ElekTek Low Profile in-Line Torpedo Switch 2 Amp Use 2 or 3 Core Flex Transparent

Good product, easy to use, easy to fit, and it works well. Value for money. I recommend.

Good looking switch but so small inside that it's quite difficult for big fingers to fit the wires into it. However once done it's a good switch.

This switch is as advertised and blends well if the connecting flex is of a golden colour. The switch arrived very promptly and works well.

My daughter brought her bedside lamp down as it no longer worked. What could be simpler! I changed the bulb and even fitted an SES LED bulb rather than the 40w original she had in there. It didn't work. Okay, easy enough. I changed the 5A fuse in the plug. It still didn't work. She sensed that the challenge was mounting as she cautioned me that the touch on/off lamp only cost £4 and perhaps we should just throw it away. I refused to give in, and opened the base. There, I found the touch switch module and managed to find an identical one on an Internet auction site for £2 delivered. I sent off for this and patiently waited for it. Rather than disturb the working in the base of the lamp I simply re-soldered all the connections to the new module which were of course identical. It still didn't work. Finally, I sent off for this rather nice switch from Amazon. It only has a 2A rating but this is more than enough even for a 40w bulb let alone the 4w LED one I fitted. I removed completely the touch switch module and pushed the wire out through the little hole in the side of the base of the lamp. This was a little short and rather than attempt to rewire the whole lamp I went with it and just used a little heat shrink tubing to protect the mains wire as I came out of the lamp. This also went into the switch to provide more comfort/security. Wiring the switch was easy. It is just a bit fiddly but if you trim the wires correctly and just take your time. Also please note I just had a Live and Neutral wire, so no Earth. Do not attempt this if you don't know what any of the above means - just throw your lamp away or, I guess, pay an electrician. The switch works beautifully and though the section of wire coming from the base is a teeny bit short the whole thing - well, just works without me throwing it away !

This switch is very well made and comes with excellent instructions written in perfect English! The terminals are firmly attached to the body which really makes installation much easier. Plus terminals are provided for all three wires unlike some switches I have used in the past where you only have terminals for the live so you have very carefully strip the cable sheath in the middle of the cable without damaging the neutral and earth. It also has two very sturdy cable clamps to protect the cable from being pulled out. Because of the small size of these switches, they will always be a little fiddley to install but the way this switch is made really helps to reduce this. An excellent product.

The process of fitting this to a table lamp revealed it's not the best quality, but it's in daily use now and is working so far.

Nice finish worked well

The switch is good value and made of good hard pvc plus it is really easy to connect the wires. It's also able to take 2/3 core leads. I would definitely recommend.

Très simple à utiliser et de bonne facture

Schaut gut aus!!!

Dovevo sistemare una coppia di lampade da comodino stile liberty e tra tanti interruttori trasparenti ho scelto questi, molto soddisfatto, naturalmente per sostituirli ci sono anche le istruzioni dettagliate ma bisogna comunque avere un po' di dimestichezza... Li consiglio
