Hi all, a bit of help please in regards to a switch I need to change.

Does anyone recognise this brand? I have to buy one and I can't find a match.
I thought it was a BG flat plate but they don't look the same.

Cheers

Might tell you inside the plate

It looks like a BG nexus

I just got sent the pic Pete, so I can't take it off.
Wouldn't be advising the customer to try take it off either, although that would be handy.

Maybe a bit of customer service and go round and look?

I take it you don't charge for your time Murdoch? If I could order the same switch without a visit to the property, wouldn't you agree it would be cheaper to do the job?

TBH I would normally visit FOC to make sure that the visit to the wholesalers and then to the client were a 1 off!

afaik, the bg nexus flat plate are screwless ( i.e. clip on). the one in yourpic looks more like a varilight.

Fair enough, I was just trying to save time and money. By the looks of it anyway doesn't look like I will get it off the shelf that's my main worry!! So therefore 2 visits

I had a look and the BG nexus ones are a close match except they are screwless now.

It looks pretty poor quality that is for sure. The closest I can see is BG Nexus NPC50 which does have cover screws but the edges are bevelled the one you require is a flat plate. The Varilight XFC6D is flat plated but looks better quality.

I'll punt for an LAP polished chrome, but no warranty...
