High-Security Key-Actuated Light Switches

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.
Wireless Light Switches
Control lights by transmitting a wireless signal from these switches to a control relay (sold separately) on your fixture. Switches can be surface mounted with a wall plate or used as a hand-held remote. No batteries or secondary power source are needed.
