The reason being that the LW10G/LW11G would fit into a standard German
wall switch box but, due to its length, it wouldn't go into a standard
wall switch box in the UK. In addition, all German wall switch boxes have
both live and neutral whereas we normally only have live available.

Electrically speaking, they will work in either country. It is the
physical dimension and neutral connection requirement that set them apart.
