Leviton Telcom M1221-LHW Illuminated Single-pole Switch 20A

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM M1221-LHW is an illuminated single-pole switch built on the Lev-Lok modular wiring system platform. Rated at 20 amps and 120 volts, this device is designed for commercial and residential branch-circuit switching applications where a visual indicator is required. The built-in illumination allows users to locate the switch in low-light or dark conditions, a practical feature in corridors, stairwells, and mechanical rooms. It ships in a white finish and is sold as a single unit. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the primary installers for this device.

The M1221-LHW is intended for use within the Lev-Lok modular wiring system, which accepts snap-in wiring devices into a common faceplate and strap assembly. It is suited for light-duty to medium-duty switching loads on standard 120-volt single-phase branch circuits. Typical installation environments include commercial office spaces, hospitality facilities, multi-unit residential buildings, and industrial support areas where consistent device aesthetics and modular interchangeability are priorities.
