BG Electrical Single Wall Switch with LED Power Indicator, Double Pole, Round Edge, Nexus 800 Series, White Moulded, 20A, 831

Baught for my new house Good quality Easy to fix Strong plastic

Great price ok if you are capable of wiring into the electric

Socket is alright works 💯 3lvl sounds not too loud but enough. Switched with previous one perfectly fitted same holes. Bell button was bend just a bit but I've used sandpaper to get one flat lvl and used double tape which is much better idea than drilling new holes in bricks 🧱. Nice smooth finish looks fancy. If you get this for less than tenner like me that's ok but not worth above that price. Thanks 👍

I was buying some new double sockets a few days ago and ended up on the BG (British General) website looking for details of the differences between two of their part numbers (822 & 922). This new doorbell socket was being promoted there and, as our old doorbell is not the loudest, I decided to try one. I bought it from an Amazon seller ('The Lamp Post') and it was actually cheaper via Amazon than directly from their own website. However, that's irrelevant to this review, but I'll admit it surprised me a bit. In the box, you get the double socket (it's BG's 822 pattern, so the corners are more rounded than the 922 series) and the push button, which includes a CR2032 battery and a double sided sticky pad to fit it, along with two screws for a more permanent installation. It's very easy to fit the socket in place of an existing one (new screws are included), but be aware it's quite bulky, so you may not have a lot of room in a 25mm backbox. The connections are colour coded, L&N next to each other on the upper part, and there's two earth terminals (upper and lower) at the opposite end to the L&N, one for the cable and one to the backbox. If the last paragraph is gibberish to you, don't even think about trying to fit it yourself. Get an electrician to do it for you or you could end up killing yourself. It took me all of fifteen minutes to complete the installation, screwing the push button to our front door frame around 30' away from the socket, with the signal needing to go through two solid brick walls. I'm pleased to say it worked perfectly. There are six ring tones and three volume levels, all adjustable using a double ended rocker button on the socket itself. They ring as you alter them at the socket, so there's no need for an assistant to press the button for you. I used the 'Westminster' chime at maximum volume as it gives the longest and loudest ring. We've not missed anyone at the door since. You could of course just get a wireless plug-in doorbell, and probably cheaper than this socket, but personally, I like not having the plug-in unit sticking out and taking up one half of the socket. Anyone familiar with BG's sockets will know they're not top of the range, but not too bad either. This one is up to their usual standard, nicely finished, and it works really well. For the money, I think this is an excellent item, a great idea, and I'm pleased to recommend it to you. If this brief review has been helpful, a click of the button below would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Bought a number of these (different ie two gang, one gang, gangs with HDMI etc) made by this company, and i can say i really like the smooth styling, easy use and fiiting wire placements and finishing screw covers. I will buy more for whole house. Recommended.

Great product and fast delivery,easy to install in place of an existing double socket.good choice of chimes and volume control

I bought one of these and it was quite easy to install and set up with the bell push. Although it is loud enough to hear if installed in the room that you are in it would be better if it was louder. I first installed it in my hall near the front door but on maximum volume I could barely hear it in the back room even though there is only one door between. My previous battery-operated bell could be heard okay. I therefore, bought two more and relocated the one by the front door to a socket on the landing which can be heard in the bedrooms and the others I installed in the two downstairs rooms. I could really do with another for the detached utility room too but it's getting too expensive and there are probably cheaper options available which don't use the mains sockets. Although it's not particularly bright I can imagine the flashing light is useful for anybody who are hard of hearing, provided the socket is mounted somewhere in view. I've also noticed that although there are different volume settings and chimes, if there's a power cut they revert back to their default settings and I have to reset them again. They are a good idea and don't need batteries (except for the bell push) but I don't think I'd have bought the first if I'd known that I'd have to buy two more. Unfortunately, they don't sell the sockets on their own a bit cheaper without the bell push. I just wish that callers, especially delivery people, would use the bell rather than knocking on the door! Update 9-2-2024: The reason that callers don't use the doorbell could be because the bellpush doesn't always work despite pressing it quite hard. My wife came home and didn't have a key so knocked on the door. She said that she had pressed the bellpush several times but it didn't ring the bell. I replaced the bellpush with one that I hadn't used and that didn't always work either, I don't think it was the battery because after repeated pressing it it did occasionally work. I think I'll have to buy an alternative doorbell.

Spot on … just works a treat …

Dommage qu'il ne fonctionne pas pour systèmes inverseur manque le systèmes si vous employés l'inverseur problème pour les deux autres simple allumage

Este interruptor triple es de excelente calidad, se nota al pulsar cada uno de los botones, su respuesta es muy buena y ocupa poquísimo espacio al instalarse. Lo recomiendo.
