Review: Sleek and Functional Dimmer Switch - I installed the BG Electrical intelligent single wall dimmer switch in my home recently, and I’m really impressed with both its design and functionality. The round-edge white moulded finish fits seamlessly into my modern home décor, providing a sleek, clean look. It’s part of the Nexus 800 Series, so it feels like a high-quality product right out of the box. The dimmer is easy to use and operates smoothly, allowing me to adjust the lighting to the perfect level for different moods and activities. I’ve installed it in the living room, and it works well with my 200W lighting setup. The switch has a nice, responsive feel and doesn’t flicker or cause any issues when adjusting. One minor thing to note is that it's only rated for 200W, so it may not be suitable for larger setups or spaces with high-wattage bulbs, but for smaller rooms, it’s perfect. Overall, it’s a fantastic dimmer switch that provides great functionality and an elegant look at a reasonable price. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their lighting control with a stylish switch.
Review: Good product. - Good product. Works well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this connect to the router?**
A: People here are getting confused. There are two different models here. One of them has a built in Wi-fi extender which extends an existing Wi-fi network from your current router. When installed the blue led flashes and you use your phone to connect to the sockets Wi-fi network called BG. Once connected you use your phone to connect to bg.repeater.net which then guides you through to select your own router network. From there you enter your current Wi-fi network password and then confirm. You also need to make sure the tick box on this page is ticked so the socket also takes on the same network name and password as your current network. All your devices will then connect to this socket when in range and treat it as if it was your current network. The setup is very easy and takes about 2 mins minus the actual installation of the unit to the mains supply.

**Q: Does this extend my existing wifi network OR will it create a second ‘new’ wifi network?**
A: Old question, but this can do BOTH as I discovered when I set mine up earlier. Select the current wifi to grab the signal and then select if you wish to extend with current details or create a new one. No disadvantage to either option.

**Q: Are the usb terminals wired seprately. or does the whole thing just get wired in, as would a standard wall socket without usb terminals?**
A: Wire as a standard socket the USB ports then become "live"

**Q: How easy is it to install this? Is it like a normal wall socket?**
A: Very easy and as normal. Remove the cables from the normal one and fix it to this one.The cables are colour coded so you wouldn't  get it wrong. You can take a photo of your old wiring from the plug so that you can ref to it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product.
*by A***R on 13 March 2026*

Good product. Works well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Electronics were too tall to fit the box that is recessed into my partition wall.
*by A***R on 18 January 2026*

Be aware that I could not fit this item where desired as the box on the back containing the electronics was too tall to fit the box that is recessed into my partition wall. Maybe the wall box is an atypical size but the fact remains that the electronics are taller than my old dimmer switch so you may want to be aware of this, i.e. it may be worth measuring the height of your switch box before ordering. However, I fitted it in another room and it fits and works fine. I particularly liked the fact that it comes with plugs to cover the screws.
