This rocker switch is new one it came out. it have 2 ,3 or 4 single pole switch set up in a single gang switch device.
i will describe it breifly here it do come in 3 color slection as far i know maybe will add more and back of the switch it is back wired/with screw on it and the housing is pretty big and rugged.
i will add more detail after i will install one in next few days so i can tell you what you think about it.
www.passandseymour.com
this is pdf verison of decorator device it will show picture and few details there
www.passandseymour.com/decorator/deco_jmp_pdfs/switches.pdf it will take a couple of seconds to download it and go to page 6 and 7 [near the end of pdf file ] and it will show the combation devices.

| I don't normally like to use this type of combination device but sometimes they are necessary. Nice looking and very functional units. I like the setup of being able to have a 3 way and single pole in one unit. Also plug in pilot light. I think these will be popular. Jim

| ok: here is the update.
i did install it and it look very nice and very strong in construction degsign wise. this switch i installed today it came 2- 3 way rocker switch set up and it have 6 screw on the back and the center tab to break it to seperate circuit but i did not because it have dual " common " screw there. but only one little disavange was on the back it was little hard to see the print for which circuit it goes like "a" and "b" but other wise it install it nicely. and grounding screw is in very nice place where it dont short out anything behind the device at all.
merci[thanks], marc

| I've used those 3/way-3/way decora style switches, but only if I have too, they are a little akward and more expensive than two 3/way switches. I just installed for the first time an Intermattic METAL in-use weather proof cover....very nice...it sure beats those cheap looking plastic see through ones...a few dollars more though.

| I just installed a combonation outlet/nightlite from the same manufacture. It looked like it would be great and save on energy,but after installing it i found that it was not nearly as bright as my old plug in type nightlite. It did look better but didn't serve the purpose of lighting the dark stairway.Just wanted to share in case someone was looking to upgrade to these in htere home. Not worth the $25.00!
