boxes

Outdoor power strips come in a variety of sizes, from small three-outlet models up to large 10-outlet beasts. Unlike indoor models, these rugged, weather-resistant power strips can endure extreme temperatures and even downpours. Understanding what weather conditions an outdoor power strip is rated to handle is key to purchasing the right one.
Those with an IPX4 rating are able to endure light rain and splashes of water, which is adequate for using the power strip outdoors under a covered patio or porch. Outdoor power strips with a high IPX6 rating can withstand continued exposure to heavy rain, making them suitable for use in places where there is no protection from the elements.
How many strands of electric lights, power tools, or other electrical appliances an outdoor power strip can handle is determined by the number of outlets it has. Electrical strip outlets can range from as few as three outlets for smaller power strips up to as many as 10.
Outdoor electrical boxes and outdoor electrical junction boxes protect your switches and outlets from weather and moisture. Made from high-grade plastic, these waterproof electrical boxes are lightweight, easy to mount and very durable. Some electrical boxes come with switch or outlet connections included for a direct connection.
That means connections won’t short if wires come in contact with the box. Both aluminum and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) boxes can withstand external use. Outdoor electrical boxes and outdoor electrical junction boxes protect your switches and outlets from weather and moisture.
Some outdoor power strips are Wi-Fi ready, allowing them to connect to your home network. These smart power strips can be controlled via a smartphone app, which is ideal for turning on and off holiday lighting displays.
