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?


The correct answer is to throw the screws and plugs away, then go to
your toolbox and get a pair of your decent ones...

Me: Fischer UX6 x 35 or UX6 x 50 work extremely well with 5mm screws
(will take smaller).
