ABSTRACT:
A dimmer and switch device is adapted for mounting on a wall. The elements of the device that are visible when it is mounted on a wall are easily replaced. In another embodiment, a linear slide dimmer and push-button switch device are arranged in juxtaposition, so that a section of the dimmer slider can pass through the switch mechanism. A high-power, push-button switching device combines a high-power switch and a latching device. A dimmer includes a potentiometer that is marked by detents to permit stable, reproducible dimmer settings. The switching device and dimmer are suitable for use in the dimmer/switch.
