Where can you buy an on-off rocker switch?

Individuals can buy an on-off rocker switch at Home Depot as of August 2015. Rocker switches of different sizes, styles and electrical strengths are available. A basic rocker switch costs less than $3.

A rocker switch contains a component that rocks back and forth to open and close an electrical circuit. These switches have a variety of applications. Many lighting fixtures, surge protectors and appliances have rocker switches.

Rocker switches do not protrude, so the chance of accidentally activating them is low. Unlike toggle switches, these switches are easy for people with weak fine motor skills to operate, as individuals don't need to grasp a switch with their fingers to manipulate a toggle.
