Cheap Lutron SC-1-MR Claro Single-gang Wallplate Merlot Review




Pros: "Midnight" (black) wall plate looks great (I did not see / use many other colors) and once installed looks very clean - no screws, etc. definitely an upgrade from "standard" classroom wall plates.
Weaknesses: The eligibility of a plate in front of backup plate very close and photographing the plate to cover the treatment requires a little patience (or long nails) Of course you should only have to do it once but if you take a flat blade screwdriver to pry the front cover, beCareful not to 'depression' or scratch the plastic base with a blade screwdriver.
Notes: I noticed the pricing on these things varies widely (between $ 5.00 to $ 11.25 each) so you'd better shop around. We used these plates for all wall switches and means (13 total) in "communications" with a dark wall color and found that we had trouble finding the light switches in the dark ( "Midnight" is correct). So we replaced the switch plates 3 Midnight Black Lutron Claro stainless steel plates butContinued his successes midnight black wall AC power receptacle. The problem was solved (with stainless steel plates and switch mechanisms midnight look great, too)
Overall: very pleased
