@Heidi68 after working as an electrical engineer for the past 10 years, I learned that about people very quickly in the early part of my career.
You have to pull the box from the wall and rotate it 180^ , duh.
It took me a while to figure this out. The wall socket has been put in the wrong way round! ???
I think that one is for australia. Did you buy it direct from china?
The one pictured is definitely NOT meant for Australia, we have them with the switches at the top and the sockets at the bottom with the active terminal on the left, the neutral on the right and the earth on the bottom of the power socket.
@Jacar What are you jealous of all clean, fresh air, lack of pollution, wonderful sunshine and the open spaces within 5-10 minutes that I live in?
@Jacar Well, since reality is the only REAL thing in life, WHY not?
@Jacar To which socket are you referring?
@Jacar Yes, it IS bloody weird to say the least.
