Choice of switched 13A sockets

[Alec_t]

Given the choice of either BG or LAP brand switched twin 13A socket, which would offer the better reliability in your experience?

 

[Wayners]

Probably BG for me.
Switches tend to hold up well though even with cheap brands.
Pull switches don't. Light bulbs don't.

I'm not an electrician though. Jmo

Why does it need to be one of these brands?

'Cos that's what I can easily source at short notice.

Any wholesaler will have most main brands in stock

As my old gaffer used to say "you wont get a West End job for east end prices. Stop buying on price, maybe go to a proper vendor of accessories rather than heading for the sheds.
