Choosing the Right Wired Push Button or Wireless Doorbell Button​

Wired push buttons - these typically connect to the doorbell transformer.   With battery powered wired doorbells you would connect the button directly to the chime.  Do not use lighted buttons with battery powered chimes.  For lighted buttons, use a wired transformer.

Other models have a metallic finish in the middle button (rather than white) and feature a LED halo that surrounds the center button.
