Light switches in your home - toggle or rocker style? (lighting, cost)

[Pink Jazz]

I decided to do a poll - are the light switches in your home the toggle style or the rocker style?

We have the rocker style. This seems to be the norm on many newer homes.

EDIT: For those who don't know the difference, here is a comparison:

Toggle-style:


Rocker-style:

Toggle, darn it. But this is a rental, so I'm not changing them out.

The slickest set-ups are the fancy "multi-scene lighting controllers" that fit into the "Decora-style" wall plates. Get awfully pricey awfully fast though..

toggle and rocker are the same thing.
that second pic is a style called "decora"

and why do you keep doing these insipid polls?

No, the rocker-style is the Decora style. Decora is a trademark by Leviton; other companies have come up with their own versions.

And the reason why I do these polls is because it is a free country.

We have toggle, but changing them out is on my to-do list.

Neither, ours are all dimmer switches, like this:



They have the slide, as well as an on/off switch.

I hate rocker switches. Just hate them. We have toggles and dimmers.

We have an older house that has toggles, we like them plus they are a lot cheaper than what rockers would cost to replace.
