bullwrath 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2007 Resale flat is using that, so I'm not sure if need to replace.Any con/pro about that?Legrand is fine. They have safety mark from SPRING.However do note that any electrical wiring, switch or socket should be replaced after 12 - 15 years.For socket n switch, wear and tear for the contacts.For wiring, breakdown of insulation.

You can get it easily from any electrical shop.If you don't mind paying a couple of cents more, you can go Homefix.The fun part abt legrand is you can change the color of the cover but you cannot change the contact switch.I am using different color for different room. but so far the classy looking one is metallic bronze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
