Review: Great aestheticly pleasing light switch - I used this light switch to replace a white plastic 1 way light switch, it was extremely easy to wire up (I did turn the power off at the fuseboard first), it is made of plastic so it was unearthed which makes the job 10 times easier, it can also be used 2 ways but I didn't require this feature. It also looks even better being screwless, the black plate attached onto the front of the light switch, (the light switch does require screwing in and two screws are provided)
Review: Best, black switch on the market - One of the best looking black switch available on the market. High quality product. Recommend 100%.
