bigspark17, yes they do dimmable receivers. TLC have the full range. However, the dimmable range are not fully compatible with some LED fittings.
spoon, the receivers have screw terminals as far as I know on all of them. However, as regards being maintenance free, you don't want to install them in an inaccessible location because you may need to pair the receiver with another switch, or re-pair with the original switch, which requires physical access to the receiver to actuate the pairing button. Thus, the screw connections are fine

Yes thanks for making me think about that option. I'm starting to lean against because I need to fit a second switch on the same wall but higher up. (I think DP or 3a FCU for a 100W external PIR lamp that is currently hard wired without any isolator into existing 5a lighting circuit) .
That said I could move the location of that somewhere else but there aren't that many options. Maybe the back of the new cupboard but I guess that's frowned upon too.

Make that wireless also. On a 2 gang

Ha! I know Morse code! As for semaphore, I only break out the flags for dressing overall (google it, ye landlubbers!) before a rum party!
I even had radio telephone on my old ship, many years ago...started off with DSB, then SSB, then VHF with DSC...before that lot, it was two Tate & Lyle syrup cans and a length of sisal, but the range was fairly limited...

I must admit I have been using these a lot recently, they are only in Burton on Trent. Usually come next day as well!

Just had a quick look - on the prewired receiver L is Blue and N is Brown

 

[SparkySy]

That is odd! Not noticed that on the site. I will dig one out later and put a picture up, I have a spare one at the workshop!
Not had any trouble with them and have fitted probably 10 so far!

There are even some that you can get before September

Ahh: Seems like I'm too knew to post links. Search Ebay for 382652254199

But, I'm obviously not a qualified electrician but I would always be worried about unbranded stuff with 240v going across it. What would happen if in 3 months it burst into flames? What come back would I have? (none). On the other hand it does show how much margin the various middle men (importers, retailer etc) are making on the Quinetic.
