This is confusing, I've ordered a few bits of this stuff, some switch modules and front plates and in the bumf on the website it says:-

Click Scolmore Introduced a new range of Click GridPro Frontplates and modules. A comprehensive range of finishes and modules available to offer ultimate flexibility. The GridPro modules are secured to the back of the 1-4 gang GridPro frontplates via the screw feature on the modules. The benefit of not using a yoke is that it allows the installer to use standard back boxes.

Yet when it arrived the front plates clearly clip onto some sort of yoke. The front plates are the screwless chrome ones, Definity I believe they are called.

I have since found these on the site


I'm guessing all the grid pro modules clip into that yoke as I cant find any switches that say Definity on them, why say they don't need a yoke when they quite clearly do.

Secondly, whats this dimmer all about,


I'm guessing it turns a square switch hole into a round dimmer hole but do you still need a module for it, and whats the white tube for?
 
with the gridpro kit we buy, the switches screw onto the back of the front plates with the tiny little screws provided with each switch. Eliminates the need for a yoke

That's the way I understood it works, and I've done it this way with the plastic stuff in this range before. But these are screwless fronts that must clip onto something. I've ordered some of these.

 
Here's your answer:

As above, you don't need a yoke of regular 1G, 2G, 3G or 4G plates... However...:

... you do need a yoke for multi-tier (6G-24G) plates.

From the Scolmore Grid Pro PDF, there's a link to it at the bottom of this page: Click GridPro | Wiring Accessories - https://scolmore.com/products/gridpro
 
Thanks, it says under the picture of the 4 front plates (in the tiniest writing possible) "Excluding the definity grid pro front plates which do have their own inserts" and as you say it also states that you need a yoke for the multi tier stuff.

So to print NO YOKE everywhere on their adverts is a bit misleading unless you are going to fit a small none screwless switch somewhere.

What is annoying is when you have to pay another £6.50 for delivery on a £2 item because they didn't state the obvious, its no yoke.
