Default Low voltage lighting - Indoor


"Kramertheman" wrote in message
. ..
I have a house that was built in the 60's. The lights in my house use a

low
voltage lighting system that uses relays and rocker switches. You must
press down on the on side of the rocker switch to operate the associated
relay and turn the lights on or the off side of the rocker switch to turn
the lights off. Apparently this is an outdated system and replacement
switches an relays are impossible to find. Does anybody know of a source
for this type of equipment or a modern equivalent that can be used as a
replacement.?

Thanks

Replacement parts are available. Check with some of your local electrical
supply companies. The relays may not be identical, but they should work.
You probably will not be able to get identical replacement switches, but a
substitute should be available. There are two wire systems and three wire
systems. It sounds as though you have a three wire system. One common
wire, one wire for off, and one wire for on.
