ene 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Clipsal has some nice switches. Even comes with light so that you don't need to find it in the dark. Check it out here: http://www.clipsal.com.sg/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I planning to DIY if my ID is charging me sky high price for it.Not sure about DIY but I plan to replace all my switches and sockets to Legrand ones. I got the electrical price list from Max but I think the prices are inclusive of new switches. If you manage to find out how much it will cost if we supply our own switches, do PM me! If I find out I'll let u know also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ene 1 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Oh, I think each Clipsal switch - the one with the small blue light - is about S$30 each. Hope this helps! We're thinking of just buying them and getting our ID to fix it for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
