Sierra Electric Low Voltage Switches & Cover Plates
Sierra brand low voltage light switches, switchplates and relays originally became popular amongst mid-century homes built between 1940 and 1980 and has since, for the most part, been discontinued. However, Sierra low volt switches are still manufactured under the Pass & Seymour (Legrand) name and will work with Despard style interchangeable switch plates and mounting straps. Kyle Design is a regular supplier and retailer of these traditional Despard wall plates and matching metal brackets as well as genuine Sierra devices for a one-stop shopping source for all your low voltage needs.
