Questions & Answers
Is this a silent light switch
Asked by MD March 7, 2019No. it's a standard light switch, not one that glides smoothly and makes no sound. With normal use, it does make a sound probably capable of waking a light sleeper (but then, of course, the light would probably wake them as well).
Is this a residential or commercial switch?
Asked by JDSmith January 7, 2019Residential
can i use this in a country that uses 220 volts
Asked by al December 21, 2018No - this switch is only rated for 120v. Look for a switch that has a rating of 220v or greater.
Which is the positive and negative
Asked by Aaron December 17, 2018There is no "positive or negative" on a three-way switch. A three-way switch is used in pairs. The conductor (hot) connected to the black screw will go to the load (ie., light) and the black screw on the second three-way switch will be connected to the line (source). A red (hot) conductor will be connected to one brass screw on a three-way switch, and will be connected to the brass screw (same location) on the second three-way switch. Another hot conductor (black, or white -- coded as hot) will be connected to the other brass screw on a three-way switch, and connected to the same brass screw on the second three-way switch.
Does the wire push-in have a release slot to remove the wire with a screwdriver rather than having to cut the wire?
Asked by Crett August 6, 2018Yes, there is a slot located on the back just below the holed where you insert your wiring. A thin headed screw driver or thin alligator pliers inserted in the stot with a gentle wiggle and push should release the wires with no problem. Suggestion: Make sure the electrical power to the switch is off.
will these work with aluminum wiring ok?
Asked by ed October 29, 2016Yes
Is it Al/Cu compatible or for copper wire connections only
Asked by HDassociate October 24, 2016The switch is rated for CU and CU Clad only
Is it compatible with aluminum wiring?
Asked by Jason June 20, 2016Probably not. It is not marked CU-AL.
What is a 3-Way Toggle Switch ?
Asked by ED November 18, 2015A switch used in a residential or commercial location to control a light from two locations, such as a hallway light from two different locations. or two separate entrances into the same room. Or a light above a stairway with a switch at the top and bottom of the staircase. There is no printing on the toggle (on/off) as the switch may energize (or de-energize) the load (light) in either the up or down position.
