Touch switch light

Modern household appliances are often equipped with touch controls, for example, it can be found in cell phones, washing machines and other devices. Gradually, this technology got to a simple light switch. What is a touch switch, what are its advantages over a traditional analog?

Touch switch - appearance and device

Switches of light of a sensory type do not differ from other variants of sensory control. This is a flat surface with marked markings on it. This switch is able to regulate the switching on and off of electrical appliances, lighting in the room and change its level. Thanks to the appearance, the touch switches easily fit into any interior. You can choose those that will become part of a well thought out design.

Installing the sensor switch

Its installation is no different from the installation of a conventional, traditional switch. Beforehand, turn off the light. Then you need to remove the key, for which you need to press it off the frame. As with a conventional circuit breaker, the phase conductor from the terminal box is connected to the "Phase" terminal, and the neutral wire to the "Zero" terminal. The regulator is inserted into the back box. Then it is necessary to fix it with pawls-spacers, and tighten the screws. In the end, you have to click the button.

Regulation of lighting with a touch switch

In use, the touch switch is simple and convenient. To turn on or off the lighting, just touch the panel lightly, or you can use the remote control. The panel itself is made of crystal glass. Switches are installed in a special box of a round shape, which is placed in a concrete, gypsum or brick wall instead of a traditional switch. They can be connected to absolutely all types of lamps: daylight, halogen, energy-saving. The switch can be connected, for example, with a night lamp, another lamp.

The variety of models and developments of sensor switches makes it easy to operate and repair them. When compared with a conventional switch, the touch control light is more economical. For example, a switch of the Elegance-EU series at a maximum load of two thousand watts consumes less than 0.1 watts. Switches of the sensor type extend the lamp life of the lamp. Saving electricity can reach seventy five percent.

Such advantages of the switch result from its function smoothly changing the power and brightness of the lighting in the room. Adjustment is carried out both from the remote control, and from touching the switch itself. When you press the button on the remote control and hold it for a few seconds, the LED indicator emits four short flashes and one longer one. After the remote control button is lowered, the touch switch remembers the installed power load. When the button is pressed again, the control mode is activated. The lamp thus smoothly changes the brightness of the glow from the minimum to the maximum value. After the brightness is set, you need to release the remote control button, after three and a half seconds, a short flash of the indicator will appear. This indicates a transition from regulation to normal.

For shutdown, proceed similarly. It is necessary to press the remote control button and hold it for several seconds. After four short and one long flashes of the indicator, lower the button and the lamp will go out. The touch switch itself works by touching. And all is identical to control from the console. When the switch is touched for a long time, it switches to the brightness control mode. After the button is released, the device remembers the set value of the lighting power.

In addition to the previously described advantages - energy saving, aesthetics, prolongation of lamp life, sensor switches have several other important qualities. They are affordable, performed at a high level and comfortable to use in everyday life.
