It just occurred to me that Klik lacks shuttered pins - so industrial/
commercial only?


I choose to deliberately ignore in this case (the rule predates
Klik). It's quite difficult to make contact by sticking something
in the slots - it has to be very pointed and thin, or a bare wire.
I use these for kitchen lighting where the lights are attached
to the kitchen wall units, and you run a flex back to a Klik
wall plate, but you don't expect to be frequently plugging and
unplugging them (e.g. only if you are taking down the kitchen
units). You can pre-wire the cupboards before putting them up,
and then simply plug them in.


They work great - easy to change lights.

Currently I have a vertical 2G-47mm box with two MK grid cord-outlets
for lights & smoke.

I will add a Klik Architrave w/backbox above it.
The backbox will need side-entry, I suspect most do not, so it will be
hole-punch & grommet time. The ceiling will have to come down at some
point so it makes it *really* easy to unplug/refit/plug without
fighting screw terminals.
