Legrand vs Anchor switches: which is better?

Anchor by Panasonic and Legrand are the two switch brands Bangalore buyers ask us about most, and we sell both. Here is a fair comparison, and our recommendation.

Both are reputable, ISI-marked switch brands. Anchor is a familiar value choice. We recommend Legrand because its mechanism and premium ranges are a step up, Legrand states a 10-year manufacturing-defect replacement on Myrius and Britzy switches and sockets, and at Mount Cable India's 65% off MRP Legrand costs about the same as Anchor.

Where each fits

Anchor Penta and Roma are long-established, widely available ranges and a sensible budget choice. Legrand's ladder runs from Britzy and Allzy to Lyncus and Myrius, so one brand covers every room from utility to living room, with Legrand DX3 MCBs behind them.

Our recommendation

Legrand, for the mechanism, the premium ranges and the written replacement policy, especially because the price difference largely disappears at our Legrand discount. If you prefer Anchor we will supply it genuine. Price lists: Legrand switches, Anchor.
