Decent quality and easy to wire
I chose this switch because of the 'rounded off' look and the small size of the rockers themselves. That's down to personal preference of course, but I like how it looks on the wall now it's fitted.It was a simple replacement job so I didn't need the instructions, just copied the wiring from the old switch. Useful tip if you're replacing an existing switch: take a photo on your phone of the wiring on the old switch, makes life much easier when wiring up the new one.The fittings inside the switch are metal where it's needed and decent quality plastic where it's not. The screws that hold the wires are easy to access and feel secure once tightened. It came with four mounting screws, long and short, one pair of which should suit pretty much any wall box. The switch action feels clean and positive.It came with tiny covers to hide the screw heads when fitted, a nice touch which makes a big improvement to the aesthetics when compared with other switches in the house.

Sleek design, easy installation, but shorter screws may be an issue with non-flush back boxes.
⚙️ The BG Nexus 800 double light switch has a modern, round-edged design with matching screw caps that give it a clean, sleek appearance. The material feels durable and resists scratches, fading, and discolouration, which helps it maintain its look over time. I found the 2-way functionality useful, and this was a direct replacement for a failed double switch. It installs easily with captive screws, which prevent losing screws during the wiring process. The switch also fits well into a shallow back box, but I did notice that the retaining screws are shorter to match the design.⚙️ The screw cover caps add a polished, professional look, and I like that the pack includes some spares. If your back box isn’t flush with the surface, the shorter screws might be a problem, as they don’t provide as much depth. However, this wasn’t an issue for me since my back box was level. Overall, the switch has been reliable so far and provides great value for money, especially considering its style and the easy installation. ✔️

Cheap, positive click switch
This was a great value double switch, the same wiring location as my current switch so was literally 5 minute job to isolate power and move the wires one by one.Nice positive click to the switch and far better than the one it replaced in out 15 year old house. The kit comes with 2 screws and 6 screw cover plastic lugs which is a very nice touch.Negative and stopped it getting 5 star on install, the screws are just not long enough - i used my existing screws but not ideal really when you get a kit if you fitting in a brand new location.

Great Value for Money
Easy to install, quick delivery and good instructions. I’ve had to change a few light switches as it’s getting harder and harder to find dimmable light bulbs so these were a welcome price. Everything you need is in the box, screws and instructions.
