I believe so too BUT items such as these have to built to conform right?
Has anyone used these or the supplier?
PS Daren't put it in the public forum, prices are hard enough to compete with as it is

I agree that the prices are far too cheap and it could well be a scam?
I've just found some more details on the company
Cardiff is only across the bridge from Bristol so it may be worth a visit?

This firm has been going since 1948 and revived in 1999. Any body in the Cardiff ever heard of them?
I wouldn't buy from that site unless I had some one else's debit card.

Seems genuine enough...
As someone has pointed out, they've probably got an Asian supplier and added their own logos.

Just about all rcbos and mcbs are likely made by the same Chinese firms
I would expect these rcbos to be as good or bad as any of the 25 pounders we get at the larger suppliers

i wouldnt,regardless of where there made id imagine the likes of mk/wylex or any other big name will have a heavy involvment in quality checks and to make sure standards are met,a local wholesaler will not,plenty of fake everything around these days

Until I worked in a caravan factory I didn't know there was such a thing as a 'caravan light fitting'. The company would get hold of 'standard' fittings (decorative halogen, downlighter, outdoor etc) from the likes of B&Q which would look good in a caravan...
... Then they sent them to a factory in China to copy, but produce much cheaper. The product looks the same, but is unbranded or has a different, unknown brand, and obviously uses cheaper materials and has an inferior build quality.
If these MCBs etc hold a British Standard number and are on sale in the UK you should be able to assume they're 'fit for purpose', but like anything you get what you pay for - I wouldn't expect them to last as long as the likes of Wylex or Crabtree, but we have all come across customers who seem to care more about price than quality.
