Hello - i am about to make my first x-10 purchase.  i have some wall switches that a several in a row up to 4.  they are covered by one wall plate.  they are all single pole switches like the ws467.  is i replace one or move of them with ws467 switches, will i need a new wall plate and if yes, where do i find one that can handle a mix of standard and x-10 switches?

Thank you,

Anthony

A WS467 will fit in a standard box with another switch.  I have two 467's in a dual wall box.

The WS467 are made to fit a standard toggle switch wall plate.

The WS467 is rated for an incandescent bulb 500W maximum, but with more than one WS467 in a switchbox you'll need to derate the switches to avoid excessive heat buildup in the box.  The total bulb wattage controlled by all the WS467 switches in the switchbox should not exceed 800W.
