Click Mode Drop in Quality?

Does anyone use Legrand accessories anymore, fitted hundreds back in the day of flat pack new builds.

Being of French origins they are more available in main land Europe, they may have lowered their distribution as I don't see them very often in the UK now.

Alongside the Crabtree domestic stuff, I used Legrand for all 'IP' rated sockets and switches. Originally the range with the square edged light grey rockers, and then the later versions with the darker grey rockers.
It wasn't unusual to find the early type of switch with the complete rocker missing and no other damage when doing routine testing or maintenance, so I still have a stock of brand new switches with no rockers in my store room.

Synergy white moulded is great, but no one stocks them.

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask if any other sparks who use scolmore click mode have recently noticed a drop in the quality of their accessories?

In the last couple of months I've had a switches fail on a USB double sockets, a couple of light switches not fully clicking in to turn lights on/off, cross threaded terminal screws out of the box on fused spurs and now today a brand new double pole fused spur for a towel rail, not switching the neutral at all and left open circuit. I might have to change to Hager or something if things carry on...

For the light switches, would you please try uninstalling the module from the faceplate and taking the module apart, and put them back together again? One day I was playing with the Click switches and water spilled on them by accident. I took the modules apart to get rid of the water before reassembling the switch again and it seemed the action felt even somehow better than it came.

I have now installed these switches onto the wall. Although they haven't developed any faults so far, I'll look out for you.

I have found almost all brands seem to be getting rubbish

For me, MK certainly gets rubbish as the terminal screws have largely deteriorated under just normal torque. Have never expected Click to decline in quality but I'll watch out as I use them. Hager Sollysta seems to be the most consistent - I've had them in my halls in my uni years and they had no faults.

Main issue is they cannot make every plate the same bloody colour...... sockets and switches can be a different tone of white ...

Anyone tried VERSO ?

I have seen a few of the Celebs on Utube pluggin Verso gear

They probably pay the best rate for product placement.

I just looked at the Verso Electrical website, having never heard of them. I noticed their IP66 2-gang enclosure looked to have come from the same moulding for a Hager Sollysta IP66 2-gang socket I happen to have sitting here.

Just looked at their accessories and they have a similar shape, but those rockers look like something from the 1980s.

'Influencers' might be a great means for a new company to get their product in front of a wide audience, but I'm at the point of not believing a single word from any of them. Influencers would promote sh*t on a stick if there was a few quid in it for them.
