Sticker In Panel

[Garet]

Found this on the deadfront of yesterday's panel. It's probably about 5-10 years old. Anyone know what it's referring to?

I would guess a security sensor light.

Yeah, they shouldn't be using the breaker as if it is a light switch. Not that they are, but the label on the panel cover might give the new owners a wrong impression.

I don't know if it is a harmful practice to flip the breaker that much, but I know it's not designed for that, where a light switch is and is also cheap to replace.

The label should be on the light switch, and if it was, you wouldn't be wondering what it was for, either. []

The breaker most likely is rated for that, and will be marked SWD.
