Buy Finolex for every wire in the house and Legrand for switches, sockets, MCBs, RCCBs and the distribution board. Finolex is the wire you can verify coil by coil; Legrand gives you one maker behind every switch and breaker, from budget Britzy to premium Myrius, at 65% off MRP.
The short list
| What | Brand | Grade or range | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| House wire | Finolex | Flamegard FR-LSH (or Silver / Gold FR on a budget) | Verifiable, low smoke in a fire |
| Switches and sockets | Legrand | Lyncus for most rooms, Myrius where it shows | Mechanism, shuttered sockets, 10-year replacement |
| MCBs and RCCB | Legrand | DX3, 30 mA RCCB on the incomer | 10 kA ISI breakers |
| Distribution board | Legrand | Ekinox SPN, IP43 | Built for the DX3 breakers |
| LAN and TV cable | Finolex | Cat 6 UTP, RG 6 | Same verifiable brand |
Why one wire brand and one switch brand
Mixing brands is how duplicates get in. When the whole order is two brands from one distributor, every carton can be checked and every warranty claim has one place to go. It also makes price comparison honest: you are comparing like with like.
