For example, people from USA say two-way light switch actually is called one-way light switch in UK. And if they don’t know the reason, they will get into a fight. Table below is to distinguish the difference between them. (Pole means separate circuit which are controlled by a switch. Throws means separate position that the switch can adopt.)

This charge is what actually powers the small control and sends out the signal that is received by your light fixture and the light is turned on/off. The remote switch uses batteries with a low and safe voltage; avoiding t...
