Lighting and Wall Switch Plan


        Most of the wall switches in the house will be X10 receivers so we can controll the lights in the house with X10 controllers and with the security system, and so that we can shut off all the lights on a floor easily. There are roughly 140 gang boxes.
        Additionally, most will be Decora or Decora Plus style true rocker action paddle switches rather than the traditional flip-toggle wall switches found in most homes.

Flip-Toggle Wall Switch
Decora Rocker Paddle Switch

picture of paddle switch
Used only inside closets
and in unfinished spaces.

Used extensively throughout
the house.


General X-10 Guidelines:


Leviton DHC (X-10 line from Leviton) SmartLinc (aka SwitchLink, a good X-10 line)


The Lighting Details and this page should be integrated at some point...


Where we have Fluorescent lighting loads I'd like to use: Where we have either incandescent or magnetic low voltage (halogen) lighting loads I'd like to use: Where halogen lights are not working with the above, or where we want to control cieling fans: Where no X10 control is needed, use: Where we need a switched outlet, I want to use ordinary switch plates with one outlet (or two) hot strung from the receiver/switch: Where we need a controlled outlet, I want to use: Products of interest if needed:
