Leviton 5243-W Duplex 3-Way AC Combination Switch, 15A, 120/277V, White

Overview

The Leviton 5243-W is a compact, two-switch-in-one device designed to streamline control in both homes and commercial spaces. Its clean white finish and slim profile fit seamlessly into a single-gang wall, freeing panel space while delivering reliable performance. The switch pair supports two control points in a single device, making it suitable for multi-location lighting setups without adding clutter.

Crafted for durability, the body uses impact-resistant thermoplastic nylon that resists daily wear, so it stays looking and performing well in busy environments. The tactile toggle action provides confident feedback with every use, a small but meaningful detail for frequent operators in hallways, entryways, or conference rooms.
