Choosing an Electrical Switch

Toggle Light Switches

Use these toggle 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.

Multi-Way Toggle Light Switches

Often used in large, open workspaces, these switches can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit. These switches fit standard wall plates (not included).

Three-way switches work in pairs to control lights from two different locations.

Use a four-way switch with two three-way switches to control lights from three different locations.

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

Multi-Way Light Dimmers

Toggle with Mini 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).
