Review on πŸ”’ Nilight 90012E Heavy Duty Rocker Toggle Switch - Waterproof Cap, 5 Pack, 2 Years Warranty by Marklen Baeskens

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Something is wrong here

I have no idea why this product has good reviews. Sure, there are enough pictures and credible complaints to make a decision, but a few people praising them and giving them five-star ratings is enough to confuse the issue. Especially if you are on a budget or just want a ten dollar package of good switches. Maybe I stupidly fell into the second category. No. This is definitely a "you get what you pay for" case. Positive feedback either comes from market hawkers or from people who don't understand some key concepts. You can't really call them "heavy duty" if you don't know what that term means. It's just that you can't push 20 amps through that switch given the small size of the terminals. Given its cheap build, you'll be lucky if it doesn't suffer mechanical damage even with careful handling of low current. As others have pointed out, this is a problem on most projects where you need to disassemble everything you're mounting the switch to. Pay money for something better and you'll feel superior to idiots like me. Also, you get to, you know, make an application longer than two minutes. Of course, I'm just another person talking about it. But I feel it my duty to say it. I don't even understand why anyone started producing these things. What a crazy world we live in.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
