The electrical receptacle is electrically coupled to the first power cord through the first switch actuator to provide switching actuation to the fixture. The switching system may include a second switch unit that includes a second switch actuator and a second power cord with an integrally formed power connector at its distal end. The first and second switch units are connectable to provide a three-way switching electrical connection.
