in this video we're going to look at the verso modular switching system
it's fair to say that even fairly small projects are becoming increasingly complex from an
electrical point of view even without factoring in smart elements we're seeing an increase in
the need for more extensive lighting controls and part of that means that switching has never been
more critical now i'm sure like me you've been in that position where you've needed a particular
combination of switches and controls from a single position and trying to get an off-the-shelf
solution with say a combination of two ways and intermediate switches in specific positions
is nigh on impossible so naturally your thoughts turn to grid switches and you start thinking about
face plates switches and jokes well the verso range makes this process one step simpler by
removing the yoke from the equation now there's a couple of things to bear in mind the first
is that verso have a couple of different yokeless systems including the primo grid
and euro module ranges the thing that makes this system particularly neat is that it's actually
just the standard verso switching accessories but made super flexible let me demonstrate you
can see here some switches from the verso range we've got a one way switch a two way a two gang
a four gang and a fan isolator looking at the back of the four gang here you can see that they're all
two-way switching which covers the majority of circumstances because obviously you can use a
two-way switch as a one-way but there are times as we've said when you may need one or more of
those switches in a specific position to be say an intermediate and verso makes this really simple by
releasing the range as individual components so you can select your own and make the switches
up in the combinations and positions that you want them all without the added hassle
of yokes so you can see here that you can get faceplates in different options we've got here
options in one two three four and six gang then you simply select the switch modules you require
in 10 amp basic switching there's one way two-way and intermediate switch is available which covers
all the basic switching arrangements you may need however verso doesn't stop there also providing
a 10 amp two-way key switch which will be great for emergency lighting and there's also a double
pole key switch available there's also this fun isolator module that could be put into the grid
switch front plate by itself or even along with a light switch and even a fuse holding module if
the fan needs fusing down not content with just light switches verso have produced elements for
this system that can be used in a setting like a kitchen or a utility room there's a 20 amp
double pole switch which again could be used by itself or in conjunction with the fuse holder for
undercover sockets to appliances there's even a flex outlet module for connecting fixed appliances
as well as an led indicator module that you could use to show when loads are switched on
and finally there's a blank module to fill in any gaps that may be left in your grid switch
so that's the range that's available let's bring the camera in and have a look at putting a couple
of units together now first of all we can make up a switching station for a bathroom light and fan
we start by selecting the modules we want and a frame so we're going to combine a switch for the
light a fan isolator switch and a fuse holder to protect the fan and we'll need a four gang switch
plate flipping the plate over we simply drop the modules into the frame making sure that the switch
is in there the correct way around and then do up the screws into the back of the plate and there we
go that's the fun isolator module mounted then we do the same for the one-way switch and the
fuse holder and that's it so simple and quick and you've got a bespoke fan isolator switch and fuse
holder ready to go or we could create a 20 amp double pole switch with neon indicator by screwing
these two modules into a three gang face plate again we screw the double pole switch into the
frame and then the led indicator and we've got the accessory ready to go and if we change our
mind and need a fuse spur instead we can swap the led indicator out for a fuse holder by undoing the
screws removing the indicator and then popping the fuse holder in there instead the possibilities for
combining these modules into different types of accessory are literally endless in addition to the
brilliant flexibility of this product there's also the great features and benefits from the regular
verso range there's the great look of the plates with the rounded edges and the curving front
and the switches also have a curved front to them which lends it a real high-end feel and love them
or hate them it's always nice to have the option of having screw covers to either use to create the
streamlined finish or throw away and pretend they never existed the accessories in the verso modular
switching system match the form factor of the other sockets and devices in the verso range so
that they'll look brilliant when they're installed together the accessories are tested and certified
to the industry's highest certificating body into tech standards and they are also supported
by a lifetime guarantee the accessories are manufactured from the highest grade urea which has
antimicrobial qualities which is very reassuring in this day and age and there's lots of features
on the non-modular accessories that normally only feature on the more costly end of the market such
as on the back of this fused connection unit here you can see that it's been designed and engineered
to have the terminals all in line with each other meaning you don't have to keep flipping it round
when you're installing it that's a really helpful and not very common feature to have on a product
at this price point adding to this large terminals and screw heads to make connections easier
along with captive screws that won't disappear on the floor when they're backed out and you've
got a range of accessories that will leave both the electrician and the end user really satisfied
so there we go that's this fantastic range of flexible options from the verso modular
switching system which we love but as always we want to hear from you what do you make of this
range and its adaptability can you think of any applications it would be perfect for do you think
the lack of a yoke makes this system much easier and more convenient to install please leave your
questions and thoughts in the comments section below and as always thank you very much for
