1GANG 1WAY SWITCH

A 1-gang 1-way switch is a type of electrical switch commonly used in residential and commercial settings to control the flow of electricity to a single lighting or electrical circuit. The term "1-gang" refers to the size of the switch plate, indicating that it is designed to fit in a standard single-gang electrical box, which can accommodate one switch. The term "1-way" indicates that the switch has a single control point, allowing the user to turn the connected circuit on or off from one location.

The 1-gang 1-way switch typically has two terminals, allowing the switch to interrupt or complete the electrical circuit. When the switch is in the "on" position, the circuit is closed, and electricity can flow through the connected device or lighting fixture. When the switch is in the "off" position, the circuit is open, and the flow of electricity is interrupted, turning off the connected device or lighting fixture.

These switches are commonly used in rooms or areas where only one control point is necessary, such as bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways. They provide a simple and convenient way to control the lighting or electrical devices in a specific area without the need for additional control points.
