Regular Push Button Light Switches - These control one light from one location. They are technically known as single pole switches. Choose from versions with one or two pearlized inlays, black inlays, or color capped buttons. Lifetime warranty. Buy genuine Classic Accents push button switches.
3-Way Pushbutton Switches - These allow you to control one light from two locations. They are used in pairs and are popular for long hallways, stairways, and rooms with two entrances and exits. (A three-way switch is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a 2-way push button switch. Actual 2-way switches have a different function and are very specialized with complex wiring.) Lifetime warranty.
4-Way Push-Button Switch - Use one of these switches along with the set of 3 way switches if you want to turn the lights on or off from 3 or more locations. Lifetime warranty.
Push Button Dimmer Switch - Available in single pole and 3-way configurations, these convenient updates to the old fashion push button switches have a top knob that pushes in and out to turn the light or off and a bottom knob that rotates to allow you to set the lighting to a comfortable level. Available in 300W and 600W versions depending upon how much power your lighting fixture needs. For example, a lamp or a sconce might be fine with a 300 watt switch but a chandelier would likely require a 600 watt dimmer. Note: When installing a 3-way dimmer, pair it with a 3-way switch (not a dimmer) to achieve your 3-way setup as the lights can only be dimmed from one location but turned on and off at that level from either location.
Buy patented Classic Accents push button dimmers.
Trimmed Push Button Light Dimmers - Narrow push button dimmers are required if you are installing them next to another dimmer or non-mechanical-latching device. The large flange around the switch helps dissipate heat, but when trimmed off so as to avoid overlapping and overheating, it can't carry as large a load. This is known as derating and causes the 300 watt dimmers to max out at 200 watts and the 600 watt dimmers to be limited to 400 watts maximum.
Dual Pushbutton Light Switches - Each button on these stacked switches controls a separate light fixture. Simply push to turn on then push again to turn off. Shop for regular dual pushbutton switches or dual three-way push-button devices.
Dual Momentary Low Voltage Push Button Switches - A crossover between vintage push-button and low-voltage switches, these 12 volt electrical devices are typically used for garage doors or under-cabinet lighting fixtures. Each button on these two-button momentary switches can control a different light and independently pushes on and off. (Note that they CANNOT be used in low voltage systems like those from Touchplate or General Electric.)

The antique reproduction push-button light switches above work with standard wiring and would not be compatible with the specialized lighting setup found in low voltage homes.
