bigclivedotcom | Poundland 50p switch teardown @bigclivedotcom | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 4 hours ago
I wondered why these prominent brand switches were being sold so cheaply at Poundland. Given that Poundland do generally comply with electrical safety regulations, they were unlikely to be dangerous.
As I took the switch out of its packaging I spotted an obvious problem immediately - an incorrect wiring diagram. There may also be an issue with the striping on one of the wires in the diagram potentially causing confusion with the striped earth wire.
Other than that, the switch seems to have no other obvious issues, so they were probably just clearing out stock to a less fussy customer base.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
