The Stanley 24861 Lighted Push Button is a wired doorbell switch designed for standard low-voltage chime systems. Featuring an illuminated center button for improved visibility at night, it functions as a momentary, normally-open contact to trigger a compatible door chime. It serves as a practical replacement part or upgrade for most wired doorbell installations in residential entryways, offering a familiar form factor and straightforward operation. The lighted design helps guests locate the doorbell in low light, while the simple two-conductor hookup supports a wide range of transformer-powered wired chimes.
Installation typically involves connecting the two low-voltage leads from the door chime circuit and securing the button near the doorway. The 24861 is intended for use with wired, transformer-powered chimes and is not compatible with wireless or battery-only chime kits. When replacing a non-lighted button, verify that the existing chime supports illuminated push buttons to ensure proper operation. This Stanley lighted push button is suited for everyday residential use as a universal wired doorbell switch and is commonly used as a direct replacement component for aging or non-functional doorbell buttons.
