Customers say
Customers find the switch socket to be of good quality with a screwless design that adds to its appearance, and appreciate how it fits very flush to the wall. The functionality receives mixed reviews – while some say it works well, others report it stops working immediately after installation. The build quality and durability are also mixed, with some praising its solid construction while others note flimsy lugs and multiple units breaking. The screw length receives mixed feedback, with customers appreciating that the screws are hidden but noting they are very short.

Great quality and look the part, but can be a tight squeeze to fit!
Great quality wall sockets. The finish of these are far better than most you get and the colour is true to images. Installation can be a bit fiddly with the metal back boxes due to the wiring mounts not having much clearance at the top, however was still able to fit in good time with a few minor adjustments to my back boxes. If you are using plastic back boxes this won’t be a problem. Face plates are sturdy when fitted and over all look great. I’ll probably end up getting the USB versions of these in the future.

Neat and slim
Really tidy face plate â the design is slim and sits nice and flush on the wall, giving a clean, modern finish. The switch has a satisfying click and the build quality feels solid, as you’d expect from BG.Overall, a quality product that looks good and works well. Would happily buy again.

Great quality and a sleek look!
These switches are amazing – the installation is very easy, and even if your screwdriver slips and scratches it, it does not matter since you then apply the faceplate over it. It replaced a cheap dimmer from a supermarket, as I use it to dim around 10-15 individual LEDs, and there are no issues at all.

Triple Wall Dimmer Switch
Triple Wall Dimmer Switch, it came with all the necessary bits. It was only very slightly smaller than the dimmer switch it was to replace; once fitted the slight difference in size is of no consequence, in my case. It looks the same as the original, which was important, for me, as it had to match the other existing switches visible in the area.The quality of this replacement, its response time and its click On and Off is much better than the one before. In short it is a good quality product much better than the one it replaced. I thought the price was reasonable.

Cette prise est de bonne qualité mais c’est un modèle anglais. Je ne sais pas trop comment elle peut être encastrée chez nous. Je n’ai pas vu de trou pour les vis. Ce n’est pas grave dans mon cas car j’ai un peu triché en l’achetant.Le transformateur ne s’active qu’à l’insertion d’une prise. Il buzze un peu. La tension est assez élevée par contre 260 volts en alternatif à vide ou sous 10 watts de charge. 20 watts de charge grand maximum pour ce modèle.C’est pour le bricolage que j’ai sélectionné cette prise. Elle a été intégré dans une boite. Cette prise rasoir, comme celles des hôtels, intègre une transformateur d’isolement qui permet de ne pas s’électrocuter quand on travaille sur un appareil sous tension. J’ai bien sûr vérifié l’isolement sous 1000V puis en connectant directement la phase puis le neutre de sortie à la terre : ni étincelle, ni déclenchement du différentiel, ni déclenchement du disjoncteur. Si j’ai un potentiel de 30V, je n’ai pas de passage de courant.

Enchufe para la pared para empotrar de acero pulido con dos tomas una de 120 voltios y otra de 220 voltios perfecto para algunas maquinillas de viaje o para aparatos de baño americanos que usan 120 voltios

A l’air bien mais de très mauvaise qualité. J’ai récemment acheté le variateur unique. Les vis retenant les fils étaient si serrées que les sommets étaient dénudés en essayant de les retirer. Ensuite, j’ai découvert que l’appareil ne fonctionnait pas de toute façon. J’aurais aimé lire les critiques d’abord, mais qui croirait que quelqu’un puisse vendre de telles ordures ?
