Q & A
How far is the toggle switch to the bottom of the Kidswitch moon?
It is about 11.5". Because toggle switches are not set at a standard height, you will need to measure the distance from your toggle switch to determine if your child can reach it.
How large is the opening for the toggle switch?
The opening is 11/32" wide by 13/32" tall with a snug fit on regular toggles.
Will it fit a Lutron Toggle Dimmer that has a preset lever on the side?
Because the Lutron dimmer toggle is slightly narrower, the Kidswitch handle will fit over the toggle, however it moves the preset lever on the side up and down within the middle range as the handle is pushed. Because only the toggle itself turns the lights on and off, the lighting level will always be at a midrange dimmed setting with the Lutron devices.
Will it fit a Leviton Toggle Dimmer that adjusts lighting by moving the toggle up and down to the desired level?
Yes. Leviton's toggle dimmers are narrower than a standard toggle switch so the Kidswitch handle will easily fit over it. And because you adjust the lighting level by pushing it up and down, you will be able to change your lighting level.
