    How much will it you pay for 10 double sockets?


    I bought 10 mk logics with switches on the outer corners for 30 sterling online. You would be looking at a lot more in most wholesalers

    Any electrician would change out 10 sockets in half hour. Supply 10 run of the mill sockets and fit for €100 not a bad half hours work.

    2 of 4 I installed two years back have failed already. Strangely enough the least used ones. Same make.
    Have another Aldi job elsewhere is soldiering on.

    The 12VDC jobs I spent 3 squid on a decade ago are far more resilient. I suppose having off switches helps.

    Resurrected one today. Cheapo Low ESR (1000µF) caps combined with no off switch done her.

    Replaced it with Rubicons and pressed back into service put it in the recycling because it was no longer up to regs...whistling.gif

    Thuther has a different ailment.

    Go to any electrical wholesaler and ask for click sockets. We use hundreds a week and never have any issue. They are 2.20 + vat

    Apologies for dredging up an oldish thread.
    But I'm curious about anybody's opinions on Black Nickel sockets and switches.
    I'll be beginning a house build later in the year, and am currently trying to gather as many opinions on every aspect of this project as I can.
    I bought a single socket (black nickel) from woodies (€13) yesterday and, as an experiment, have been plugging and unplugging a plug in it to see how the quality holds up. (I haven't installed the socket.)
    It's not looking good. Seems to scuff pretty easily.
    Is this true for Black nickel plugs and switches generally? Or have I just got a particularly poor quality one here?
    The Brand is Telford I think.

    Absolute nonsense. That is 3 minutes each.

    I don't like to knock woodies being an Irish company and all but some things I'd never buy from them. B&Q have a better selection of electric sockets and stuff inc MK. Ask in your local electricial wholesalers and tell them that you want quality
