How much electricity is consumed depends not only on the power of the appliances used, but also on the quality of the switches and sockets. In specialized points of sale you can find various models from many manufacturers. They provide detailed instructions for use, installation, and so on along with the products. Popular today is the manufacturer Lezard. Its switches and sockets are in great demand. They will be discussed in the article.
Manufacturer
The company was founded in 1970. The Lezard brand is owned by a Turkish company known as Dernek GROUP. At the very beginning, it produced the most sought-after products for everyday use. 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, its products began to be supplied to the markets under the name Lezard. Sockets and switches are excellentquality and ease of installation. Let's look at them in more detail below.
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? Pass-through two-gang switches. They are in special demand. There are one more and three-key ones. It is also not necessary to opt for checkpoints, as ordinary ones are also sold. Some switches are available with built-in red or green illumination. If you wish, you can pay attention to extension cords from this manufacturer.
Series of Switches
The market sells several lines of sockets and switches from a Turkish manufacturer. What are we talking about? The Nata series has become the most popular. It is a fixture made with imitation of wood, stone or metal. Lezard Mira switches also deserve high praise. 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.
Pass-through switches
As already described above, Lezard pass-through switches can also be purchased on the territory of the Russian Federation. How are they different from regular models? Checkpoints are designed to control not one device, but two. That is why most often they are needed by the owners of cottages. In fact, the pass-through device is a switch that constantly flips one contact to another.
Instructions for connecting a pass-through model
Almost every model of the manufacturer, which is sold in any Russian store, has the simplest design. That is why connecting a switch or outlet to the network will not be difficult. The installation technology is simple, no different from the installation of 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 correct. The usual technique is used when installing a light switch. There is no need to do any additional actions, as the indicator is included in the scheme.
Difficulties can arise only when installing walk-through models. They have a complex design, so the masters may encounter difficulties. Next, consider the nuances in detail.
Installation begins with the fact that the chain of fixtures is fixed. It uses an incandescent lamp. The first socket container opens, in it the wires should be twisted 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. Once again find the phase or zero. After that, you need to strip the ends of each wire. And only now you can proceed with the installation. This procedure is simple, so there will be no difficulties. You need to turn the switch upside down and study it. As a rule, you need to connect zero to the third output, phase to the second. The other two wires are connectedtheir serial numbers. Here you already need to completely navigate by the color of each insulator.
How to connect sockets: features
The process of how the Lezard switch should be connected is described above. But many are also interested in another question: "How exactly to mount sockets?" Just like switches, they are equipped with special circuits. Each outlet has it, it is located on the bottom of the case. When making the installation, you just need to navigate it. However, one thing should not be forgotten.
Those sockets that are sold in red packaging must be mounted in the usual way. Other models are made in such a way that they have reversed terminals 2 and 3. When installing, you need to keep this in mind. All this is taken into account on the diagrams, so problems should not arise.
Of course, do not forget about security measures. All work should be done after de-energizing the room, wearing rubber gloves.
Extension assembly
Continuing to talk about Lezard products, whose switches and sockets are in great demand, we need to touch on the issue of assembling an extension cord. The connection process is quite simple, so no nuances should interfere. The outlet extension must have screw-type fasteners. Due to this, the wire is fixed with ease in a couple of minutes. However, sometimes there are pads on sale that are made with some kind of marriage. As a rule, they do not have fasteners. For those buyers who have purchased such a product,you have to use a soldering iron. If you do not want to do this business, you can go to the store and purchase a new block from another manufacturer.
Consumer Opinion
As already mentioned, consumers speak well of this product. What can be attributed to the benefits? Of course, the first thing you can say is a fairly wide range. The advantages include good design, style, reliability and long service life. If we talk about build quality, then many home craftsmen equate devices with Chinese counterparts. In general, this is precisely the main drawback. The Turkish manufacturer chose to make the case out of thin plastic, which is easily deformed if mishandled. Therefore, during installation and operation, you need to be extremely careful. It should be noted that, as a rule, the case cracks, the switch or socket itself 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. Remembering the presence of defective models, it should be noted that sometimes there are completely non-working devices. Therefore, you need to be careful and purchase goods only where it is possible to return.
Cost of sockets and switches
Lezard devices - switches and sockets - have their own characteristics. Benefitsa small cost can be noted. For example, the average price for switches from this manufacturer is 150 rubles. Walk-through models are a little more expensive - 250 rubles. Sockets can also be purchased for 150 rubles. Their price will vary depending on which case and how the construction is made.
Instead of a conclusion
For a long time, Lezard products (switches, sockets and extension cords) have been considered by buyers to be quite reliable and of high quality. Reviews about them are good. Most of the owners advise to purchase all the products to their relatives and friends. Of course, it can be embarrassing that the company is not European. Of course, sometimes there is a marriage, not without it. But such cases are isolated, so you should 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 switch.
