Light switches are among the electrical components that most people usually overlook. However, they are an integral part of electrical systems in every home, office and business. Light switches are used to control the lights by powering them on and off. Today, there are new models of light switches that can provide more than just the on and off functions. Some light switches can also regulate the brightness of light fixtures.
Although light switches come in various types and models, they all work in controlling lights and light fixtures in living and work spaces. To make sure that the switches are efficient and operate as required, they must be installed correctly. However, light switches can also experience damage or succumb to wear and tear over time.
