These are often marked with a "1" for on and "0" for off.

How does a rocker switch work?

A rocker switch has independent circuitry which means that a light is visible on the face of the switch in both the on and off positions, allowing the switch to be found easily in the dark. With dependent circuitry, the light would be activated only when the switch is on. Many common household switches are rocker switches.

What do rocker switch covers do?

Rocker switch covers protect the rocker switch from workshop dust and grime. They are also often splash proof, fitting securely over the rocker switch to provide protection against water damage.
