canalsiderenovation Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 For any switches we want wide rockers and our spark has recommend Click Mode by Scholmore which is fine as there are no screws. The sockets/dimmers he has suggested are Click Mode and they all have screws and ideally we want white screwless. Anyone got any suggestions of a budget price range, white only which is screwless that covers sockets/dimmers etc. In our last house we had stainless steel screwless (shed branded) and the fronts were always falling off them. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Electrician I was talking to the other day said that Knightsbrige are almost as good as Hamilton but fair bit cheaper. Just googled them and they seem to have screwless versions. Cheaper well-known safe bet I thnk he mentioned was MK (https://www.mkelectric.com/en-my/Products/WD/Superswitch/screwless/Pages/default.aspx) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Knightsbridge are pretty crap - terminals are awful and I used them in a garage and never again. As @Dan F said, you can go MK but not sure they have screwless dimmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of our lights are on dimmers as I can't have lights too bright as they are really sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Watch out then that you get any LED bulbs that are properly dimmable with standard MK dimmers as some need a certain type of leading edge (??) dimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Will do we don't have any light fittings yet anyway - that may be a while! I can't actually find MK screwless dimmers so don't think they do this in their range ......

ProDave Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I like Click Mode. They are cheap price, but very well made, one of the best. I have never been bothered personally about a pair of honest fixing screws. you can put the plastic caps on to "hide" them but I rarely bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
