Why do my bathroom light switches keep failing?

BG pull cords aarrhh! Bought a box of ten a couple year back as they were on special offer. Lego bricks are better constructed! 4 out of the 10 broke within 2 months. Time wasted going back changing them etc, never buy them again.

Paul, some of the BG gear ain't half bad. I generally have a few BG and Crabtree switches and sockets in the van as a different option to Hager. However, I will stay well clear of BG pulls after the callbacks I had. Stopped using their CUs also due to issues with them.

The BG pull cords I got seemed to be made from another supplier with a BG logo on them? Crabtree make a good pull cord, no problems so far???

Bg do a good line in sockets, use them most of the time now so they are not all bad, just the odd item now and again.

The more I learn about this trade/profession, the more I realise I know very little! Manufacturing is pish poor these days; half of stuff made should not get through quality control IMO.

I agree mate
