I have an Intermatic HomeSettings dimmable wall switch for the ceiling lights, and it looks like this:

On the intermatic website, they have the exact same picture for both the dimmable (HA14) and non-dimmalble (HA18) models.  When I look for the non-dimmable one on Amazon, I get this, which looks different:

So what does the HA18 really look like?  I want to get ones that all look the same.

oh... I just realized that the reason the override switch is not visible on the amazon switch is only because it is covered up by the faceplate...

wow, I feel stupid!

AlwaysMC2,

The HomeSettings dimmer switches have the air gap on the bottom.  The relay switches don't have one of course--and their paddles extend all the way down as shown in the photo.

So the HA18 looks different than the HA14?  The HA14 has an override switch, so does the HA18 not?  They are shown to look the same on the Intermatic website...

Also, what does the "C" mean that is sometimes added to the end? 

Yes, they look a little bit different--although they're the same style.  When you put them next to each other, they look like siblings.  The photo for the relay switch on the Intermatic website is just a glitch.

The "C" at the end, as I understand it, means that it comes in a plastic clamshell.  You can also get some of the items in cardboard boxes which are not designed for retail.

OK. I just didn't want to get a different-looking model, when one was available that looked exactly the same.  I think I'll order the switch now. :-)
