About this item

A 16A 1-way switch is an electrical switch used to control the flow of electricity in a single circuit. It is designed to handle a maximum current of 16 amperes, making it suitable for medium to high-power applications.

The term "1-way" indicates that the switch has only one set of contacts, allowing it to control the flow of electricity to a single electrical load, such as a light fixture or a group of lights. In other words, it can turn the load either on or off, but it cannot control it from multiple locations.

These switches are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to control lighting, appliances, and other electrical devices. They come in various designs and styles to suit different applications and aesthetic preferences.

Overall, a 16A 1-way switch provides a simple and reliable means of controlling electrical circuits, offering convenience and safety in various environments.
