VERSO Modular switches - Grid with out the grid and no yoking! by PREMSPEC
The latest addition to the Premspec Verso wiring accessories is modular switches. The functionality of a grid switch system without the traditional yoke mounting.
Using version modular switches you can build switches to suit your exact requirements. You could combine two way and intermediate switch elements within a common faceplate.
Or create a fused spur and other common power configurations for kitchens, utility areas of bathrooms.

Premspec do some great stuff. This Verso range being a case in point. Thanks Joe.
I wish these were available for the North American Market. Eagle Electric used to have something close to this and they were popular in the mid-20th century. no one to my knowledge makes this here in the USA... Nice Video! I love the versatility of this product!
I like yoke's, awesome for decorating.
Click mode does a similar thing
This range is great quality at a good price, might be worth a go? 🤔
Yes CPC and click do them. They only have screws at one end which is quicker assembly. 2 screws for a module is time consuming if you are using everywhere.
Modular switches and sockets are very popular in europe!
I like that idea even if it is old hat 👍just go’s to show how out dated we are in the Uk , or like I have said before if it’s not broken then don’t fix it. Fantastic video Joe as always 👍👍👍👍❤️⚡️
I was pretty impressed with it in fairness. 😊
@@efixx yes but what will you think when it goes wrong and Sod’s law it will be when the manufacturers warranty has expired and then you have two choices, spend a fortune to get it repaired, or spend a fortune to replace it ? . Or go back to the old trued and tested . Grid switches .😂
Joe check your email I would appreciate a call please . Many thanks
@@Dog-whisperer7494 I Sean. All Verso accessories have a lifetime (30 year) Product Warranty on them. So there shouldn't be a worry about a warranty expiring there ;-)
@@Dog-whisperer7494 In principle this is not much different from any other grid range, if you have the time and it's still available then you just replace the module. If the range has been discontinued or you are unable to source it quickly enough then you are likely going to have to replace the whole assembly. In practice there is safety in established systems. If you use MK grid plus then you can pick up replacement modules virtually anywhere. If you use click minigrid then toolstation stock it though it seems the seperate modules are only availble in the central warehouse, not local branches. For some modules you can work around this by buying ready built plates and dismantling them to get the modules, though not all modules are sold as part of readybuilt assemblies. This stuff on the other hand seems like a PITA to actually buy, they claim to have CEF as a distributor but I couldn't find it on CEFs site and google wasn't turning up much either. Warranties are mostly irrelevant unless they also cover labor.
Absolutely love it,, would you be able to guide me the right direction where to purchase these. I do so many bathrooms , I would love to to keep to keep big stock levels in my van.. Could you tell me what wholesaler got these on shelves. Many thanks
we would love to, if you drop us an email on sales@versoelectrical.co.uk one of our team will put you in touch with your closest stockist
@@versoelectrical thnx.. i will get in touch 👍
Not really keen on the design of the plate, plus click have had this system in place donkeys years ago, which was the reason I switched to that brand, as I could put an intermediate on a two gang switch. Not sure why manufacturers still make 1 way switches, I only buy 2 way switches.
Personally i couldn't imagine wanting anything other than white but my customers increasingly want brass and brushed steel which really limits the options - especially when you want a 2-gang intermediate switch. Also, the only dimmer switch worth using seems to be the Varilight - silent and smooth. If anyone else offered these solutions, I'd be very happy 😊
Bring out a keyswitch fan isolator as well like knightsbridge and ill start using Verso for everything!
Premspec are pretty responsive to their market so watch this space Joshua. 👍
We will feed it back to the engineers and see what we can do!
Click mode have been doing this for years now, old idea,
Looks a great system.. i detest the euro module grids, they look awful. only good for TV an Av installs IMO .. a 10a double pole would be great for bathrooms where you have an MVHR or fan which uses a boost function.. oh and a dimmer , coz you always get that fussy client that wants the dimmer on the same plate as the switches .. i'll give the premspec gear a go ... love the fuse spurs , ive only ever fitted MK on my own jobs just because of that reason.. nice to have other options.. well done Joe
Funny .. don't you have BTCINO/Legrand switches in UK ? We have this modularity for +20-30 years ..i guess in Belgium . It's always funny to watch UK video's about electricians .. in Europe you can fit sockets and later put faceplate in the color you like on it .. Never seen that in UK .. they seem to look al the same ... and are not completely in the wall ...our wall boxes are at least 50mm deep ... I do like the swich on each socket but they are so bulky the sockets and plugs in UK ..
we're too cheap for those things
@@edc1569 lol seemes uk sockets are crazy cheap .. a std single socket (niko belgium brand ) + plate in Belgium is arround 7-10 euro's ...
There's quite a few manufacturers who do similar things with the faceplate etc. Watch this space.
We do have legrand here. Expensive though. But quiet action
@@kittsdiy yeah I do find the MK Logic Plus incredibly good value, double socket is about £3 and will last decades, though for some installers thats a premium product!? Of course you can spend whatever you want really with fancy metal faed sockets going for £30+. I've always preferred the US way of doing things in terms of decorating - makes life so much easier.
Does it come with a rope edge brass cover plate, just asking for a friend
😂
Click mode?
Does the indicator module need a neutral?
Yes
Looks good, with exception of the LED module, it looks very dated amd a bit of a Friday 4pm effort. I'll definitely be giving them a try tho, do like a yoke-less 👍
Please get in touch, we would love to send you a sample to show you it was a little more than a Friday 4pm effort ;)
I've been using click mode for years. Does same thing
Maybe Premspec do it better? 🤔
@@efixx Click certainly seem to have a better range (13A DP switches in a single module, locking fan isolators, a wide range of finishes) and better documentation (the premspec catalogue doesn't give any pictures of the modules or even tell you which ones are double wide). How the quality of the actual products compares I couldn't say.
I do very little domestic work. But to make life easier I have carried Click accessories for years, forget 1 way, 2 way, intermediate. Just buy intermediates as they cover all 3 options. Reduces stock and ensures you have the correct Switch
Seems very similar in concept to the click minigrid range from Scholmore (3 modules per gang, yokeless, modular as standard) but with a more limited range of elements. In particular the range lacks lockable fan isolators and single module 13A switches. It also lacks any finishes other than white plastic. Also their documentation sucks, the individual modules are nowhere to be found on their website and the catalogue makes no mention of the fact the 20A switch and fan isolator modules are double width.
Hi Peter, thanks for the feedback. The Catalogue is in the process of being updated and I have fed your feedback back to the team doing it. As for the website this is already in process as I type this to you :-) We do not currently offer a decorative range in Verso, there is one in final stages of R&D and we hope to have this on your closest wholesalers shelves by the end of the year.
Click pro do same yolkless job
Are there dimmer modules available?
Not yet, but watch this space
Click have done this for years now, nothing new
This is nothing new and has no unique selling point over other grid systems. Several manufacturers have been making yokeless grid systems for years. E.g. Click MiniGrid (3 modules on 1 gang plate).
It's excellent quality at a reasonable price, don't knock it till you try it. 😊
This is true, thats why we placed extra time in ensuring the engineering and build quality of the items exceeded whats currently available. Accompanied with in-line terminals on FCUs and Sockets and some other great installation features within the range, to give the installers as much flexibility, thats certified to the highest industry standards and a great price
@@versoelectrical Every manufacturer claims that their product/range is the best on the market!
@@efixx I’m not knocking it, just saying it isn’t unique.
@@versoelectrical You seem to have run out of apostrophes.
