Looking for a reliable inline light switch?

I've had 3, mostly Amazon specials. All started arcing after a few months.
For a 60W bedside lamp.
Google hasn't brought up much other than the Amazon standard.
Any suggestions please.

Bought a knightsbridge one not long ago and it fell to bits when opened up; coud'n get it back again. Ended up with axiom one from toolstation and it's fine, but only available in white. The only black ones I could find were the knightsbridge ones !

I also struggled to find one that had room to terminate a CPC for a class 1 lamp.
This is what got fitted in the end:

Leviton and Lutron are very reliable. The Lutron is the better choice when you need electronic dimming for the lamps.
