I figure it had to happen eventually. I have been modifying real switches and outlets for years to do the same thing. Do the levers on your switches really "flip" or is it all a solid casting? I made mine flip with a cam action, so they look more believable. The BIG difference is mine cost about $0.75 in parts and 10 minutes of work. For those who don't want to be bothered, your product is a wonderful thing. Congratulations. It's a good idea for a niche product. If ONLY I had thought anybody else would want such a thing...

Great idea I must agree, in fact our general switches & outlets are fairly slim line anyway, using a rocker switch, rather than a toggle switch, which may sit yours off a lot more than ours normally?

We just use a slim mounting block for GPO's & Architrave switching:-

At nearly $10.00 each, plus shipping, I'd much rather just cut out a small hole in a flat and fit it with a 75-cent, store-bought switch.
