How to Choose a Remote Light Switch for Wall?

Since wall light switch is closely related with human security, consumers should choose high security switches. There are many different kinds to choose from, and some might suit your project better than others. Here are some advice to help you make the right decision.

Switch panel

Size of switch panel should be consistent with that of connection box. Remember to bear in mind that choosing switch panel which has smooth surface, visible brand identity, anti-fake label and safety certification mark. Flame retardation and soundness of switch material is necessary. Generally speaking, height of switch should be 1200~1350 mm, the distance along the door frame 150 to 200 mm, and height of outlet 200 to 300 mm.

Switch security

Internal wire connection plays a great role in switch’s security. At present the most advanced connection mode is speed terminal connection structure. It is very simple; all you need to do is to insert the wire into the terminal. There is no exposure to the live parts, so no electric shock in construction.

There are also switches specially designed for the kitchen, which installs the water splash box or plastic baffle on the panel. It is effective to prevent oil, steam intrusion, short circuits caused by moisture, and keep long life.

Pay attention when you buy switches:

1. Appearance: pattern and color of switch should conform to the style of the room. For example, if the overall tone of room decoration is light colored, you should not choose black, brown or other dark switches.

2. Hand feel: switches at high quality are made of the advanced materials such as polycarbonate. They are characterized by high fire resistance, moisture resistance and anti-collision. Fine switch requires smooth surface, no bubbles, no scratches, and no stains.

3. Brand: to use switches of famous brands. The switch quality is the key for electrical appliances working normally. Switches from small manufacturers are very unreliable, which has short life span. But frequently change of switch is really troublesome. Most well-known brands make commitment to the consumers the switch “available for 15 years,” “guarantee working life of 12 years”, “continuous on/off 10,000 times”, etc.

4. Mark: pay attention to the mark on the switches, including safety certification, the rated current and voltage.

5. Packaging: there should be addresses and phone number

Remote Light Switch – More Convenience

When using traditional light switch, most of people would complain that they have to get up to turn off the light every time when they intend to go sleep. This can be a real pain, especially for the wheel chair users or people with limited mobility.

Now a new and improved remote light switch allows you to control your lights wirelessly. This kind of switch is more beneficial than the traditional light switch and is especially useful for people with impaired mobility and other problems. It acts much like a remote controlled lighting fixture; controlled by a radio or other signal and does not require an operator to touch the switch. You simply install the switch to an overhead light and when you flip the switch, a small charge is produced by a miniscule generator. This charge is what actually powers the small control and sends out the signal that is received by your light fixture and the light is turned on/off. The remote switch uses batteries with a low and safe voltage; avoiding the risk of electric shock if a user touches a switch with wet hands, and allows switching apparatus from a location without a wired switch.

One additional benefit of remote switch for families with children is if your kids have trouble falling asleep and need a light on to feel comfortable, you can reduce your electricity usage by turning the lights off after they are asleep. A remote control light switch will allow you to do that without getting out of bed yourself, and without disturbing the children and waking them up.

However, the wireless switches are actually not intended to completely replace traditional wall switches. Although it would be an excellent idea in many homes, it still has some problems. The transmitter and receiver use a low-strength radio signal to communicate. Most devices are designed for use within a range of 100 feet. Metal barriers will distort radio waves and reduce this effective distance. In some models, if the signal weakens over time or stops working, you must change the batteries.

As a result, when you decide to use remote light switch, you should take these problems into consideration in addition to its benefits.
