  • On the subject of faulty gear.

    Contactum pull switches - seem to fail regularly.

    MK switches and socket outlets, including their outdoor ranges - absolute rubbish, got sick of swapping out Logic rage light switches and Masterseal outdoor socket outlets.

    Eterna/Enlite LED floodlights - don't seem to last 5 minutes - avoid, along with any wholesaler's 'Own brand'.

    The older 70s/80s/MK/Crabtree/Wylex stuff was way superior in terms of simple white moulded accessories.

    Contactum consumer units - the old plastic clamshell lids - awful. Lost count of how many are missing or broken off.

    Wylex 60/100A metalclad switchefuses - terrible terminal arrangements, with 2 different sized Allen head grub screws for mains and earth connection pts.

    Hager sockets - not a fan, don't like the closely grouped centrally-located wiring terminals - makes it hard to seat the accessory when screwing front back.

    BG - RCBO & RCD failures.

    I could go on!
