Default Screw/wallplug size

I am replacing some old wall lights with some new Där fittings. I was
somewhat surprised to see that the wallplugs and screws supplied were of
different lengths. The wallplugs were 25mm x 5mm, and the screws 35mm x
3.5mm. The diameters match well, but why would you use a 35mm screw with
a 25mm wallplug?


As long as the hole is at least as deep as the total length of your
screw then there's no problem.
It's not like you have a high load trying to pull them out of the wall.
