Review: Really easy to fit and look stunning - I bought the all black switches and sockets which look really classy. They were all quick and easy to install and so far have worked perfectly. I did a lot of searching before choosing BG Electrical. They're a British company with their own stock so my order arrived the next day. The price was very competitive and the quality is brilliant. I'd definitely recommend them. Gary from Manchester, UK
Review: Quality & stylish light switch - Extremely happy with these and the colour pops as it's different to white and silver, the plate cover so no screws visible is the icing on the cake, absolutely love these and will be getting more to do the rest of the house
