What is the knob on a lamp called?
1 Answer
The knob on a lamp is generally called a switch. One of the most popular types of switches is the rotary switch, which you rotate to turn a lamp on and off. Three-way rotary switches have a third position, making it possible to set the illumination high or low to suit your needs. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of lamps.
