A good lamp must have a good switch, and it will quickly return from darkness to light when you touch it, so choosing a good switch is very important.
1. Look at the appearance: the style and color of the switch should match the overall style of the room, and the overall tone of the interior decoration and the tone of the switch should be in harmony with each other.
2. Look at the feel: Most of the high-quality switches are made of high-grade materials such as bulletproof rubber, with high fire resistance, moisture resistance, impact resistance, etc., and a smooth surface. Generally speaking, the performance of products whose surface is not too smooth and feels thin and brittle is unreliable. A good switch socket panel requires no air bubbles, no scratches, no stains, the switch feels light but not tight, and the plug requires a certain amount of force and cannot be inserted with one foot. The switch with a harder spring has a stronger sense of strength when used, while the inferior switch is very soft, and even the phenomenon that the switch handle stops in the middle position often occurs, causing potential safety hazards.
3. Look at the weight: When buying a switch, you should also weigh the weight of a single switch. Because only the copper sheet inside the switch is thick, the weight of a single switch will be large, and the copper sheet inside is the most critical part of the switch. If it is an alloy or thin copper sheet, it will not have the same weight and quality. The copper material inside the high-quality socket is selected and matched reasonably, and the thickness is guaranteed to be sufficient, which can improve the structural retention and conductivity. The best sockets on the market currently use brass, followed by phosphor bronze and red copper.
4. Look at the brand: the switches or sockets produced by small manufacturers are not advisable. Years”, “Guaranteed 12-year service life”, “Continuous switching over 10,000 times” and so on.
5. Look at the service: go to the designated store or sales point of the regular manufacturer to buy as much as possible, and ask for the shopping invoice, so as to ensure that you can enjoy after-sales service in the future
6. Look at the logo: pay attention to the logo on the switch and socket base: including CCC, rated current and voltage.
7. Look at the package: there should be a clear manufacturer’s address and phone number on the product package, and there should be instructions for use and a certificate of conformity inside.
In addition, qualified products should not have flames. It is best if you can do a combustion test on its core components when purchasing. Qualified products should not have flames when they leave the outer flame of the fire, and they are flame-retardant materials. Inferior products will burn blazingly due to the use of substandard plastics. If you don’t have the conditions to do a combustion experiment, from the appearance point of view, good materials are generally hard and difficult to scratch, and the structure is tight after molding, and the weight is heavy.
