Choosing an Electrical Switch

Illuminated Two-Position Switch

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

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.

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.

Miniature Rocker Switches

Illuminated Switch

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.

Rocker Light Switches

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.

Switches with spring-clamp terminals are quicker to install than those with screw terminals. Just push your bare wires into the connectors.

Illuminated switches glow when turned off, making them easy to spot in the dark.

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

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. 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).

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.

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