Synopsis:
Great light switches, been around for years.
CAUTION: DO NOT BACKWIRE/BACKSTAB(OLD SCHOOL). Curl the wire and wrap from left to right around the screw post. Screw on tight! This is the old school electrician speaking. Don't be a D-bag!
Thanks for reading, switch away! You're lights workey now!
No marring on the surface of the switch or the plastic border, color was a perfect match.
Only problem I had that was frustrating wasn't a manufacturing problem, but a packaging one. The plastic bags they were in had something inside them that totally gunked them to the switch face itself. Like someone had really bad adhesive tape. Peeling the bags off of the switches, I had to spend a few minutes on each with gum-off to get rid of it. Just horrible.
