Choosing an Electrical Switch

Use these rocker switches to control lighting. They also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating. All fit standard wall plates (not included).

Wall switch lockouts (sold separately) mount over switches to secure them in the on or off position.

For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.

Multi-Way Rocker Light Switches

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. All fit standard wall plates (not included).

Wall switch lockouts (sold separately) mount over switches to secure them in the on or off position.

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.

Multi-Way Light Dimmers

Rocker with Slide Dimmer

Often used in large, open workspaces, these switches can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control the brightness of lights on the same circuit. They're also known as three-way switches and work in pairs to control lights from two different locations. The actuator to turn lights on and off is separate from the dimmer to maintain a desired lighting level. They fit standard wall plates (not included).

Rocker Switches

Illuminated Two-Position Switch

Illuminated Three-Position Switch

Illuminated two-position switches light up when the power is switched on.

Illuminated three-position switches stay lit regardless of switch position.

Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Design-Your-Own Rocker Switches

Choose from a variety of messages and colored lenses to combine a rocker with a base for a complete switch.

Bases with an on-on position designation alternate power between sets of terminals.

Optional wiring sockets make it easier to align wires and must be used with the compatible female quick-disconnect terminals listed.

Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Illuminated Switch with Wire Leads

Maximize space in a panel—these switches are smaller than most standard rocker switches.

Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
