Flush-Mounted Switches and Sockets (White)
The "heart" of every home's electrical installation are the mechanisms themselves - switches and sockets that are hidden in the wall. By buying cheap, white sockets of unknown origin from a local hardware store, you risk not only interior aesthetics, as they turn ugly yellow under the sun's UV rays after just a few years, but also real fire hazards. VIDEX white flush-mounted series mechanisms are a benchmark of engineering and safety, designed to provide premium quality without asking you to overpay a huge brand tax.
Why choosing these mechanisms is your best long-term decision (TCO):
- Silver-plated contacts in switches: Unlike cheap analogsthat quickly start sparking, the "heart" of VIDEX switches incorporates a silver coating. This ensures perfect current conductivity, extinguishes the electric arc, and guarantees a quiet, soft click even after 40,000 uses.
- Phosphor bronze in sockets: How often do you pull out the kettle or vacuum cleaner cord? The socket terminals are made of durable phosphor bronze that does not loosen. The plug will stay firmly in the wall even after 10 years, preventing overheating.
- Modular and non-yellowing (PC) system: You buy the mechanism and choose a 1 to 5-gang frame yourself. The entire mechanism and front panel are made of self-extinguishing, fireproof polycarbonate (PC), which is absolutely UV-resistant and will remain snow-white forever.

Q: What is the difference between screwless spring terminals (Push-in) and screw connections in mechanisms?
Q: What role does the 1-millimeter thick galvanized steel mounting support play in the mechanism?
Q: How do the expansion claws included in the switch mechanisms guarantee fixation in old masonry walls?
Q: How to navigate the LED indicator light functions in one-way and two-way switch mechanisms?
Q: How to properly connect socket mechanisms in a parallel circuit (daisy chain)?
A: Screwless terminals secure the copper wire with strong spring pressure that does not loosen under vibration or thermal fluctuations. Unlike screws that can loosen over time, a tensioned spring maintains constant contact density, preventing increased contact resistance and arcing.
Q: What role does the 1-millimeter thick galvanized steel mounting support play in the mechanism?
A: The VIDEX steel support frame prevents mechanism deformation during tightening, securing it in deep or uneven wall boxes. The 1 mm thick galvanization prevents the metal from corroding in damp plaster, stopping the mechanism from sinking into the wall under plug pressure.
Q: How do the expansion claws included in the switch mechanisms guarantee fixation in old masonry walls?
A: The screw-driven spring claws dig into the side walls of the box, creating strong mechanical resistance against pulling. This is critical in older buildings without architectural drywall box screw fixings, anchoring the mechanism against brutal pulling loads.
Q: How to navigate the LED indicator light functions in one-way and two-way switch mechanisms?
A: The built-in low-power (under 0.5W) LED diode shines continuously when the luminaire is turned off, serving as a guide in the dark. The integrated resistor prevents LED lamps from flashing or glowing dimly in the off state, which is a frequent problem with old neon indicators.
Q: How to properly connect socket mechanisms in a parallel circuit (daisy chain)?
A: The mechanism's double terminals allow fixing both the incoming (Line IN) and outgoing (Line OUT) cable wires with a cross-section up to 2.5 mm² in a single input. Such pass-through architecture allows up to 5 sockets to be connected in parallel in one row without exceeding the 16A (3680W) circuit breaker limit.
