Actually, some people call regular light switches toggle switches,

Not me. As far as I'm concerned, a toggle switch is one that if you do
the same thing to it each time, it reverses the setting. So a button
that if you pressed it would turn the lights on, and if you pressed it
again would turn them off, would be a toggle switch. A regular light
switch has two different positions, one for on and one for off, and
that's the opposite of a toggle switch.

I'm sure you know that. I'm saying it for anyone here who doesn't know
it.

Did you look at my links?

No. For some reason, neither one worked here.


Yes, I'm aware you said "Not me" :-)

But what do you call the switches I pointed to? When you go into Radio
Shack or Home Depot, what do you ask for?

I never go into Radio Shack. g If I go into Home Depot, I can find
switches by myself in the electrical department, but I wanted to ask
for them I would ask for light switches or wall switches.

That is also true of me, but I had fun asking...

If you want to look, I'll try bit.ly:

They both worked, and it's the radio shack one that's the kind I
remembered being called a toggle switch.
