Knightsbridge CU2162 Curved Edge 2 Gang Dimmer, White - 230 Volts

The media could not be loaded. I recently had the pleasure of installing the Knightsbridge CU1000 Curved Edge switch, and I must say, it has truly elevated my lighting experience. This sleek switch, with its single gang, one-way functionality, is a superb example of a standard switch—no wireless or kinetic fuss here.The installation was refreshingly simple, especially since I was replacing a broken switch. The elegant white finish and gently curved edges add a touch of sophistication, though the design was secondary to functionality for me.Securing the live and neutral cables was a breeze; all you need is a flathead screwdriver. I can't stress enough how important it is to call in a professional electrician if you feel unsure about changing a light switch—your safety should always come first. There are generic instructions, but the diagrams are overwhelming, and the text is rather tiny.One delightful feature is the loud, crisp sound it makes when flicked on and off. I also wanted to install colour-changing bulbs in my light fitting, and this switch is perfectly compatible for that, adding versatility to my lighting options.In summary, this light switch performs flawlessly and is an ideal choice for anyone in search of a reliable and attractive basic switch. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Simple design. Like the power indicator light. Good quality and price. Easy to fit.

Used as light switch. Feels like a quality product. As you can see screws are almost invisible but note that this is cool white, almost grey rather than bright white.

easy to fit, good quality and great for the price

The Knightsbridge CU8350 Curved Edge 1 Gang Blanking Plate is exactly what I needed. It has a nice slimline design. Whilst not flush with the wall it blends nicely against the wall and looks neat. The curved edges give it a modern touch, and the quality feels solid.Easy to install and does the job of covering an unused socket perfectly. If you’re looking for a simple, clean solution, this is a great choice!

Cheap, sturdy and easy to attach to a standard fitting. Would buy again.

These plugs look smart, are easy to fit, and work well with the Smart Life app. Setup in the app is very easy, and they show as 2 sockets on one device that can be controlled individually or together and assigned different names. They take a little getting used to for manual use as the switches are sprung, and operate more like push buttons than rockers and always return to what would traditionally be an 'off' position. There is a green light that shows when a socket is turned on, but it seems this doesn't function until the switches have been paired so out of the box there is no way to visually tell if the switches are on or not which is not ideal.The first big issue we've found with them is that if there is a power outage they do not remember their state and will always be turned off after the power has returned. Once they reach a time where you have programmed them, that will do what you programmed. However, we were using one socket on our fridge freezer as the socket was out of reach, so wanted to remote control it when defrosting etc, and we wanted to monitor power use. We had not set any timers, as this use didn't require it. We get fairly regular power cuts here at the moment and were regularly finding the fridge freezer stayed turned off after the power came back. We've resolved this by setting a 'turn on' timer for every hour, but this means we have to disable the timers when we need to defrost or it will just turn itself back on again.The next problem is they have a maximum load protection. The description does say not to run high load appliances, such as hot tubs, for extended periods of time but it is hard to know what that translates to. We have one socket which has our washing machine and drier attached to it (each plugged directly into one of the double sockets, not through a splitter). Again, I wanted s smart socket as the sockets are out of reach, and because we wanted to monitor energy use. It works fine if we are running either the washing machine or dryer. However we cannot run both at the same time as both sockets turn off after a few seconds, every single time. This means we're going to have to switch this back to a traditional socket as this is clearly too high load.If these issues won't impact your use case then I do think these are good sockets. We have quite a lot of them, and in most situations they work really well. However, do be careful if you have appliances you need to stay on in all circumstances, such as a fridge freezer, or if you are looking to run high load appliances, and maybe look at alternatives.
