Brand choice

1. I like MK, but I wish that they didn't have the sloping upper part. Terminals will accommodate 12 mm². I also like Hager. I would much prefer that accessories have square rather than rounded corners. That's what I would put in at home, but if customer wants Screwfix's cheapest, they can have it.


2. Also MK, but they were an absolute nightmare for fancy sockets. The same innards, but apparently made to order. The 2 week lead time was 3 months in reality, which would put me off recommending them.


3. Chandelier from Murano. ? I have been very happy with JCC LED luminaires, but again, if the customer wants to spend less, so be it.


4. Somehow, I always feel that Wylex are cheap and cheerful. Perhaps that is because they look that way, but they do exactly what needs to be done. I have been a little disappointed by Schneider. Plenty of room in them, but IMHO the cover should be secured by something better than a couple of self-tappers. For 3-phase, I like Memshield - built like a battleship and wouldn't look out of place in one. I doubt that many of the SP boards get fitted in homes, but why not. BG make a very good 'garage' CU - cast rather than pressed.
