Abstract:
According to the present disclosure, a switching system for a fixture includes a first switch unit with a first switch actuator and a first power cord with an integrally formed power connector at its distal end. The first switch unit has an electrical receptacle configured to receive a corresponding power connector of a cord electrically connected to the fixture. The electrical receptacle is electrically coupled to the first power cord through the first switch actuator to provide switching actuation to the fixture. The switching system may include a second switch unit that includes a second switch actuator and a second power cord with an integrally formed power connector at its distal end. The first and second switch units are connectable to provide a three-way switching electrical connection.
