- Comprehensive specifications for most of the products on the website. Most of the items on the website come with both technical details, wiring and installation instructions, a collection of pictures, together with a description of what that item is. You are also clear on what other items a product requires, and many times you can see a video introducing that product. Take a look and see!

- Switches and Sockets Wizard: when it comes to selecting the finish, the plate type, and the switch/socket/insert, etc, it's not that easy; that's why we have a "Switches and Sockets Wizard", a tool that helps you find the devices you need. We are constantly working on this unique tool so that the visitor would be only one click away from the device he needs.
