Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a rocker switch and a toggle switch?

A toggle switch features a small protruding lever that clicks up and down. A rocker switch (or decora switch) is a flat, broad paddle that rocks between positions. Rocker switches, like the Legrand switch Radiant series, are considered more modern and easier to operate.

When do I need a 3 way switch?

You need a 3 way switch when you want to control one light fixture from two different wall locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase.

Can I replace a standard light switch with a smart switch?

Yes, but most smart switch models require a neutral wire for power. Always check your home's wiring before purchasing a WiFi or Bluetooth-integrated switch.

What is a Decora switch?

"Decora" is a common term for any rocker switch that fits into a large rectangular wall plate opening, matching the profile of the Legrand switch Radiant collection.

How do I know if I have a single pole or 3-way circuit?

If only one switch controls the light, it is a single pole. If two switches control the same light, both switches are 3-way.
