    Similar to a seesaw, these switches have an actuator that pivots when pressed to turn them on or off. They’re often used to control lighting, but they also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating. All fit standard wall plates (not included) and won’t stick out from your wall as much as toggle light switches.
    Spring-Clamp-Terminal Wire Connection—Switches with spring-clamp terminals are quicker to install than those with screw terminals. Just push your bare wires into the connectors.
    Illuminated—Illuminated switches glow when turned off, making them easy to spot in the dark.
    Power Indicator—Switches with a power indicator glow when activated. This means you can see whether a device or outlet is powered directly on the switch even if they’re in different rooms.

    3-Way Switches with

    Spring-Clamp-Terminal

    Wire Connection

    Also known as three-way switches, these are often used in large, open workspaces and can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit. They work in pairs to control lights from two different locations. Actuate the switch by pressing on the wide, flat area. With a slim, low-profile design, they protrude less than toggle switches. All fit standard wall plates (not included).
    Spring-Clamp-Terminal Wire Connection—Switches with spring-clamp terminals install quickly to create a secure connection. Just push a stripped wire into the clamp—no need to bend wire and screw it down.

    Rocker Switch Actuator with Slide Dimmer and Rocker Switch Actuator with Mini Slide Dimmer—Slide dimmers include both a switch and a dimmer. Use them to turn lights on and off while maintaining your desired brightness level.
    LED—Dimmers for LEDs only use the 0-10V dimming standard—pair them with 0-10V DC dimmable bulbs.
    3-Way Switch—Three-way dimmers let you control the same circuit of lights from two locations, so they’re often used in large, open workspaces. Pair them with a 3-way on/off switch.

    The wide surface of these switches makes them easy to press on and off, even if your hands are full and you need to use an elbow. They’re often used as power switches on electronic devices and control panels.
    Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed the bulb voltage.
    Illuminated—Illuminated switches are easy to see in dim and dark areas. They come in red and green, so you can color code your set up.
    For 13/16" Diameter Panel Cutouts—Switches for a 13/16” dia. panel cutout are round, so you can use a drill bit or knockout to install them instead of cutting a rectangular hole.

    Smart Light Switches

    Flip a switch from here, there, or anywhere—these switches connect wirelessly to your phone or smart device. Use the downloadable app and built-in Wi-Fi connection to quickly sync these switches to your device. Not only can you turn the lights on and off from the app, but you can also program a lighting schedule that doesn't interfere with manual use. For example, set your lights to turn off automatically at the end of a shift. Someone working in the area can still turn them on or off throughout the day.
