General Electric White and Black Low Voltage Rocker Switches

Replacement white low voltage light switch with on and off buttons for the low voltage lighting systems common in homes built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. These unlighted devices are the updated versions of original GE RFS-6 and RFS-9 types of low voltage lighting switches.

For use with GE low voltage wiring systems only - does not fit similar-looking brands.

Old vs. New GE Switches for Older Homes Built in 1950's, 1960's, 1970's

Image eight shows a comparison of six series of 3-wire and 2-wire low voltage electrical wiring switch wall plates: Original Style for Bryant, GE and GE RSF series; Remcon; 2 wire Touch Plate MTF Frame; and 2-wire Touch-Plate 5000 series. Note difference in screw hole positioning. Only Touch-Plate 5000 series is still manufactured. See replacement options below for other low voltage systems.

• RS Series Momentary Switches: Manual override switches are momentary, single pole, double throw devices wired to the relay using standard Class 2 control wiring. The RS2 series switches are designed for installation in mounting straps, or in snap-in mounting in control panels or switch plates. Unlighted two button 3A 24 V.A.C. (3 amps 24 volt alternating current.)
• New Style Snap In: Device snaps into front of wall plate (not included) with a .76" x 1.278" opening as demonstated in the photo at left. Does not require mounting bracket. Purchase Snap In Low Voltage Switch Plates separately. We guarantee these devices fit into our switchplates in the link.
• Bracket Mount: Switch clips into a strap mounted behind wall plate (not included) with .756" x 1.187" openings as shown in the photos 6 and 7. Requires a mounting bracket (not shown). Purchase Low Voltage Bracket Mount Wall Switch Plates andLow Voltage Switch Bracket Mounting Brackets separately. We guarantee these devices fit into our "Bracket Mount" switchplates in the link.
• Model Update: This RS2 series switch is the current replacement switch in GE low voltage wiring systems for the discontinued RFS-6 and RFS-9 series switches and cover plates. Note that the size of this switch is slightly larger and deeper than original devices and therefore requires a switch plate with a slightly larger opening. These switches will fit into the GE RP2 series faceplates if used with brackets for mounting switches. A thin black bezel will show around the edges of the openings. If you have any questions, please get exact opening measurements first as many holes are very close in size.

We carry custom made low voltage wall plates that fit many different series of low voltage wiring system's electrical devices.
