 DIAMOND PLATE LIGHT SWITCH COVER SINGLE TOGGLE BRAND NEW WITH 2 SCREWS COOL US $4.99

The face plate on my living room wall light switch is always warm when the lights are on. Problem?
Should this be something to worry about or is it normal?
If the switch is a dimmer type, it will be warm to the touch. If it does not dim the light it controls you may need to replace it. First turn it off for a while and feel it after it has been off. It could just be loose duct from your heat warming the wall and escaping from the switch box. Good luck...

Georgian Roped Pattern Home Hardware – Buy Matching Hardware Online For Doors, Windows, Cabinets, Switch Plates & More
Creating a common theme for your home hardware is not as challenging as it may sound. The use of a common theme, such as a Georgian or Roped pattern and the same finish throughout the various rooms in your house can go a long way towards creating a unified look that will tie itself together nicely. Solid brass hardware offers a variety of finishes that can be used to complement your current décor. The traditional roped pattern (sometimes referred to as “Georgian Roped”) offers a simple and classic pattern that can be found on various types of home hardware.
When replacing the hardware in your home it is important to remember that detail matters. Doorknob sets are a great place to start because they are a focal point of your exterior and interior doors. A roped pattern doorknob set adds a little extra interest to these knobs (beautiful glass and solid brass doorknob sets are available in this pattern too). Switch plates are easily overlooked but can tie into the look of your house when coordinated with doorknob sets or cabinet and drawer hardware. There are many opportunities throughout any home to update older and worn hardware with new and elegant solid brass replacements. By using solid brass you are ensured added durability and strength over time. Available finishes include Polished Brass, Antique Brass (for a more “aged” effect), Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze.
Roped pattern hardware is produced today – allowing you to easily incorporate it into your kitchen, doors, windows and any other area of your home. By using a common pattern throughout the various rooms in your home, you can use different shapes as needed. The roped pattern is most commonly used as a border for circular or square hardware. Just follow a few simple steps when replacing older hardware. First, measure carefully if you are planning on using pre existing holes in cabinets or drawers – not all hardware is the same size (the center to center spacing for pulls is especially important if you do not want to re-drill the existing holes). Second, tie the look together by replacing the hardware inside and outside your home. The exterior of your home says a lot about what to expect inside and is often overlooked during remodeling or redecorating.
This roped pattern hardware is readily available in home decorating magazines and online. Search for solid brass construction and be sure to ask questions. Most solid brass hardware is available in several finishes and sizes. This hardware is available online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
