Outlets & Switches

Different types of light switches

Toggle switches, also known as traditional light switches, are the most common type of light switch found in homes and buildings. They feature a simple on/off lever that can be flipped up or down to control the light.

On the other hand, smart switches are an advanced type of light switch that can be controlled remotely through a mobile app or voice commands. These switches often include features like scheduling, dimming, and energy monitoring, making them a convenient and efficient choice for many people.

Decora switches are a more modern take on the toggle switch, featuring a flat plate and a small, rectangular rocker that can be pushed up or down to turn the light on or off. These switches are popular because they offer a sleek and minimalist look, and are available in a wide range of colors and finishes to match any decor style.

Choosing the correct light switch depends greatly on the light fixture it will control. Indoor lighting, landscape lighting, security lighting etc. will benefit from having the proper amout of control needed.

Outlets come in a variety of types

Outlets are an essential component of any electrical system, providing a safe and reliable way to power appliances and devices. Traditional outlets feature two or three slots that can accommodate standard plugs.

However, with the increasing use of electronic devices, USB outlets have become a popular alternative. These outlets include built-in USB ports, making it possible to charge smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices directly from the outlet.

Additionally, outlets with built-in night lights have become a popular choice in bedrooms, hallways, and other areas where a low-level light source is desirable. These outlets typically feature a small, energy-efficient LED light that provides a soft glow to help prevent trips and falls in the dark. Overall, the wide range of outlet options available today allows homeowners to tailor their electrical systems to their specific needs and preferences.
