Choosing an Electrical Switch

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. With a protruding switch, they’re easily flipped on and off. These switches fit standard wall plates (not included).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.

Easy-Clean Touch Light Switches

Flat and completely smooth, these switches are easy to wipe down. They’re rated NEMA 3R, so they seal out water that could damage the circuitry. They also won’t corrode from mild cleaning solutions. With just a light tap, you can switch lights on and off, even if you’re wearing gloves.

Switches with a stainless steel wall plate resist wear and tear better than switches with a plastic wall plate.
