There are different switches used for light wiring but the basic type is a single pole light switch that is used for on and off lights. In basic light switch wiring, the cable provides line voltage from the panel to the light fixture outlet box. cable connected with the light fixture box to the switch…
The electrical ballast is an electrical device connected in series with load to limit current in the circuit. The commonly used type is inductive ballast in fluorescent lamps that limits current through the tube; if not, current can be high, which can hurt the tube’s voltage-current characteristic. Balls come in different types based on complications…
With time, fluorescent lamps are becoming a common option in lighting systems since they are low-cost and require little maintenance. Either their installation cost is a bit high but it works longer than conventional incandescent lights. The fluorescent lamps use fluorescent ballasts for working. These lamps produce light with the use of current and mercury.…
Occupancy sensors use the detection of motion to show a person’s existence. They are also used for turning on lights when anyone walks in the room, for temperature adjustment, or for HVAC system ventilation. Here we will discuss the features working and other factors of the Occupancy Sensor. So let’s get started with Introduction to…
There are many reasons for installing switch and outlet combinations at home. The basic feature is that they provide an electrical circuit without having to have new wiring. An outlet can be added during light control or by turning the duplex outlets in the switched receptacle. Here we will discuss drails for wiring outlet switch…
There are no special wiring diagrams for smart switches, and the wiring process for different types of smart switches is like that of a normal single-pole or 3-way switch. However, all smart switches come with certain wiring diagrams for switches of the same brand. Here we will cover and process for smart switch wiring with…
Different types of switches are used in our electrical system to control the appliances. A smart switch is one of them that helps switch to control the remote or through preset times. For controlling lights to turn on or off, different apps on phones or tablets are used. These apps also have options to turn…
Dimmer switches are part of a light control system that uses low energy. Dimmers operate by restricting the voltage used by lights as a load. Dimmer switches work well with incandescent bulbs because they provide a larger dimming option. Dimmer switches are easy to connect to circuits. Here, we will discuss the detailed features and…
The 4-way switch is used to control 3 or more lights at different points. It is also used to control fans and ventilation systems at various points, such as in a larger room. The 4-way switches connect with 2 three-way switches for controlling a single light or many lights at 3 or more points. The…
The wiring process of the 3-way switch looks difficult process but do not worry here we will explain each step that helps to make easy 3-way switch wiring. Here we will learn the basics of a 3-way switch and make practical wiring of a 3-way switch. So let’s get started 3 way switch wiring diagram …
