Wall Switches

A wall switch (electric switch) is an installation component made up of a mechanism and a rocker cover, mounted in a wall box or on the surface to turn a lighting circuit on and off by hand. A single-rocker switch is used to turn one lamp group on and off from one point, a two-circuit switch to light two lamp groups separately from the same box, and a two-way switch to turn the same lamp on and off from two separate points. Spring-return light and bell push buttons are preferred in staircase timer and bell circuits, and a blind control switch for shutter motors. In this category, the Schneider Electric Yeni Unica, Asfora and Merten System-D series and the Viko Karre, Meridian and Karre 55 series also include illuminated and labeled models of these types; IP54 surface-mounted types are grouped under the Wet Location Switches subcategory. Choose the switch type by the control method of the circuit, the series and color to match the frame and box on the wall, and illuminated or not by the need to find it in the dark. Frames and rocker covers are series-specific; whether the mechanism comes with its rocker cover can be seen from the supplied components on the product page.
