A: It depends of how you want to connect then!

**Q: is The switch pjastic**
A: This switch is very good quality and no it isnt plastic. BG Electrical range in my opinion is very good and looks quality.

**Q: My original swicher have "com" and "L" in the back of the switcher. is that will work with that switcher?**
A: Com = common L = live there is also a earth and should be a common neutral. All switches in t he uk are formatted in a similar way. If your I'm sure you should speak to a electrician.
