I will say that, in my view, MK has most ugly ceiling pull switch in the world.

I take it you haven't seen the Crabtree ones then

I have just changed my mind - and that 50Amp looks like and updside mug without the handle.

They are the best switches on the market despite their looks though.


As for MK ceiling light switches, ditch the back box, use a round dry liner and hey presto, the best looking switch available.

Round dry liner boxes you say..... Mmmmm, i've got a couple of the mk's to fit later in the week, think i will have to give that idea a go!

I just wish you could get square ceiling light switches.

We moved away from "any shape you like as long as it's round" for wall switches several decades ago - why are we still stuck in the past with ceiling ones?

@ £1.87 a unit inc VAT they are very tempting on price as an economy eequivelentto the MK

You gets what you pays for.

Do you want quality, or do you want cheap?

I'm guessing that TLC range then is no good?

Got to buy about 35 of them

Actually, I've fitted quite a few of the GET Ultimate range you link to, and much prefer them to MK. Personally, I don't feel that the quality of MK accessories is high enough any more to command the price tag that comes attached.

If you are fitting them for a customer then they determine the price and perhaps the quality.
If you are fitting them yourself then you decide.
Aesthetics and quality do not necessarilly go hand in hand.
Remember most sockets are fitted once and forgot only the front is visible.

Just bought these for my new kitchen from Screwfix http://www.screwfix.com/cats/A431878/Electrical-Supplies/Switches-Sockets/Black/Volex-Angled-Edge

They are a really nice quality which surprised me for a cheapy brand

My local eddy's would only supply me in box quantities and they were not much cheaper
