Hi everyone i have recently purchased a home that uses a circa 1970 s ge low voltage lighting control system. The new style ge rs2 switches are the currently manufactured replacement switches for both a bryant and ge low voltage system. It consists of 24v power being run from a transformer at the electrical panel to various wall switches which are momentary on off switches that in turn switch a relay installed up at the light fixture. The wiring from the switches and devices are low voltage typically 24 to 30v so no need for heavier cabling and conduits etc ge introduced its low voltage remote control relay system in the 1950s as an alternative to conventional line voltage switch wiring mainly for lighting.

Low voltage electrical wiring was installed in some homes beginning in about 1946 s. They were being sold on ebay but now they re only at switch hits.
