Local factors don't stock and for a single don't want to order

Thanks. I had trying google, but for some reason got no hits for sales in the UK. I also tried RS, but their search facilityis pants and couldn't find it there either.

Anyway, ordered and a double socket in the same range to match as the one on the wall is looking abit tatty.

Ban, you really are an enigma. One minute helpful and the next condescending.

I wanted more than just the FCU in the white metalclad range so searched for metalclad. I got ALM metalclad, but no white metalclad.

I then searched for metalclad white. I got lots of white plastic switches etc and ALM metalclad, but no white metalclad.

That's pants.

And equally as bad, poor business.

Frankly I think the RS site is pretty poor and whoever is in charge needs to come into the 21st century with their design and ease of use.

So once agian thanks to those who helped me find what I was looking for.

Now off to B&Q to buy a shed load of halogen downlighters for the downstairs loo - 10 should be enough I reckon.

No, no, no, no and no again!!

You cannot possibly want to install 10 downlighters in your toilet.

Get real.

You need at least 20.

 

[DJM]

Hmmm, good point, well made.

Actually if I install 30 and then fit a dimmer switch and leave it on low that should really work well

Well I wasn't being condescending - just a bit of tongue-in-cheek non-offensive sarcasm.

Because....

I wanted more than just the FCU in the white metalclad range so searched for metalclad. I got ALM metalclad, but no white metalclad.

You hadn't said that, and when you do search the RS website for the specific product you said you were looking for it works perfectly....

It can be a pain, although if you're searching for something on the basis of specification rather than a particular product or make the way you can narrow down the criteria can be helpful.

What you really need are the printed catalogues as well as the website, but they are hard to get these days, understandably.
