Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a momentary push-button switch and a toggle switch?

A: A momentary push-button switch only completes the circuit while it is being pressed — once you release it, the circuit opens again. This makes it ideal for doorbells, reset buttons, and tact switches on PCBs. A toggle switch, on the other hand, latches in its position (ON or OFF) until physically switched again, making it better suited for permanently controlling lights, fans, or other loads.

Q: How do I choose the right dimmer switch for LED lights?

A: Always match the dimmer switch to the type of light source. For 12V LED strips and bulbs, look for a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) LED dimmer — like our 12V 5A Touch Dimmer Switch for LED Bathroom Mirror — which controls brightness without flickering or heat buildup. Check the dimmer's maximum wattage or amperage rating and ensure it exceeds the total wattage of all connected LEDs.

Q: Are these switches and sockets suitable for outdoor use?

A: It depends on the specific product. Items such as our waterproof momentary tact push button switches and photo sensor switches are designed to handle outdoor or moisture-prone environments. Always check the IP (Ingress Protection) rating and voltage/current specifications listed on each product page before installing in outdoor or high-humidity locations.

Q: What is an 86-type junction box, and why might I need a repair kit?

A: The 86-type junction box is the standard wall-mount electrical box used across many regions for housing wall switches and sockets. Over time, the plastic threads or mounting points can crack or strip, causing the faceplate to sit loose or wobbly. Our 10-Pack 86-Type Wall Socket Box Repair Kit with Wrench provides replacement anchors and hardware to restore a secure, flush fit without replacing the entire box.
