British General BG Electrical Double Switched Fast Charging Power Socket with Two USB Charging Ports

Look great, work well, price is right. Electrician says was easy although he did need some longer screws for a couple of the back plates we had in the wall but which he had plenty on him, so what’s not to like. A good strong click too when pressed, While not AS modern as screwless and not as thin as some at more cost, in a traditional house, they are the perfect replacement for the old plastic white ones without trying to standout, to give a cleaner well maintained home look.Finally, I know what it’s like to feel indecisive when buying or comparing products, so If you found my review helpful please mark it as such, as I really enjoy knowing my reviews helped other people make an informed decision.

This worked fine for about a day, but sometimes it is more like having a poltergeist in the house. I hoped it would sorry itself out so I missed my Amazon return window. I emailed BG and got NO RESPONSE, so not a lot of confidence in them as a company now even with the 2 year guarantee. I would not buy their products again.

You should NEVER attempt to install electrical items unless you know what you are doing.This dimmer switch is relatively simple to install provided you follow the instruction manual / sheet provided.The wiring itself - it's best to either mark the cables with a marker or take a photo with your phone to make sure that all live wires go back into the right sockets - most of these switches have at least 2 x red live wires and they need to be in the right sockets to for 'The ring or loop'.The switch itself has a nice sheen finish and the on/off switch is a nice 'Click' letting you know it's quality components.The dimmer is silent when switched on and doesn't 'buzz' like some switches!I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending this dimmer switch and give it 5 Stars for quality, looks and value for money paid.A++ to the company for producing such a nice product!

PREVIOUS REVIEW: Very disappointed. Does not work with our energy saving bulbs. The light is dimmed even on max and then starts flickering. Does not work at all.EDIT: I ordered a dimmable bulb from Philips and the dimmer works perfectly fine now. It dims in a very graduate way and the bulb is also not flickering. The previous bulbs I used must not be dimmable. I can recommend this dimmer but make sure you have dimmable bulbs if you use energy saving bulbs.

We are redoing the kitchen, the new build standard issue white plastic switches are out and brushed steel metal switches are being put in.I picked this up because i have come across BG products before, in Screwfix and Tool Station, the price is comparable without the hassle of going to click and collect.* The switch comes in an easy to open plastic package, i did think upon seeing it it was one of those packs that needs two breadknives, some pliers and a lot of expletives to open but its not, it just pops open.* Instructions are included depending on your current wiring set up, this was useful as i am not an electrician and it wasnt clear upon unscrewing the old switch.* Super quick to swap out, less than ten minutes. Connectors are all well made and easy to wire into, the unit is well made, the switch action is super smooth and requires a tiny bit of reassuring pressure that is indicative i would think of it being long lasting.* The finish is top notch, looks good on the wall. We havent repainted yet so there is an edge of old paint on the pictures but that will be sanded off, i was just old to get them on the walls sharpish, no point in decorating in order is there....Overall highly recommended.Five Stars.
