FAQ
What is the difference between a 3-way switch and a standard switch?
A 3-way switch allows you to control a single light from two different locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase, whereas a standard switch controls a light from one location only.
Can I use these switches with aluminum wiring?
No, these switches are designed for copper or copper-clad wire only. Using them with aluminum wiring may not provide a secure connection and could pose safety risks.
Are these switches compatible with dimmer functions?
No, these are standard 3-way toggle switches for on/off control and do not support dimming. For dimming capabilities, you would need a dedicated dimmer switch model.
How many switches are included in the pack?
This pack includes six individual 3-way toggle switches, making it convenient for multiple installations or larger projects without the need for separate purchases.
What tools are required for installation?
Basic tools like a screwdriver (compatible with Robertson, Phillips, or slotted heads) and wire strippers are sufficient. The Quickwire terminals allow for tool-free connections with No. 14 AWG solid copper wire.
