Lorsque nous avons partagé notre grand garage en 2, l'électricien, à notre demande, a mis un câble pour ampoule côté le plus utilisé (réserve) et un autre devant la machine à laver mais avec un seul circuit, un seul interrupteur. À chaque fois les 2 ampoules s'allumaient dont une pour rien. Nous avons donc mis un interrupteur côté machine à laver. Nous avons renvoyé le 1er exemplaire pensant qu'il ne fonctionnait pas mais en fait il faut tirer très fort sur la corde ! C'est exactement le produit qu'il nous fallait pour notre usage.

I decided I would replace ALL the sockets and switching in my house after 40 years (well, I don't rush things) as a couple started to fail, but they were a cheap brand that builder put in, and I was never happy with them from the start.I have used MK switches (these are now made by Honeywell, a well respected name in industry), plugs etc for too many years to remember now, both in industry and household situations, so when it came to replacing all the ones in the house, MK was the brand I was going to use anyway.After replacing all the mains sockets and also the lighting switches, it then came down to replacing the two Ceiling Switches I have, one in the kitchen, one in the bathroom and two in the loft space.The bathroom one had already been replaced three times over the years (just with a couple of spare ones I had laid about at the time, NOT MK though) but they never felt or sounded right, they did feel cheap to start with.The first thing I noticed was the quality of these MK switches, they looked and felt really well made, especially when I compared it to the ones I took off.Fitting was easy, it was just a matter of a straight swap,as fortunately the holes in the old ones matched up with the MK ones, making the whole job really easy.After installing them, what a difference, they gave a nice satisfying 'click' as you pulled the cord to turn them on and off, so much better then the ones they replaced.I have deliberately left doing this review for 5 months, because of comments about these failing very quickly, either jamming or one person said it shattered when trying to remove the blank, I have no idea what he used to remove the blank though, but it obviously wasn't a suitable tool (no offence to the gentleman) or he used a big hammer - a very small nail punch or centre punch and a small hammer will do the trick to start with, then you can use a pair of small pliers to remove more to open it up... I have literally fitted hundreds of this type of switch and even the cheap ones never ever have one shatter.So all four of mine are replaced, but IF they do fail at any point because of a quality issue, rest assured I will definitely add an amendment to this, but I will be VERY surprised if I will need to do that.

Perfectly adequate may sound sadly underwhelming and unimpressive but this is exactly what this switch is aiming to be. It isn’t the prettiest one on offer, it isn’t the grandest, metallic looking one, it isn’t anything out of the ordinary. However, it’s simply a good quality practical solution to suit the job.It’s got a firm ‘click-clack’ sound when used, so not necessarily suited to someone hoping to use it without disturbing others but it’s clearly aimed at a reasonable budget level and that is exactly what I needed.You will need to drill your own hole in the backplate but otherwise easy and simple to fit
