Made up a dimmer. Requirement was three LED dimmers and an on/off switch. So made one up on a 2-Gang blank plate, V-Plus modules and matching switch, and knobs - all from TLC.
The blank plate flat metal, so as thin as they come.
If you push the knobs on fully, the push switches no longer work. Either the shafts too short, or the knobs too deep.
and there I was, thinking you're shallow.
Odd, I made up a v-pro dimmer on a blank MK logic+ plate (thicker than a metal plate for sure) and the push on/off had enough depth to work properly.
Blue tack inside the knob. Brian
Since they had slots, likely to just squeeze out the sides? Small washers did it.
I've used steel nuts. A little less fiddly but not so fine grained.
Did try that but the knobs stuck out a bit too far.
Was that a TLC knob? And was it pushed on fully - they are quite tight, and worked OK to begin with.
No, I think the knob came with the v-pro
Doesn't help you (sorry!) but I needed a combo of a switch and a dimmer for the kitchen so used the LAP grid system via Screwfix - was very impressed. Pity the brushed metal face plate didn't match the screwless sockets elsewhere in the kitchen but a small price to pay.
Ah - I wanted chrome ones listed below the dimmers on the TLC page.
If I'd been happy with something that didn't match I could have save both money and time.
