Recognize Modern Switch Types (Lever-Edge)

What happens here

Beyond traditional screw-terminal switches, modern electrical installations may feature 'Lever Edge Outlet' or similar push-in/lever-style connection switches. These switches offer a different, often quicker, method for connecting wires. While the physical connection mechanism differs, the underlying principles of common, traveler, and ground connections remain the same as with traditional screw-terminal 3-way switches. It's important to recognize these newer types of switches and understand that their internal functionality for 3-way operation is consistent.

Goal: Be aware of modern 3-way switches with alternative wiring connections
