Our verdict

A dependable bulk pack of single pole rocker switches for whole-house jobs, with two wiring options. Wall plates are not part of the pack and each switch controls only one location.

Overview

Electricians and landlords redoing a whole house get a bulk box of rocker switches that swap in for any standard single pole switch. Side screw and push wire terminals both accept unstranded wire, and captive mounting screws come attached to each device.

Buying by the box gives every room the same paddle and finish, and the Radiant line matches its own screwless wall plates. Those plates are not in the pack, and the push wire holes refuse anything but the smaller copper gauge.

Who it's for

Contractors, flippers and property managers outfitting many rooms at once benefit from the master pack. Homeowners replacing a three-way or dimmer location need a different device, since each unit here is a single pole on and off switch.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Bulk pack for whole-house jobs
  • Side screw and push wire terminals
  • Captive mounting screws
  • Narrow body eases crowded boxes
Cons
  • Wall plates not included
  • Push wire accepts only one copper gauge
  • Single pole only, no three-way use
  • Warranty terms not listed

Performance notes

Switching runs through brass contacts behind a paddle that rocks between two positions. Wiring goes faster through the push wire holes, though they grip only unstranded copper of the smaller listed gauge, so heavier wire goes under the side screws. A narrow back body leaves more room in crowded electrical boxes.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Legrand TM870 rocker switch install in an existing box?

It replaces a standard single pole switch. Captivated mounting screws come attached, and the narrow back body leaves more room for wires in the electrical box. Wire it with the side screws or the push wire holes.

Does the Legrand TM870WMP pack include wall plates?

No. The included component is the rocker switch itself. Radiant screwless wall plates are a separate item.

Can the Legrand rocker switch control a light from two locations?

No. It is a single pole, 1-way switch for one location.

What is the Legrand Radiant switch made of?

A high-impact resistant thermoplastic body with brass contacts.
