Bryant 4-Series 20A 277V Lighted AC Switch

The Bryant 4-Series 20A 277V Lighted AC Switch is engineered for dependable control of AC lighting and general-purpose circuits in commercial and industrial settings, offered across two 4-Series models — 4801GLI and 4901GLI — to match project requirements. Rated 20A at 277V, a voltage commonly found on commercial and industrial lighting branch circuits, these switches are built to handle demanding day-to-day switching duty. Each device features an illuminated handle that stays lit so the switch is easy to locate in low-light stairwells, storage areas, mechanical rooms, and corridors. As part of Bryant's coordinated 4-Series platform, these lighted AC switches deliver consistent, code-compliant switching performance, making them a practical choice for electricians and facility managers standardizing on a single switch line.

Key Features

  • Amperage Rating: A 20A rating supports reliable, long-term control of connected lighting fixtures and general-purpose electrical loads.
  • Voltage Rating: Rated 277V AC, suited to the commercial and industrial-grade electrical systems where this voltage is standard.
  • Lighted Handle: The illuminated switch handle glows for improved visibility and faster locatability in dim or dark areas, reducing search time for occupants and maintenance staff.
  • AC Switch Design: Purpose-built as an AC switch for dependable, everyday circuit control rather than specialty switching duty.
  • 4-Series Platform: Part of Bryant's 4-Series switch line, offering consistent form, fit, and function so it can be matched with other 4-Series devices used on the same project.
  • Model Options: Available as model 4801GLI or 4901GLI within the 4-Series lighted AC switch lineup, giving electrical contractors flexibility to select the model that best fits the application.

Bryant 4801GLI – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Bryant 4801GLI and 4901GLI lighted switches?
They are the two ordering choices in Bryant's 4-Series lighted AC switch line, and the amperage rating is what separates them: order the 4801GLI for the 15A device and the 4901GLI for the 20A device. Everything else about the pair is shared, including the 277V AC rating, the 1-pole configuration, and the illuminated handle. If you are matching a 20A branch circuit, the 4901GLI is the one to specify.
2) Can I use the Bryant 4-Series lighted switch on a 277V lighting circuit?
Yes. The 4-Series lighted AC switches are rated 277V AC, which is the voltage on most commercial and industrial lighting branch circuits fed from a 480/277V system. That is what makes them suitable for office, retail, and institutional lighting control rather than a 120V-only residential switch.
3) Will a 15A lighted switch work on a 20A lighting branch circuit?
Match the device to the circuit. On a 20A branch circuit you want the 20A device, which is the Bryant 4901GLI; the 4801GLI is the 15A rating and belongs on a 15A circuit. Both are 1-pole 277V lighted AC switches otherwise, so it is only the amp rating you are choosing between.
4) What is a comparable 277V switch to the Bryant 4801GLI lighted AC switch?
The Bryant 4801GLI is a 1-pole 4-Series AC switch rated 277V with an illuminated handle. If a 277V-capable device is needed in a decorator paddle style instead of a toggle handle, the Pass & Seymour 2623W is a specification grade 3-way decorator paddle switch rated 20A at 120V/277V in white. The Bryant is a single-pole device with a lit handle; the 2623W is a 3-way paddle without illumination, so confirm whether the opening is switched from one location or two before substituting.
5) If I do not need the lighted handle, what toggle switch can I use instead of the Bryant 4901GLI?
The Bryant 4901GLI is a 4-Series lighted AC switch with an illuminated handle for locating the device in dim stairwells and mechanical rooms. Where that visibility is not required, the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W is a commercial specification grade toggle switch in white, and the CS15AC3I is the same commercial specification grade switch in ivory. Both keep the familiar toggle handle profile; neither is illuminated, so they will not be visible in a dark corridor the way the Bryant is.
6) Can I use a Pass & Seymour TradeMaster switch in place of the Bryant 4801GLI on a 277V lighting circuit?
No. The Pass & Seymour TM TradeMaster is a 15A decorator switch, and the Bryant 4801GLI is rated 277V for commercial and industrial lighting branch circuits. If the branch circuit is 277V, use a device rated for it - either the Bryant 4-Series lighted AC switch or the Pass & Seymour 2623W, which is rated 20A at 120V/277V. Reserve the TradeMaster for the applications its own rating covers.
7) For a three-way stairwell application, what should I use instead of the Bryant 4-Series lighted AC switch?
The Bryant 4801GLI and 4901GLI are 1-pole devices, so they switch a load from a single location. Where the same lights are controlled from two points - top and bottom of a stairwell, for example - the Pass & Seymour 2623W is a specification grade 3-way decorator paddle switch rated 20A at 120V/277V. It holds the 277V capability but not the lit handle, so one common approach is the Bryant where a glowing locator matters most and 3-way devices where two-point control is required.
8) Does the handle stay lit all the time, and where is that useful?
The illuminated handle on the 4-Series lighted AC switch stays lit so the device can be found in the dark. Electricians and facility crews use them in stairwells, storage rooms, mechanical rooms, and corridors where there is no ambient light with the fixtures off, so occupants are not feeling along the wall for the switch.
9) I need a lighted switch for a 120V circuit, not 277V. Is this the right one?
No. The Bryant 4-Series lighted AC switches here are rated 277V, so specify a device rated for your system voltage instead. Among commercial grade toggle options, the Pass and Seymour CS15AC3W (white) and CS15AC3I (ivory) are commercial specification grade switches, and the Pass and Seymour 2623W decorator paddle is rated 20A at both 120V and 277V.
10) Is the Bussmann TPHCS-250 switch an alternative to the Bryant 4901GLI lighted AC switch?
No - they do different jobs. The Bryant 4901GLI is a 4-Series wall-box AC switch for controlling 277V lighting and general-purpose circuits, with an illuminated handle. The Bussmann TPHCS-250 is a TPH Series high-current switch rated 80 Vdc with a 100kA SCCR, a DC power-circuit device rather than a lighting control switch. Specify the Bryant for AC lighting branch circuits and the Bussmann only where a DC high-current disconnect is called for.
11) I need to match ivory devices already in the building - is there an alternative to the Bryant 4-Series lighted AC switch?
The Bryant 4801GLI and 4901GLI are 4-Series single-pole AC switches with an illuminated handle. For an ivory-colored device, the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3I is a commercial specification grade switch supplied in ivory, and the CS15AC3W is the white version of that same commercial specification grade toggle. Those are unlit devices, so if occupants rely on a glowing handle to find the switch, the Bryant is the one that provides it.
12) Can I standardize a whole building on Bryant 4-Series switches?
That is the point of the 4-Series platform. Bryant builds the line to consistent form, fit, and function so the lighted AC switches sit alongside other 4-Series devices on the same project, which keeps one switch line in the attic stock and one set of trim on the walls. Facility teams doing phased renovations get a like-for-like replacement device years later instead of a mixed wall of brands.
