Commercial-grade toggle switch
The Hubbell HBL1221PL is a single-pole wall switch rated for 20 A at 120/277V AC. It suits commercial and industrial lighting circuits where a pilot light confirms the load status from a distance. The red finish provides quick visual identification in panels or corridors.
Shatter-resistant body with back-and-side wiring
The thermoplastic housing resists cracking and impact in high-traffic areas. Terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 14 AWG to 10 AWG using either back-wire or side-wire entry. Mounting holes are spaced 3.3 in centre-to-centre for standard wall boxes. The toggle action is maintained and UL listed.
Replaces non-illuminated toggles on always
Installers choose this model when a visible pilot light removes the need to check the fixture itself. The upgrade is worthwhile on circuits where verification at the switch saves maintenance time. It does not serve dimming, multi-location or low-voltage control needs.

Questions about this item
What voltage does the 120/277V AC rating actually support on this switch?
The switch operates at either 120 V AC or 277 V AC single-phase, handling up to 20 A on lighting or resistive loads at both voltages.
Will the 3.3-inch mount centres fit a standard US wall box?
Yes — 3.3 in centre-to-centre matches the standard US switch box, so it mounts directly without an adapter plate.
How do I wire the back/side terminals without stripping too much insulation?
Strip each conductor to the gauge-marked length on the device, insert fully into the back-wire holes or wrap clockwise under the side screws, then torque to the listed value.
