1 Way Light Switches|Light Switches| RS

A 1 way light switch, also known as a single-pole switch, is a simple electrical switch that is used to turn a light or other electrical device on or off from a single location. It is the most basic type of switch and is commonly found in homes and businesses.With a 1 way switch, there is only one switch mechanism that controls the flow of electricity to the light or device. When the switch is in the "on" position, the circuit is closed and electricity flows through the switch to the device, turning it on. When the switch is in the "off" position, the circuit is open and electricity is prevented from flowing to the device, turning it off.1 way switches are typically wired in a "switch loop" configuration, where the hot wire from the power source is connected to the common terminal of the switch, and the hot wire from the device is connected to the other terminal of the switch. When the switch is turned on, electricity flows from the power source through the switch to the device, turning it on.1 way switches are a simple and straightforward way to control a light or other electrical device from a single location.&nbsp;RS offers a wide range of 1 way switches from leading suppliers such as ABB, Legrand, MK Electric and Siemens.&nbsp;
