This handy device is half receptacle and half switch. It’s a quick way to add a receptacle to a room (after you’ve calculated the amperage of the new load—remember not to overload your circuits). The receptacle will be at switch height, which typically is four feet from the floor to the top of the receptacle box. The switch and the receptacle can operate independently of each other, or the receptacle can be controlled by the switch, perhaps for a hanging ceiling lamp not directly wired to a circuit that came with a lamp cord and plug.
