Get L&T Oris switches. And again L&T for the wires. Period.

Their quality in both fields is way better than the competition. They are cost effective too, when you consider the whole layout.

Eg:

Their switch rated at 10A is much cheaper than competition 10A while being double the quality. Everything with a 12year guarantee. Their universal sockets (which accomodates british/american, etc all standards) is rated at 13A, ideal for computer systems and devices.

Moreover they have options of LED switches (Power-indicator red and night locator blue) rather than the convention neon lamps.

They have a 32A DP switch for Air-conditioners which fits into the conventional modular plate.

Their conventional 6A / 13A / 16A sockets are broader than regular sockets of other brands. (3-module sockets as compared to others' 2-module). This improves the support to the usually broad PC plug-tops, and improves the rear too.

The reasons go on and on... So do have a look. (Less people keep the switch because list price is lower than competitors mosaic, schneider, etc. and hence margins for dealers are lower. Moreover, everyone cannot simply be a dealer of L&T. Reputed firms only.)

PS: L&T beats its closest competitor Legrand Mosaic hugely, while others like Crabtree (Now havells i guess), finolex switches, Anchor Roma are'nt in the same league.

Pick up a Legrand mosaic catalogue, it shows a fine print at the end: Warranty is halved if not fitted in Legrand metal boxes, warranty only 2 years for the neon-lit switches, etc. Hardly any warranty on fan-regulator. While L&T is such a huge industrial ruler, it doesnt worry about such tiny things and replace the item immediately incase anything gets faulty in course of 12 years.

that was quite a long&an informative post.need to go shopping for switches then will have to check for its availability..You mean their all switches carry warranty?

will definitely have a look for these switches...thanks..:)
 
^yes. Atleast here in Chandigarh, the Larsen&toubro personnel is ready to replace almost everything. Things should be even better in mumbai, as the company headquarters are there.
