    I seen somewhere not so long ago a plastic credit card size wire gauge. It had all different sized cut outs in it so you could offer up a conductor in order to correctly size it. cant find anything decent that's measured in mm. Its just to quickly size a conductor if in doubt

    Go to choice of white plastic accessories.

    My 1st choice is Click mode...What I like about the switches is you can change the modules so for example you can have an intermediate and 2 way switch on the same 2gang plate.
