Wall-Mount Timer Switches
Use these switches in place of standard wall switches to automatically turn electrical equipment on or off after a set interval of time. They’re often used with lights.
Switches with override can bypass the automatic shut-off.
Set switches with beep and light signals to alert when the timer is almost done; the signals can also be turned off.
Switches with set time recall retain the last setting; hold the button down to restart the timer with that setting.

Secure sensitive lighting equipment; these switches have a round key that is difficult to duplicate. The key is required to turn lights on and off. They’re keyed alike, so all switches actuate with the same key. They also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating.

Convert one or more single-speed ceiling fans to variable speed.
Controls with a switch can be turned on and off without adjusting the speed, reducing wear on the motor. Unlike knob-only controls, you can use use the switch to quickly start and stop fans without changing your settings.
Controls with a knob/switch have a rugged, sealed case that stands up to damp, rough, and other demanding environments.
Connect knob-only and slide bar/switch controls in a single-gang switch box.
