    Is anyone able to explain to me the difference between these connectors because after reading the Internet knowledge, I still do not fully understand why they are divided into two things that really fulfill the same role?

    They differ in the function they fulfill by interrupting the power supply to lighting receivers.

    The candlestick switches only 1 wire to the lamp and the double wire switches 2 each separately.

    The candlestick is double, while it is bipolar, which has one key and connects two poles, i.e. the double one is activated simultaneously.

    Candlestick switch - It has at least functional keys to light points of light, it can control separate circuits, eg. In the living room we have 4 lighting fixtures, with one button we can turn on two of them and the other with the other.
    Double switch - otherwise known as a two-pole switch, it has one button that turns on the lighting, you can connect several lighting points to it, but we can no longer control them as in the case of a candlestick.

Topic summary

The discussion clarifies the differences between double switches and candlestick switches, both of which serve to control lighting circuits. A candlestick switch typically has multiple functional keys, allowing control of separate lighting circuits, such as turning on different fixtures independently. In contrast, a double switch, also known as a two-pole switch, operates with a single button that can control multiple lighting points simultaneously but does not allow for independent control of each point. The candlestick switch is described as being able to manage two circuits separately, while the double switch connects multiple fixtures without individual control.
