4-way illuminated toggle?

I apologize if this shows up twice. I posted it before, but now I can't find it so maybe it never went through.

I have a light switch that is controlled from three locations. One of the switches is a four-way switch, and two of the switches are three way switches. I'm trying to replace the four way light switch with an illuminated four way light switch, that is toggle style, and not a decora.

I can't find it anywhere! Does this not exist?

Thanks!

I couldn't find one either, looks like you will have to settle for the Decora

I checked..... this is your only thread posted on this subject.

I had never seen an illuminated four way switch before so I checked and didn't find any toggles either.

I did some checking as well with the same result. Looks like you are SOL as far as a standard toggle with a lighted handle. Bummer.

Now you MIGHT be able to find a wall plate that has LED edge lighting that will work in your situation. I know they make the plates but I don't know if they will work with a four-way switch.

Exterior sump pump wiring

C

CarbideTipped on Feb 04, 2016

Time to tap the brain trust here: I have an exterior sump pump pit for the two sump pumps (plus backup) that handle my foundation drains (no sewer and daylight is 10 feet up). It's 24" in diameter and over 10' deep. Since the cords on the pumps don't even reach to the top of the sump, I remove the plug on the end of the cord, extend it a couple feet with SJOOW cable, and install watertight plugs that plug into mating watertight cord mounted receptacles. All of this is inside the sump. From there, SJOOW cable runs through PVC conduit from the sump to the inside of my basement. On the ends are standard AC Plugs that plug into alarmed GFCI outlets. That's the part I'm unsure about. Essentially have heavy duty extension cords running from the inside to the outside. They are only 6' long, tops. I'm about to pull a permit for some other electrical work right next to this stuff, and I don't want to get any grief from the inspector if the above arrangement isn't OK, code-wise.Read More

Difficult cable pull thru conduit

F

FuriousGeorge on Feb 05, 2016

I have to pull multiple cat6 cables thru a 200ft underground conduit and then in the worst case up 5 floors. The conduit is four inches, but, due to the length of the run and presumably the hard 90s it makes, even 6 cables cannot be pulled at the same time. It's beginning to become apparent that another conduit needs to be run, but I still haven't use this conduit to some extent. I have cable lubricant, I'm buying a second and third box of pull string to run multiple fishing lines. Are there anything else I can do? I've also tried taping the first 50 feet or so to keep it thinner and reduce friction, but that appears to have been counterproductive. Any help is much appreciated. Presently, I've pulled out 6 cables after almost 300 feet when it just stopped moving, and I'm down to trying 2 at a time.Read More
