Abstract
A double pole LED outlet switch includes a power outlet receptacle with upper and lower receptacles, and a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch. The DPDT switch is positionable between an UNSWITCHED position and a SWITCHED position. The DPDT switch enables a user to provide either continuous power or switched power to at least the lower receptacle outlet double pole LED outlet switch. The double pole LED outlet switch may be configured as either an independent or a dual double pole LED outlet switch. Both the independent and dual outlet double pole LED outlet switches are most efficiently utilized if installed during construction. A post construction double pole LED outlet switch receptacle may be realized in two types of configurations. One configuration is a master unit and one configuration is a slave unit.
Claims23
A double pole light emitting diode (LED) outlet switch comprising:
- a power outlet receptacle including a first receptacle outlet and a second receptacle outlet;
- a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch positionable between an unswitched position and a switched position;
- wherein the DPDT switch is configured to enable a user to selectively provide either continuous power or switched power to at least one of the first and the second receptacle outlets of the double pole LED outlet switch, thereby to enhance flexibility in selectively connecting an electrically powered device such as a lamp to one of the receptacle outlets.
A dual double pole light emitting diode (LED) outlet switch comprising:
- a power outlet receptacle including a first receptacle outlet and a second receptacle outlet;
- a first DPDT switch associated with the first receptacle outlet, the first DPDT switch being positionable between an unswitched position and a switched position, and being configured to enable a user to provide either continuous power or switched power to the first receptacle outlet double LED outlet switch;
- and
- a second DPDT switch associated with the second receptacle outlet, the second DPDT switch being positionable between an unswitched position and a switched position, and being configured to enable a user to provide either continuous power or switched power to the second receptacle outlet double pole LED outlet switch;
- thereby to enhance flexibility in selectively connecting an electrically powered device such as a lamp to either of the first and second receptacle outlets.
In combination, the invention comprising:
- a remote wall switch;
- a power outlet receptacle including a first and second receptacle outlets, the power outlet receptacle operatively connected to the remote wall switch;
- a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch selectively positionable between an unswitched position and a switched position, and operatively connected to at least one of the first and the second receptacle outlets, the DPDT switch being configured to enable a user to selectively provide either continuous power or switched power to said one of the first and second receptacle outlets, thereby to enhance flexibility in selectively connecting an electrically powered device to said at least one of the first and second receptacle outlets, so that the remote wall switch can be operated to turn off or on the electrically powered device.
