Review: Decent quality and easy to wire - I chose this switch because of the 'rounded off' look and the small size of the rockers themselves. That's down to personal preference of course, but I like how it looks on the wall now it's fitted. It was a simple replacement job so I didn't need the instructions, just copied the wiring from the old switch. Useful tip if you're replacing an existing switch: take a photo on your phone of the wiring on the old switch, makes life much easier when wiring up the new one. The fittings inside the switch are metal where it's needed and decent quality plastic where it's not. The screws that hold the wires are easy to access and feel secure once tightened. It came with four mounting screws, long and short, one pair of which should suit pretty much any wall box. The switch action feels clean and positive. It came with tiny covers to hide the screw heads when fitted, a nice touch which makes a big improvement to the aesthetics when compared with other switches in the house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a plate surround that goes with this item?**
A: No plate included

**Q: Can you buy the little white plastic things that come with is switch to hide the screw**
A: you should find 2 spare clipped to the back of the switch

**Q: hi i want to replace my single switch with this wich is connected to light in hallway and connect an outdoor light as well how easy ???**
A: I have done exactly the same, so it only depends upon the wiring of the house. It should be easy, they may have separate circuits, or be using a common return. Earth of course is required for both circuits. Apart from that I do not know what else to tell you. Best of luck.

**Q: Hi there, does this switch come with the screws to attach it?**
A: Yes the screws came with it (as far as I remember), but for some reason the plastic plugs that cover the screw holes were missing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap, positive click switch
*by S***1 on 10 February 2020*

This was a great value double switch, the same wiring location as my current switch so was literally 5 minute job to isolate power and move the wires one by one. Nice positive click to the switch and far better than the one it replaced in out 15 year old house. The kit comes with 2 screws and 6 screw cover plastic lugs which is a very nice touch. Negative and stopped it getting 5 star on install, the screws are just not long enough - i used my existing screws but not ideal really when you get a kit if you fitting in a brand new location.
