I wouldn't get too hung up on IP ratings for these as providing you don't bury it in a garden pond or swimming pool I think you'll find it's perfectly fine for outdoor use.

For IP66 protection (better protection against water, still needs to be raised) and includes a two socket extension, this would be safer, https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SMWPM02.html
14.30 (incl VAT)

You do come up with some unusual deals pennyfarthing.
This is a good price, but it worries me slightly when I see a 4G socket with no flex attached inside a weatherproof box - most likely for use outside. Someone out there will connect it to an ordinary piece of cable or flex and plug in into a 13A socket with no fault protection.

You can think what you like - that doesn't make it safe.

Bought one in August and put it in garden for pump and air pumps for fish ponds, no problem whatsoever. Have opened to checked and there was a drop of water got inside. Good price but not a good deal, price is permanent, not reduced in anyway, so no vote for me.
