Browse Forums Building A New House Re: light switch orientation: landscape or portrait? 9Jan 19, 2021 12:28 pm done New build Electrician has installed all light switches in a horizontal landscape layout and not a portrait orientation. Should we ask to change this? When we noticed and asked they said they have never done them any other way. When we asked an electrician we know they said they have only seen this done a few times. Yes power-points are normally landscape but light switches portrait. Do we change them or not? Re: light switch orientation: landscape or portrait? 10Jan 20, 2021 8:54 am All of ours are horizontal. I never thought about it before, it doesn't really bother me. I'm more annoyed by stupid things I've noticed in our house like a pair of switches where the left switch turns on the right half of the room... and when you have two switches at either end of the room and they're opposite so you can't have both switches off when the light is off... LOL These things are probably easily fixed and I will ask our electrician next time he comes to install some new pendants. Any electricians here please help. 1) Will the Fan need separate switch to ON/OFF/Speed eventhough it comes with Remote 2) how about… 0 1234 0 636 Landscape Design Parramatta We have been doing a large amount of landscape design work in Sydney… 0 3 |
