Inline Cord Switch, PLUSPOE 2-Pack On-Off DPST Control Lamp Switch for Bedroom Table Lamp Desk LED Lights

I looked through the 1 star reviews after buying, installing and using several of these switches. I'm not affiliated with Amazon OR the company that sells these. I just hate seeing folks mislead by people who incorrectly install, don't know HOW to install, cause the item to fail by installing it incorrectly or just wanna whine about it being small or the screws being small to hold the wire. Let's take it step by step so maybe this will help some of you.Complaint: The switch IS small.Response: Yes it is. That's the whole point. Make a small switch that is easy to install, works great, and is a good value for the money.Complaint: "The screws are too small and you can't wrap the wire around them"Response: You've obviously been out of the electical industry for a while. The screws are not meant to have the wires wrapped around them. The screws are set into a clamping box that you insert the wire into. The screw then tightens down on the wire. Therefore you can use up to a 1/4" lamp cord to install it on. That doesn't mean a smaller wire won't work. It will because the screw tightens down ONTO the wire just like most good quality electrical outlets and circuit breakers in your electrical panel do. It's a proven system and a good one.Complaint: "I installed the wire into the switch and it blew up/caught fire/burned up".Response: Installing wire will usually require the stripping of insulation. If you incorrectly cut off too much insulation, you leave exposed wires in close proximity to eash other which can cause overheating/shorts/and even fire or total failure of the switch. You should not have exposed wire outside of the wire screw box.Complaint: "I installed the wires and screwed them down but they are so tiny they keep flopping around"Response: There is a strain relief inside the switch that will clamp the wires down holding them in place, if you install it correctly(as it comes from the factory)Complaint: "The switch is hard to click on and off".Response: Yes, it's rugged and built to last many cycles of switching.The main takeaway is this: electricity and electric devices (even lamps) are not something to play around with. If you don't know how to proficiently install something that deals with electricity, please get someone to do it who knows what they're doing. Don't do it incorrectly and then blame a perfectly good product. You could hurt yourself or even cause a fire. Safety first!I hope this helps. BTW, I tried two of these and liked them so well I bought 8 more!!

It’s a pretty decently made switch, better than I was anticipating. Tin your wires with solder before attempting to wire it, and save yourself a ton of frustration because the screws are small, but long and there’s plenty of room for any 18ga lamp cord in the terminal. I’d buy it again!

Once I found the RIGHT video on YouTube on how to install this switch, it was easy. I also learned these are safer than the old switches.

They work great - they are not too small, not too large. Switch feels good.I've installed it on three cords, but it is not easy. It took a lot of finger-power to get the cord seated. The clamp-screw worked fine, though.

This is a much better switch than the rotary one. Fixed my lamp in a few minutes. Very easy to use.

There isn't much room inside but they serve the purpose and work good

Great price. Great delivery , exactly what picture represented

Really like these! But one of them is broken, so I’m ordering another set. Would have loved to not have to do that, but for the price it’s not worth returning. Just know that they both might not work.
