Super belle finition , de la bonne qualit, faade en mtal.Je vais en commander d’autres.
Same day delivery for a good price. The plate doesnt feel cheap and the switch has a reassuring click. Easy to fit (just need to pry it open at the right spot on the side given its the screwless type.
Nice light, good quality and did not experience any issues with the product that may have been mentioned by other people.
Very easy to install to the back box and super easy and a sturdy click when attaching the faceplate.
As with other switches in my house, I found that this didn’t require any changes to the depth of the back box nor did I need any faceplate spacer for it to fit due to the thickness.
All round a good item. This is however a major fingerprint magnet.
Looks sleek and modern. No more difficult to install than a normal switch. Just made sure your box doesn’t wobble or the plate may not clip on properly.
Used this to replace the outside switch of a bathroom light. Easy replacement and nice satisfying clicky button. If you like softer feel of switch this might not be for you
The plate to the switch could be a bit tighter, you can see a slight seperation when you click the plate on. I also had a problem with the screws. They were too long for the backplate, that’s not the complaint the problem was how soft the metal was. Just a few twists when it wouldn’t tighten any further and it took the thread right off so I couldn’t get the screw back out. I eventuality found something to give a little pull (see photo) to catch the thread so I could remove them and put the old ones back in. It’s a bigger fingerprint magnet than other black nickle switches too.
Switch’s are easy to install even me a novice had no problems 2 wires was installed in under a minute. The finish looks fantastic and the screwless finish is fantastic.
Was easy to fit & looks stunning. Love the fact you dont see screws.
Easy to install. However it does show up finger marks.
Easy to fit and looks beautiful – looks like it’s far more expensive than it is! Just beware of fingerprints, but easily cleaned off
it was delivered on time and looks really good with the matching sockets
Pretty standard, not much to say!
Nice design. Works as intended
Good price, easy to install and looks good on the wall. Can’t ask for more than that.
Apart from the fact that this range is darker than it looks in the picture, this is a fab bit of kit. Bought as a combined blanking plate and switch order, I took the risk and have not lived to regret it. They are very well made and with the exception of finger smears (coupled with my OCD no doubt) are excellent both in appearance and switch action.
And now a word of warning – the standard size of screw for standard externally screwed light switch to back box is 25mm. The mere millimetres of depth lost due to the screw-less cover plate means that you may need a deeper back box to accommodate or in my case, have the screws cut. No mean feat but be warned; bent and cross-threaded 2 screws finding this out.
This is a really great light switch however it does leave a lot of finger prints when used. Some go away themselves, but some have to be wiped away.
Their was a problem with connecting the earth wire, but that was due to problems in my own house. It’s good in all, and leaves the room looking good.
Review of Knightsbridge SF2000BN 10 A 1-Gang 2-Way Screwless Switch – Black Nickel
I bought one of these a while ago to check the quality and I was very happy with it so I have bought more.
Very simple to fit and they look great. Fitting is just a matter of following the standard way of doing things, read the supplied instructions if you’re not familiar with it or get someone with more knowledge to fit it for you. Most DIY enthusiasts will have no trouble, just do it carefully and make sure you have clean (and dry!) hands before starting. I really like the way these look and so far no trouble, and I’m not expecting any. The switch has a fairly solid feel to it apart from the thin plastic gasket that is important to protect the edge of the front plate from moisture getting into the switch. Take care when unpacking the switch and when removing the front plate before fitting the switch to the wall box. As long as you do take care the result looks good and I have no trouble believing that the switch will outlast the 15 year guarantee.
I have only fitted them as one-way switches so far but I will come back and edit this review once I have installed the one that needs to be a two-way switch. A two-way switch is what is needed when you want two switches to control one light or one lighting set, and it does require a little more care when wiring the switches.
They only fit modern standard depth switch boxes, so don’t blame the switch if your boxes are extra shallow or non-standard in some other way — you will need to buy and fit a suitable box as well as the switch.
These do attract and show fingerprints a lot due to the shiny smooth black surface, so they need a wipe fairly often to keep them looking their best, not really a problem but worth noting.
EDIT: Fitting one of these as a two way switch was not much harder than wiring the one way switch, and the only problem I had was nothing to do with the switch itself. Still a fine looking switch and still reasonably easy to fit.
Excellent product. very attractive to look at and very shiny. The sad thing is it attracts fingerprints and oils easily so gets quite dirty over time. comes with all the screws and parts you need if replacing old light switch.
Looks great however as it’s screwless it seems to not fit completely to the wall so there is a small space. This isn’t normally noticeable however some people may find it frustrating
I bought these from OES Electrical as they were much cheaper than Amazon Prime’s Price. They came crazy fast and were with me in under 24 hours ( I took advantage of there Expedited service) The switches arrived well packaged and look amazing once installed. There a bit more “Mirrored” Finished than the brushed stainless you see in the pictures but none the less they really look the part. We were undecided as to go for these or spend a little extra and install the Schneider Ultimate range, but for the price and the looks these won hands down!
If you’re looking for a good decorative socket and a fraction of the price of the other big brands then look no further!
Very good the face plate clipped in very good better than the sockets I bough
