How much electricity is consumed depends not only on the power of the devices used, but also on the quality of the switches and sockets. At specialized points of sale, you can find various models from many manufacturers. They provide detailed instructions along with products for use, installation, and so on. Popular today is the manufacturer Lezard. Switches and sockets are in great demand. They will be discussed in the article.
Manufacturer
The company was established in 1970. The Lezard brand belongs to a company from Turkey, which is known as the Dernek GROUP. At the very beginning, she produced the most sought-after everyday goods. Products began to arrive in the Russian Federation only in 1995. Eight years later, the company changed the direction of production, starting to produce electrical devices. And only in 2007, her goods began to be supplied to markets under the name Lezard. Sockets and switches are of excellent quality and easy to install. Next, we consider them in more detail.
Types of sockets and switches
The company produces a fairly extensive range of products. A person can purchase double, ordinary sockets of various standards. What else does Lezard supply? Two- gang switch through passage . They are in great demand. There are one and three keys. It is also not necessary to opt for checkpoints, as ordinary ones are also sold. Some switches are available with a built-in red or green backlight. If you wish, you can pay attention to the extension cords from this manufacturer.
Switch Series
The market sells several lines of sockets and switches from the Turkish manufacturer. What are we talking about? The most popular was the Nata series. It is a device made with imitation of wood, stone or metal. Lezard Mira circuit breakers have also been highly praised. This series is represented by devices with a polycarbonate coating, it is quite resistant. You can also find the Deriy line on the shelves. It differs in that it has an increased level of security.
Feed-through switches
As already described above, it is possible to purchase Lezard breakers in the territory of the Russian Federation. How do they differ from conventional models? Passers are designed to control not one device, but two. That is why most often they are necessary for the owners of cottages. In fact, the pass-through device is a switch that constantly throws one contact to another.
Instructions for connecting a walk-through model
Almost every manufacturer’s model, which is sold in any Russian store, has a simple structure. That is why it is not difficult to connect a switch or socket to the network. The installation technology is the simplest, no different from installing any model from another manufacturer. The wires should be connected as shown in the diagram. It is printed at the factory, so it is completely true. The usual technique is used when installing a backlit switch. You don’t have to do any additional actions, since the indicator is included in the chart.
Difficulties can arise only when installing walk-through models. They have a complex structure, so masters may encounter difficulties. Next, we consider in detail the nuances.
Installation begins with the fact that the chain of fixtures is fixed. An incandescent lamp is used. The first rosette opens, in which you should twist the wires together. In the second box you need to find the phase or zero. Next, you will have to unwind the wires from the first socket and close them in the second. Find the phase or zero again. After that, you need to strip the ends of each wire. And only now you can start installation. This procedure is simple, so there will be no difficulties. You need to turn the switch upside down and examine it. As a rule, you need to connect zero to the third output, the phase to the second. The other two wires are connected by their serial numbers. Here you need to fully navigate by the color of each insulator.
How to connect sockets: features
The process of how the Lezard circuit breaker should be connected is described above. But many are interested in another question: "How exactly to install sockets?" As well as switches, they are equipped with special circuits. Each outlet has it, it is located on the bottom of the case. When making installation, you just need to navigate it. However, do not forget about one nuance.
Those outlets that are sold in red packaging must be mounted in the usual way. Other models are made in such a way that they have mixed terminals 2 and 3. When installing, you need to keep this in mind. On the diagrams all this is taken into account, therefore, problems should not arise.
Of course, do not forget about security measures. All work should be done before de-energizing the room, in rubber gloves.
Extension cord assembly
Continuing to talk about products of the Lezard brand, the switches and sockets of which are in great demand, we need to raise the issue of assembling the extension cord. The connection process is quite simple, so no nuances should interfere. The extension cord must have screw type fasteners at the outlet. Due to this, the wire is fixed with ease in a couple of minutes. However, sometimes on sale there are pads that are made with some kind of marriage. As a rule, they do not have fasteners. Those buyers who purchased just such a product will have to use a soldering iron. If you do not want to do this, you can go to the store and purchase a new block from another manufacturer.
Consumer opinion
As already mentioned, consumers respond well to this product. What are the benefits? Of course, the first thing that can be said is a fairly wide range. The pluses include good design, style, reliability and a long service life. If we talk about the quality of the assembly, then many home masters equate devices to Chinese counterparts. In general, this is precisely the main drawback. The Turkish manufacturer chose to make the case out of thin plastic, which, when handled improperly, is easily deformed. Therefore, during installation and operation, you must be extremely careful. It should be noted that, as a rule, the case is cracking, the switch itself or the socket does not lose its main function. Of the minuses, it should also be noted that Lezard sockets have screw fasteners, it is with the help of them that the contacts are fixed. If the wire is pinched, then almost immediately it will come off. Recalling the presence of defective models, it should be noted that sometimes completely inoperative devices are found. Therefore, you must be careful and purchase goods only where there is a possibility of return.
The cost of sockets and switches
Lezard devices - switches and sockets - have their own characteristics. Among the advantages can be noted a small cost. For example, the average price of circuit breakers from this manufacturer is 150 r. Passing models are a little more expensive - 250 p. Sockets can also be purchased for 150 r. Their price will vary depending on which case and how the design is made.
Instead of a conclusion
For a long time , customers consider Lezard products (switches, sockets and extension cords) to be quite reliable and of high quality. Reviews about them are good. Most owners advise their relatives and friends to purchase all products. Of course, it may be embarrassing that the company is not European. Of course, sometimes marriage occurs, not without it. But such cases are isolated, so do not worry. The installation process is quite easy, the design is successful, so there will be no problems, even if we are talking about a double-pass switch.
