M.K. Light Switches.

I have just been fitting some customer bought M.K. sockets and light switches; white Logic style.


I do not like the captive screws as they are initially very difficult to turn and you never quite know when they are fully tightened. I also do not like the very shallow light switch terminals that allow wires to come out, especially if twisted together. I ended up using a battery screwdriver to tighten the screws as my hands were starting to hurt.


Others' views please?

    We use MK a lot in commercial and industrial, I personally find the stuff great, admittedly the grid switch module connections could be a little deeper, but as for the the FCUs are great to install especially as all connections are in a nice straight line and you don’t have to keep twisting the accessory around to find which terminal is which, definitely wouldn’t be twisting cables together though, or using battery tools to tighten terminals.
