Im after a metal clad 1g switch plate with a 1g switch and em light test key switch on same plate. Doesn't seem to be one anywhere. I know I can use a grid switch or Scolmore Click. Anyone know why this is?
 
Anyone know why this is?
I'll hazard a guess that it's because market research by potential product sponsors has revealed that the costs of design, development, material selection, finding manufacturers in China, India, etc..... production engineering, tooling, testing, packaging design, documentation, obtaining product approval from a notified body, shipping costs, new product marketing activities, all add up to requiring way more investment than sales could possibly justify. And in any event customers could make one up from grid switch components cheaper than any 'bespoke' product could be made.

wow, I'm grumpy tonight ?

Most if not all the metalclad switches I think of are grid switches so I assume you mean a metal plate switch.

If you look at all the possible switch permutations you could have there has to be a compromise somewhere as even if they were made it would be doubtful a wholesaler would stock such a potentially slow moving product anyway when they would more than likely have to be purchased in box quantities
