Push button switches are electromagnetically operated devices that enable simple, energy-saving, and safe lighting control. Typically, they are controlled by push buttons in situations where the light needs to be operated from at least three different locations. Each control pulse sent to the coil-magnet system causes the device to revert to its previous position and hold it mechanically until the next control pulse. In the event of a power failure, the last switching position is mechanically maintained. This technology significantly reduces electrical losses and the power consumption of the devices. With very quiet switching noises, push button switches are also suitable for use in public buildings, hotels, and private residences. Depending on the type, the devices can be controlled with common control voltages and are designed for a rated current of 16 A or 32 A.
