Have a look on the IET (IEE) forums too - there's lots of comments about makes - remmeber, proper sparkies get called back if stuff dies after a year, so there is a fairly balanced opinion there. Ah, hadn't been there before - thanks. Can't find that much comment on the cheaper brands - but several threads about how MK and Crabtree aren't the gold standard they once were. Interesting forum though. Cheers, David. |

Interesting forum though. Cheers, David. Screwfix used to do Superswitch white moulded range, but that seems to have gone and there's now Varilight that looks very similar. If Varilight is the same as Superswitch (just a change of name), then I found that Superswitch had positive, quiet action, nicely rounded but not overstated profile and seemed to be of reasonable quality. http://www.screwfix.com/cats/A482046...ht-White-Range -- Peter. 2x4 - thick plank; 4x4 - two of 'em. |
