BG Electrical Intelligent Quadruple Wall Dimmer Switch, 2 Way, Raised Profile, Round Edges, Nexus Metal, Black Nickel 200W, NBN84

Look great, work well, price is right. Electrician says was easy although he did need some longer screws for a couple of the back plates we had in the wall but which he had plenty on him, so what’s not to like. A good strong click too when pressed, While not AS modern as screwless and not as thin as some at more cost, in a traditional house, they are the perfect replacement for the old plastic white ones without trying to standout, to give a cleaner well maintained home look.Finally, I know what it’s like to feel indecisive when buying or comparing products, so If you found my review helpful please mark it as such, as I really enjoy knowing my reviews helped other people make an informed decision.

The media could not be loaded.  This worked fine for about a day, but sometimes it is more like having a poltergeist in the house. I hoped it would sorry itself out so I missed my Amazon return window. I emailed BG and got NO RESPONSE, so not a lot of confidence in them as a company now even with the 2 year guarantee. I would not buy their products again.

I bought several sockets in January 2019 and by November I contacted amazon to tell them the usb sockets had failed. Of course Amazon couldn’t care less saying I’d used it for 10 months and they reckoned that exceeded the estimated lifetime of the product. So it’s only expected to last less than 12 months.

18 month update: These have stood the test of time and are still looking like they were put in place yesterday. The USB ports work well and have lasted.Original: I love the look of these. They are hard wearing and are great quality. I put them into my new kitchen last year and have waited to do the review. After 1 year I can say they look as good as new and have given no problems. They eliminate the need for the separate USB plugs and charge items quickly.

This is a perfectly good serviceable dimmer and does the job I expected it to. But, if you have LED dimmers you will need to alter the settings before installing it as by default it is is set up for Tungsten bulbs. Making the adjustment is not difficult, it just means turning a screw but you will need a very fine screwdriver to do it (or a nailfile).The only observation I have is that if you turn the lights down to the lowest value before being entirely off they gradually brighten over time. I dont know if this is typical behaviour or just a problem with this particular product. Its no big deal, just means that an hour after setting the level, you may have to go back and turn it down again.

I bought this as I wanted to plug my Macbook Pro into the wall without having to use the bulky power supply all the time. It's not enough voltage, however. It will charge when switched off, but won't power it when the computer is on. That's not a criticism, as I should have checked, but worth pointing out as it's something I can imagine other people doing. Product itself is fine. Solid, looks good and works well.

It's a very useful thing to have in different rooms around the house. At last it means that a socket isn't taken up by a charger.Although these are meant to be a straight swap in a 25mm back box, I found it to be quite a squeeze, as there's more gubbins at the back of these switches than on normal ones. That means that there's much less space for the wires to go, forcing the box out more than before.I really had to screw it in tight to make it look ok, and also had to cut the rubber washer in one back box, as that was preventing it going in. I've bought three and will buy more, but I wish I'd a bit more space in the box to make it an easier swap.

When I searched for 'LED Brushed Steel Dimmer Switch' on Amazon, this product was the first search return and 'Amazon's choice' - turns out its not LED compatible and the lights are flickering because of it.Not overly happy about this, quite misleading if you don't know the ins and outs of electrical stuff, you rely somewhat on the information given.
