The vector stencil library "RCP-Electrical switches" contains 35 light switch symbols.
Use it to design your reflected ceiling plan with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software.
"In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can "make" or "break" an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another. The mechanism of a switch removes or restores the conducting path in a circuit when it is operated. It may be operated manually, for example, a light switch or a keyboard button, may be operated by a moving object such as a door, or may be operated by some sensing element for pressure, temperature or flow. A switch will have one or more sets of contacts, which may operate simultaneously, sequentially, or alternately." [Switch. Wikipedia]
"In electrical wiring, a light switch is a switch most commonly used to operate electric lights, permanently connected equipment, or electrical outlets. Portable lamps such as table lamps may have a light switch mounted on the socket, base, or in-line with the cord. Manually operated on/ off switches may be substituted by dimmer switches that allow controlling the brightness of lamps as well as turning them on or off, time-controlled switches, occupancy-sensing switches, and remotely controlled switches and dimmers." [Light switch. Wikipedia]
The light switch symbols example "Design Elements - RCP-Electrical switches" is included in Reflected Ceiling Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

How To use Electrical and Telecom Plan Software

When drawing Electrical and Telecom plans, you need to depict electrical circuit, schematics of electrical wiring and digital circuits, house electrical plans, etc. Electrical plan shows all electrical devices and their location, and scheme of telecom and electric wiring clearly and concisely enough. Start easy with Electric and Telecom Plans solution templates and samples which are opened from ConceptDraw STORE right with standard electrical and telecom symbols and icons libraries. Or create your own Electrical Telecom diagrams on the blank sheet also using the predesigned libraries' objects separately or combining, joining, or grouping them. Try now to make sure how neat and easy could be drawing various electrical and telecom plans with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM , among them: Home electrical plan, Telecom wireless plan, Residential electric plan, Electrical circuit diagram, and other Electric visual and telecommunication floor plans for design and construction, including switches, outlets, and fixtures.

Interior Design. Registers, Drills and Diffusers — Design Elements

The interior design project for any home, flat, business center includes the set of different plans and documents, among them obligatory are the ceiling plans. For creation these plans will be convenient to use professional drawing software. It is especially useful in cases when you need create and propose for customer the multiple alternative design plans for choice. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Reflected Ceiling Plan solution is the choice of architects, designers, electricians, and other building-related people. It is ideal for displaying the ceiling design ideas which meet any requirements of building and budget. Included templates, samples and especially wide selection of vector design elements, including the elements offered by Registers, Drills and Diffusers library are helpful in drawing without efforts professional-looking Reflected Ceiling plans, Reflective Ceiling plans, Lighting Plans, Electrical Plans, Plans of location the outlets, grilles, diffusers, registers, light fixtures, light panels, etc.

Electrical Symbols — Resistors

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors may be used to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, may act to lower voltage levels within circuits. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to limit current flow, to adjust signal levels, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines among other uses. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical activity. 26 libraries of the Electrical Engineering Solution of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM make your electrical diagramming simple, efficient, and effective. You can simply and quickly drop the ready-to-use objects from libraries into your document to create the electrical diagram.
