Leviton 3-Way Extra Heavy-Duty Industrial Grade Toggle Switch with Pilot Light, 20-Amp 120-Volt

The Leviton 3-Way Toggle Switch is an extra heavy-duty, industrial/specification grade device rated 20-Amp, 120-Volt, purpose-built for demanding commercial and industrial electrical systems. Its 3-way configuration allows a single lighting fixture or receptacle circuit to be controlled from two separate switch locations, a common requirement in hallways, stairwells, warehouses, and multi-entry commercial spaces. An integrated pilot light gives installers and facility staff instant visual confirmation of circuit status, reducing troubleshooting time and improving safety on the job site. Engineered to specification-grade standards, this switch is designed to hold up under frequent operation and high-traffic professional use.

Key Features

  • 3-Way Configuration: Enables control of a single lighting fixture or receptacle from two independent switch locations, ideal for multi-access commercial and industrial spaces.
  • 20-Amp, 120-Volt Rating: Rated for 20-Amp, 120-Volt circuits, giving it the capacity to handle demanding commercial and industrial electrical loads.
  • Integrated Pilot Light: Built-in pilot light illuminates to provide clear, at-a-glance confirmation of circuit on/off status, supporting faster troubleshooting and safer operation.
  • Extra Heavy-Duty Construction: Industrial-grade internal components are built to withstand high-cycle switching and sustained heavy use in professional environments.
  • Industrial/Specification Grade: Manufactured to meet rigorous specification-grade performance standards expected on commercial and industrial installations.

Leviton 1223-PLR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Leviton 1223-PLR toggle switch be used to control one light from two locations?
That's exactly what it's built for. The 1223-PLR is a 3-way switch, so it works in pairs: two of them wired to the same lighting fixture or receptacle circuit let you switch that circuit from two separate locations. Typical uses are hallway ends, stairwell top and bottom, and rooms with more than one entry door. If you need control from three or more points, the two 3-ways have to be joined by 4-way switches in between.
2) Is a 20A 120V switch the right pick for a 15-amp lighting circuit?
Yes. The 1223-PLR is rated 20A at 120V, and a device rated above the circuit's ampacity is fine to install on a 15-amp branch circuit. You cannot go the other way and put a 15A switch on a 20A circuit. Note the voltage rating here is 120V, so this is not the device for 277V commercial lighting.
3) Does the Leviton 1223-PLR pilot light switch need a neutral in the box?
A pilot light switch has to be powered to glow, so plan on a neutral conductor being available at the device box in addition to the 3-way travelers and the common. If your existing switch box was wired as a plain 3-way with no neutral pulled, you'll need to get one to that location before this device will function as intended.
4) What does the pilot light on the Leviton 1223-PLR actually indicate, and what color is it?
The pilot light is red and illuminates to show circuit on/off status at a glance. It's there so facility staff can tell whether a load is energized without walking to the fixture, which is the usual reason it goes on attic lights, exterior lights, exhaust fans, or anything out of sight of the switch location.
5) What is the difference between a specification grade switch like this Leviton and a residential grade toggle?
Grade is the dividing line. The 1223-PLR is an industrial/specification grade, extra heavy-duty device built for high-cycle switching in commercial and industrial service, where a residential grade switch is built to a lower duty expectation and a 15A rating. For a warehouse, school corridor, or multi-family common area that gets thrown dozens of times a day, spec grade is what the drawings normally call out.
6) Do I need to buy a wall plate separately for this Leviton toggle switch?
Yes. The 1223-PLR is a toggle-actuator device only, so you'll order a standard toggle-opening wall plate to suit the gang count at that location. Two-location 3-way jobs need a plate at each end, and if the switch shares a box with other devices you'll want a multi-gang plate with the matching openings.
7) Can I use two of these pilot-light 3-way switches at both ends of the circuit?
You can, but most installations only need the pilot at one end, typically the location furthest from the load. A standard 20A spec-grade 3-way toggle works as the mate at the other end. Both devices have to be 3-way; pairing a 3-way with a single-pole switch will not give you two-location control.
8) Is there a spec sheet available for the Leviton 1223-PLR switch?
Leviton publishes technical information for the 1223-PLR, and ZenSupply carries that PDF with the product record at https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/leviton/technical-information-19bffd.pdf. That's the document to attach when an engineer or inspector asks for submittal data on the device.
