Just a clarifacation on the Fry's switches (go to Fry's and search for "HAL switch" to find them). Currently they're $38 each. A whopper of a deal btw...
Steve correctly identified these switches earlier in this thread as the SAI model US1130W. This switch is still being made; in fact its one of SAIs best sellers. Something Steve didn't know was that the US1130 does accept SAI's replacable faceplates. This means that you can change colors freely. You can also choose the "dual tall" faceplate configuration for a dual rocker on the same switch. The US1130 won't accept push button or 4 rocker faceplates though.
My house consists entirely of these switches. They can be a challenge to fit into older boxes. However, I've found that I can simply use a file on the square plastic corners to round them out. This technique became a quick and easy way to get them to fit into some of the older boxes in my home (built in 1958).
Build quality and color control is excellent. Here's a pic of of an upgraded 3 gang wall plate in my house showing this:
Here's my (in)famous picture showing how this same wallplate looked with switchlincs. I've used this one before during a Switchlinc rant on this forum....
The above picture represents Switchlincs from 2000 to 2004. Notice how many times the appearance as well as the "white" color has changed in a mere 4 years. I won't ever buy another Switchlinc in part due to Smarthomes horrendous build quality. A quick search of this forum will show that Insteons suffer from this same (lack of) build quality.
Granted, the picture does show 4 years of switchlinc production. However, by comparison, here's a 2 gang wall plate showing US1130s installed 2 years ago:
As you can see, there's zero styling differences to the 3 gang switches I installed two years later..
Bottom line here: UPB isn't as expensive as you would think and the build quality is professional grade. The 1130 is rated at 1000W for a reason: it's a sherman tank. Most of the switchbody itself is a huge heatsink.
