Excellent brand for Electrical sockets/switches?

[ishanjain28]

Hey,

I am looking for recommendations for a good brand for Electrical Sockets and switches.

1. I will need 1 way, 2 way and dimmable switches.

2. 3 Pin socket _has_ to support US/EU and Indian plugs. 2 Pin socket should preferably support sockets the 2 different width between the 2 legs.


Legrand and Schneider have all of these things in their stores. I have had good experience with Schneider but don't know much about Legrand. And is there any other brand I should check out?

Checkout GM and havells switches, They are really good.

If GM mean gold medal then these are not good at all. Stick to the Legrands and the better ones.

I will check GM in a bit but havells does not have dimmable switches or sockets that support EU plugs.

I'd suggest you stick with Schneider, have had good experience with their switchgear. Legrand might be a good option too.

No, GM is a different brand and yes, goldmedal switches are shit.

Belkin or Honeywell, if you can get your hands on the original one's.

Honeywell will be difficult to find. Does belkin make electrical sockets? Even on their website I can only really find stuff like surge protectors/extension boards. They don't have listings for in wall sockets

hello everyone! An update on this.

I ultimately went with Legrand Myrius multi standard sockets. Rest of is a long story that I don't _think_ I'll divulge into right now.

I went with Norwood which is pretty good and reasonable. Would also recommend Legrand and GM.
