Prevents accidental changes
These fit well and did provide protection against accidental change in the light switch. At the same time it is quite simple to change the light switch as it is open on the side.

For dummies like me.
Works great in my smart home with dump people inside that is always turning of my smart lights when they could just Clap or ask Alexa.

I like these
Simple screw on design. Remove 1, reinsert partially, swing cover up reinsert screw2, tighten. Or you could take both out and play fumble thumbs dropping screws and covers all over. Took me under a minute. Clear plastic looks like it belongs. Not clear from online ad but 1 side is molded plastic with no opening. You stick you finger thru other side. This is great as it adds structural integrity to cover and discourages learned behavior auto switch on - face the solid side toward direction you normally switch on from. . Also makes you think ' do I really want to switch this on?'. Enclosed side also pefect for label.

Easy to install, and sturdy, but one flaw
I'd give this 5-stars if they were completely enclosed, but one side of them is open, allowing anyone to still operate the switch. But it does work as a reminder not to flip the switch, and keeps it from being accidentally turned off. Great for circuits where you've got smart bulbs installed in the fixtures so that they don't get switched off unintentionally, but won't keep someone from intentionally turning them off.

Simple, Effective Light Switch Guards That Do Exactly What They’re Supposed To
These Bates toggle light switch guard covers are one of those small, inexpensive items that solve a very real everyday problem. If you’re tired of lights being accidentally turned on or off, whether by kids, pets, or just brushing past a switch, this 12-pack is a practical and well-executed solution. The design is straightforward and smart. The clear plastic cover fits neatly over standard toggle switches and blocks accidental contact without making the switch hard to use when you actually want to flip it. You still have full control of the switch, but random bumps, curious hands, or playful pets won’t change the position unintentionally. It does exactly what a guard should do without overcomplicating things. Installation is quick and easy. You don’t need any special tools or electrical knowledge. The covers install using the existing switch plate screws, so it’s a simple remove-and-replace process that takes just a minute per switch. Once installed, they sit securely and don’t feel loose or flimsy. Build quality is better than expected for such a simple product. The plastic is clear, sturdy, and thick enough that it doesn’t flex or crack easily. The clear design is also a nice touch because it blends in visually and doesn’t draw attention or clash with wall colors or decor. After installation, they look clean and unobtrusive. These are especially useful in homes with children, rental properties, shared spaces, or anywhere certain lights need to stay in a specific position. They’re great for blocking switches connected to outdoor lights, smart bulbs, appliances, or rooms where lights are frequently bumped off by accident. Having 12 in a pack is excellent value. You can cover multiple switches throughout the house instead of just one or two problem areas, and still have extras left over if needed. It’s nice not having to buy multiple packs to finish the job. Overall, these Bates light switch guard covers are simple, effective, and well made. They install easily, work as intended, and provide a clean, child-proof solution to accidental switch flipping. If you need an inexpensive way to control switch access and prevent frustration, this is an easy five-star recommendation.

Good quality.
Easy to install, the existing screws are long enough to put these on. Clever idea to remind people not to turn off certain lights (outdoor spots).

Serves Its’ Purpose Well!
I gave them five stars because they actually serve the purpose of what I needed them for. So I don’t hit the wrong switch when I’m walking into a dark room or quickly walking past the switch plate. They actually aren’t child proof because their tiny fingers can reach through the sides of them. They are easy to install. And you can use the covered switch when necessary without removing any part of it.

Well made, and I really like that one side is opened. I used these with motion senor lights. So the fact that it stops people from turning on and off the lights is great. And when I go to bed for the night, I can turn the switch off easily from the opened side so that I' m not waking up every time someone walks around. I recommend placing the opening towards the left, that way it's harder for it to be accidently turned off.

Delivered in two days, pack of 6 switch covers. Easy to install over existing wall plates providing simple protection, but still allowing access through one side of the cover. I'm using to cover switches that need to remain turned on for dusk to dawn exterior security lights.

Perfect for preventing use of switches that shouldn’t be turned on. Elderly parents that have forgetful tendencies can be reminded not to use switches but they can still be accessed when needed. Also good for spaces where they may accidentally be turned on
