Single Button Light Switch?

May 14, 2009 5 Replies

At a hotel I saw a single button light switch that glowed when the button was push-toggled to turn of the lights. After pushing the button it returned to its resting position. Are these switches available for the home, as I can't find them...TIA


Look for lighted rocker switches at any HD or Lowes.

You may be looking for a Lutron dimmer called Abella. Google lutron dimmer and you should find it

Several decades ago there were single pushbutton "decorator" on/off switches, but I haven't seen them in years. I don't recall who made them. The button was about 1-1/4" in diameter and the wall plate was transparent, allowing for anything that matched the wall to be inserted; e.g., wallpaper, a paintable insert, etc.

I've got one of those in a room in my house. I can see why they are no longer made. It's a pretty stupid idea for the most part.

The only time it worked to my advantage is when I had too much furniture in there and had to set shelves in front of the switch. You bumped the shelves as you walked in the room and the light came on. Pretty neat.
