Questions

A push-button switch has two buttons, one for on and one for off, a style Classic Accents says most American homes used in the first half of the 1900s. Classic Accents still makes UL-listed reproductions rated 15 amps at 120 volts, and they need a push-button wall plate. Some push buttons, such as Forbes & Lomax's, are low-voltage controls for smart home systems, not light switches on their own.
