Choosing an Electrical Switch

Rocker Switches
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
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.
