Agree, 2 way switching, 3 plated at the switch.... its already a squeeze with your neutrals wagod up in the back box, I just don't understand why they are so small in comparison to a regular switch, i guess they are mounted on pcb's or something but surely we've designed our way out of trickier situations?!!You can get 2 x 1mm cables in most dimmers , 1.5 is tight but can usually squeeze 2 in most makes if the wire is nice and straight and not all mangled
It isn't, it's just cheaper to make smaller terminals. Cheaper to manufacture = more profit. There is nothing else to these issues. Many light fittings now don't come with earth terminals, or somewhere to park cpcs. The only reason is it is more profitable for the manufacturer not to include one.It can’t be beyond the manufacturers to give us proper terminals.
So why are some switches now coming with a neutral parking terminal? That’s spending money on an extra terminal that’s not needed as we all carry connector block or wagosIt isn't, it's just cheaper to make smaller terminals. Cheaper to manufacture = more profit.

Neither did I.I didn't say all!
Correct. I remember absolutely nothing from my fancy business studies degree many years ago, apart from lots girlfriends and lots of beer.it's because whoever designs these fixtures has been to uni. and done a design course, but don't know a screwdriver from his arse.
Clearly you made the best use of itCorrect. I remember absolutely nothing from my fancy business studies degree many years ago, apart from lots girlfriends and lots of beer.
You forgot the bit when his boss then asks if there is some way to save 0.2p off each one sold...it's because whoever designs these fixtures has been to uni. and done a design course, but don't know a screwdriver from his arse.
