[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1412947, member: 9096"] The only problem there is everyone claims to have good (or better) quality, and there is no independent testing done that actually looks for durability.. so while there is no way to know if the quality is actually better, you're stupid if you pay a higher price for a piece of garbage. My dad worked at a testing facility in Switzerland in the mid 60's.. EVERY electrical component sold there had to go through RIGOROUS testing.. it had to meet certain physical criteria, as well as safety (Like UL, CSA, DOT etc).. I don't know what the accepted failure rate was, but switches had to go through 1 million cycles to be accepted.. likewise for light bulbs, they had to meet a certain number of on/off cycles, mechanical vibration, etc. Problem with all these certifications is that over time the standards will get degraded so that everyone gets a trophy, and once again you're left to shop for the lowest price because once again it's all garbage [/QUOTE]
