Floor sockets

How much are floor sockets to buy?

for the sockets that go in floor boxs, they are a fair few quid, but these ones are a cheaper version,

Yea i dont think the floor box type will be used.

Energysavers.ie

around €30 for a single & €40 for a twin brass or satin chrome hinged lid type! You can get them from ND electrical in Nutgrove Dublin. He sells the Hamilton make see www.Hamilton-litestat.com or www.switch.ie

Personally I'm not a fan of Hamilton. I found the terminals on brass sockets (which looked fantastic) to be very poor quality. I also had a number of their DP switches and dimmers fail (also brass, also looked great!).
A floor socket needs to be able to take plenty of abuse so I would use a higher quality make such as MK. This will cost extra, but often the real saving is no revisit required!

i noticed same with hamilton gear

raised screws on back of sockets and switches -instead of ip2x

poor quality
