What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Used to make a led batten light wired to a socket easier to switch on. Admittedly a little fiddly to set up, but nothing too arduous. Easy to fit with only a screwdriver needed.
A in-line switch; replacement for vax built-in. Looks sturdier than others and looks like it will last for years. Easier to keep clean than'softer' plastics.
Bought to replace a dodgy switch on an old ikea bed-side lamp. Works fine in my bedside lamp, my toddler loves switching it on.
Cons
These look good enough, but when you try to actually wire them up they are very fiddly indeed. Poor ergonomics and dangerous. Didn't bother contacting.
