Leviton Telcom M1221-LHC Lev-lok Illuminated Switch 20A

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M1221-LHC is an illuminated single-pole switch designed for the Lev-Lok wiring device system. It operates at 20 amps and 120 volts, making it suitable for standard branch circuit applications in residential and light commercial settings. The built-in illumination feature allows the switch location to be visible in low-light or dark conditions, a practical detail for hallways, stairwells, utility rooms, and similar spaces. Licensed electricians typically specify this switch where code or building practice calls for a lighted switch location on a 20-amp circuit. It ships as a single unit.

This switch is intended for use with the Lev-Lok modular wiring device system. It fits into Lev-Lok compatible wallplates and device frames, which use a twist-lock mounting style rather than traditional screw-terminal or snap-in devices. Typical applications include 20-amp, 120-volt branch circuits in residential construction, multi-family housing, and light commercial interiors where a single-pole switching function with locator illumination is required.

Key Features

• Illuminated rocker or switch body for low-light location visibility
• Single-pole switching function for standard branch circuit control
• Rated 20 amps at 120 volts for use on 20-amp circuits
• Compatible with the Lev-Lok modular device system
• Single unit per package, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Lev-Lok compatible wallplates and modular device frames rated for 20-amp, 120-volt single-pole switching applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. The Lev-Lok system uses a twist-lock device mounting method, so confirm the wallplate and frame are compatible before installing. Do not install on circuits exceeding the rated 20-amp, 120-volt parameters.
