Toggle Light Switches

But what is the difference between a rocker switch and a toggle switch, you ask? Well, operationally speaking, not a lot – they’re both on/off switches. BUT, if your style requires you to pay attention to small details; and to have something a little different from the norm, then you’ll definitely want to go for a toggle light switch – or dolly switch, as they’re sometimes known. It has to be said that toggle switches do look more interesting – a detail that will attract your attention and invite remark. They’re as likely to catch admiring glances as your stunning bubble chandeliers!

Toggle light switches require a firmer grip and a more conscious hand movement – they’re more engaging – whereas rocker switches need a bit of pressure to activate them. You can do it without thinking. It’s down to personal taste at the end of the day. Toggles come in as many beautiful finishes as dimmer and rocker switches, so you don’t need to compromise there; brass light switches, copper, silver, white and black light switches ensure there’s an option for all tastes. You can even customise the colour of the toggle lever itself if you fancy an extra level of detail.
