An electrical switch with identifying features. Embodiments include an electrical switch that comprises a rocker that is pivotable between a first position and a second position such that the electrical circuit is energized when the rocker is in the first position and deenergized when the rocker is in the second position, a cover arranged within the rocker such that a front surface of the cover is viewable by a user; an interchangeable label arrangeable a rear surface of the cover, a light pipe arrangeable proximate a rear surface of the interchangeable label, and an illuminating element. In embodiments, the electrical switch may include a tactile switch arranged proximate a rear surface of the light pipe, such that the tactile switch can be activated by an application of rearward pressure to the cover.

The invention relates to an electric switch that serves to switch on and/or off electric devices and for this purpose has a contact system in the switch housing. By means of a manual actuating element or a remotely controlled actuator, a switching operation can be effected.

A seesaw switch includes a rocker configured to rock by a press operation; a first fulcrum located at least at one end portion in a longitudinal direction of the rocker; a second fulcrum located between the one end portion and another end portion opposite to the one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the rocker; and a main switch disposed on the another end portion opposite to the one end portion at which the first fulcrum is located in the rocker and configured to have contact with the rocker due to rock of the rocker by the press operation, wherein a fulcrum of the rocker is switched between the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum in accordance with an amount of the press operation to the another end portion opposite to the one end portion at which the first fulcrum is located in the longitudinal direction of the rocker.

A remote control device may control electrical loads and/or load control devices of a load control system without accessing electrical wiring. The remote control device may include a control unit and a base that may be configured to be mounted over a paddle actuator of an installed mechanical switch. The base may include a frame, a biasing member, and/or a ribbon portion. The frame may be configured to secure the remote control device thereto. The frame may define a rear surface that is configured to abut a bezel of the mechanical switch. The biasing member may be configured to engage a rear surface of a faceplate of the mechanical switch. The ribbon portion may be configured to attach the biasing member to the frame. The ribbon portion may be configured to extend through a gap between the bezel and the faceplate.
