Combination switch and outlet is an electrical device that combines a light switch and an electrical outlet into a single unit. They are commonly used in homes and businesses to provide convenient access to both power and lighting in a single location. Combination switch and outlet devices are typically installed in a standard electrical box and are available in various configurations, including single-pole, double-pole, and three-way, to accommodate different wiring needs.
Combination switch and outlet devices offer several advantages over separate switches and outlets. They save space, as only one device is needed to provide both functions. They also simplify wiring, as only one electrical box is needed for both the switch and the outlet. Additionally, combination switch and outlet devices can improve the overall aesthetic of a room, as they provide a clean and streamlined look.
