fits. This happens when you do not know how to choose this device. To buy exactly the device that you need, follow simple tips.

  1. Look at the place where the old switch was installed. If there is a recess, then you need a device for flush mounting. If there is no recess, this means that you should purchase a light switch that is mounted outside the wall.
  2. Pay attention to your chandelier. If it has one light bulb, or several with a parallel connection, then purchase a switch with one key. If the lamp has a large number of bulbs and two or three channels, then you need a device with the appropriate number of keys.

You can not only turn the light on and off, but also set a specific time to activate the lighting device. If you need to "dim" the light, you can use the special program built into this switch.
