Question 3

Can I re-apply a SwitchID after I previously removed it?

Accepted Answer

No. We strongly recommend against re-applying the SwitchID. The adhesive is not designed for multiple uses.

Question 4

What is the best way to select the right color SwitchIDs?

Accepted Answer

Glow-In-The-Dark is a very distinct color and is not meant to match an existing switch plate. Please note that every switch plate manufacturer's version of almond and ivory might differ slightly. Generally speaking, ivory has a slight tint of yellow, while almond has more of a grey-tan-bone color. 
 
We used "Pass & Seymore" and "Leviton" switch plate examples and worked with our manufacturer using Spectrum Analysis to match the SwitchID colors to those plates.

Question 7

What is the size of the SwitchIDs?

Accepted Answer

SwitchIDs are 0.86' x 0.86', or 2.2 cm x 2.2 cm for our international friends.

Question 8

Can there be a blank SwitchID where I can draw on it myself?

Accepted Answer

We did some testing and nothing sticks to the clear doming material, not even sharpies. So, because the ink would eventually rub off on you, we decided against adding a blank SwitchID.

Question 9

What happens if the SwitchIDs are exposed to heat or cold?

Accepted Answer

SwitchIDs should not be exposed to temperatures outside of - 40° F (- 40°C) to 140° F (60° C). Outside of this range the adhesive will not work well. Exposure to extreme humidity will also negatively affect the adhesive. In both cases, the adhesive will work well again after the temperature / humidity returns to recommended levels. 
Minimum application temperature is 50° F (10° C).

Question 10

Can I use SwitchIDs outside?

Accepted Answer

SwitchIDs are UV resistant, but depending on where you live, temperature or humidity might affect the performance of the SwitchIDs. Please see above.

Question 11

Where are SwitchIDs produced?

Accepted Answer

SwitchIDs are produced in the greater Milwaukee, WI area by a world-class producer of label products. SwitchIDs are truly a high-quality product enhancement to your home.
