FAQs
What types of electrical switches does Sunbright offer under the Exceptional-Performance line?
Our Exceptional-Performance series includes single-pole, double-pole, three-way, four-way, dimmer, momentary, and specialty smart switches. Each model is engineered with thermoset or polycarbonate housings, high-conductivity copper alloy contacts, and arc-suppression technology to ensure long service life even in demanding residential, commercial, or industrial applications.
How do I choose between a single-pole and a three-way switch for my project?
A single-pole switch controls one circuit from one location, making it ideal for rooms with a single entrance. A three-way switch controls the same lighting circuit from two different locations—perfect for stairwells, hallways, or large rooms with multiple access points. If you need control from three or more locations, consider a four-way switch in conjunction with two three-way switches.
Are Sunbright Exceptional-Performance switches compatible with smart-home systems?
Yes. We offer Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave variants that integrate seamlessly with leading platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and SmartThings. You can schedule lighting, monitor energy consumption, and enable remote operation through our free Sunbright Control app or your preferred ecosystem.
What amperage and voltage ratings are available, and how do I choose the right one?
Most residential lighting circuits require 15 A, 120 V switches, while heavier loads—such as large ceiling fans or commercial lighting—may call for 20 A or 277 V ratings. Always match the switch rating to the circuit breaker or fuse protecting the circuit, and never exceed the stated amperage. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician or refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines.
Can I install Exceptional-Performance switches myself, or should I hire a professional?
Many homeowners replace single-pole or three-way switches themselves by turning off the breaker, confirming power is off, and following the color-coded wiring diagram provided in the box. However, if your project involves aluminum wiring, smart-switch integration, multi-gang boxes, or unfamiliar circuitry, hiring a licensed electrician is strongly recommended to ensure code compliance and safety.
What safety and compliance certifications do Sunbright switches carry?
All Exceptional-Performance switches are UL-listed, CSA-certified, and RoHS-compliant. They also meet or exceed ANSI/NEMA WD-1 test requirements for mechanical endurance and dielectric strength. For commercial builds, our 277 V models are additionally rated for NEC 2017 energy-code compliance (ASHRAE 90.1 and Title 24). These certifications guarantee reliable operation and adherence to North American safety standards.
