Leviton Telcom 1221-LHR Toggle Light Switch 20A 120V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 1221-LHR is a single-pole toggle light switch rated for 20 amps at 120 volts AC. It is designed for standard branch-circuit switching applications in residential and light commercial electrical systems. The toggle-style actuator provides a familiar, reliable switching action for controlling lighting loads. Licensed electricians install this switch as part of new construction wiring or as a direct replacement for worn or failed single-pole devices. At 20A, it supports higher-load circuits compared to standard 15-amp switches, making it suitable where code or load calculations require the added capacity.

This switch is appropriate for use in residential homes, apartments, offices, and light commercial spaces wherever a single-pole toggle switch is required to control a lighting circuit from one location. It fits standard single-gang electrical boxes and is compatible with typical 20-amp branch circuits wired in accordance with NEC requirements. The 120-volt AC rating makes it suitable for standard North American electrical systems.
