RE: Good Wall Dimmer?

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

O.K.

But there is still one confusing bit.

You say that

LW10G/LW11G would fit into a standard German
wall switch box but, due to its length, it wouldn't go into a standard
wall switch box in the UK.

 

However, Phil said that it will fit without problems:

 

> Do I need to do any adjustments to plastic backbox? 

 

No ... fits fine as it is

 

So what's the truth then?

 

I measured and I have 3.5 cm deep plastic dry lining boxes. I just wander will they fit nicely in, so I can but immediately all of them, or I should buy just one first and check.

The reason being that the LW10G/LW11G would fit into a standard German
wall switch box but, due to its length, it wouldn't go into a standard
wall switch box in the UK. In addition, all German wall switch boxes have
both live and neutral whereas we normally only have live available.

Electrically speaking, they will work in either country. It is the
physical dimension and neutral connection requirement that set them apart.
