Which switches are the best quality?

Two switches can look identical in a showroom. Quality shows after five years: whether the rocker still clicks cleanly, whether the plate has yellowed, whether the socket still grips a plug.

For the best quality switches we recommend Legrand, and within Legrand the Myrius and Lyncus ranges. The mechanism stays crisp, sockets are ISI marked with shutters, the plates keep their finish, and Legrand states a 10-year manufacturing-defect replacement on Myrius and Britzy switches and sockets.

Homeowner and electrician comparing Legrand Myrius and Lyncus switch quality

What quality means in a switch

  • The mechanism: a consistent, positive click that does not soften with use.
  • The contacts: rated for the load, so a 16A socket does not heat up under a geyser or AC.
  • The socket: ISI marked, shuttered, and gripping the plug firmly.
  • The plate: a finish that does not yellow, scratch or loosen.
  • The warranty: a written replacement promise from the maker.
