Wiring, Switches, Dimmers, Powerpoints

Most of the upgrades on electricals were the addition of powerpoints, downlights, lights, switches, etc. The standard inclusion were Clipsal slimline, that look pretty good, but I was able to upgrade all switching mechanisms to Clipsal Impress to add that touch of class, not to mention how handy they will be for finding the switch in the dark. I know a lot of people spend a lot of money on C-Bus or Saturn switches, but I came across some info that said there are some aethestic limitations, particularly with 3 way switching. For example, a light switched elsewhere may not trigger the lighting in a Saturn/C-Bus 3-way switch. Our electrican knew exactly what I was talking about and said they have to provide additional wiring as a workaround, so even more reason to stick with the basic slimline and add impress mechanisms.
