Switch name?
Looking for some of those in line light switches for table lamps, Wickes
call them a 'through switch' but I can't find them on the SF site. Any idea what the proper name is? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

They are also known as 'inline' or 'rocker' switches. A rocker switch simply refers to the actual switch mechanism. Most light switches are of this type these days - as opposed to toggle or push. 'In line' says what the device actually is. 'Torpedo' is a bit open to misinterpretation... -- *Warning: Dates in Calendar are closer than they appear.
