Wireless Light Switch

A wireless light switch is a light switch that commands a light or home appliance to turn itself off or on, instead of interrupting the power line going to the light fixture.

There are different ways to communicate between the switch and the fixture:

1. Using radio transmission: A radio receiver is typically wired or screwed into a fixture or device, wired or otherwise connected to the electrical system of the building or plugged into an outlet. The radio receiver's memory is programmed by any number of means to respond to certain selected "switches" or (more correctly) remote control transmitters.

2. Using the existing power lines: A receiver is plugged into an outlet and a device is then plugged into the receiver. The plug-in receiver is then programmed to the switches. Some devices are hard wired into ceiling light fittings, making for a hidden system.

A wireless light switch eliminates the wire from the light to the switch location. This is useful in remodeling situations where new wiring can be a costly hassle.

Rather than tearing down a wall to gain access to the wires a wireless switch can be used. This avoids any need to access wires and makes remodeling fast and simple.

Available With Dimmers

If your lighting requires modulated lighting for different occasions, you can achieve this with a multitude of dimmer light switch options. This technology allows you to use a simple toggle or knob on the switch to adjust your light levels from near darkness to normal brightness.

If you are looking for a wireless light switch with a sensor, take a look at door jamb light switches (work well at closets). With these, you can literally turn on the lights simply by walking into the house.

This is very useful when coming home with a bag full of groceries or luggage. Furthermore, you don’t even have to be home at all to turn the lights on or off, or to control their brightness.

There are a number of light switch timers for both indoor and outdoor use. These timers can be programmed to turn your lights off an hour after your departure, making it look like someone is home and going to bed.

For outdoor lighting, select from motion sensor light switches and timers in both 120V and low voltage options. With these devices you can add efficient lighting to your front and back yards with equal convenience.

For those who prefer more sophisticated methods, you can literally control lights and lighting levels from the kitchen, the car, or even remotely over the phone with a touchtone interface!

Batteries Are Optional

Since the advent of remote control, people have been trying to figure out a way to have a light switch turn a light on and off without having to be physically connected to the light. Unfortunately, this has always required some kind of battery (to power the remote) and that battery would invariably die.

But now, a few companies have figured out a way to have the light switch be powered by you. Every time you flip the switch, a tiny generator creates a tiny charge.

That tiny charge powers a tiny remote control that sends out a tiny signal that can be received by the light. All from the "power" of flipping a switch.

Motion detectors have been around for a long time of course, but the drawback is that you need to place the sensor somewhere and connect it to the light, involving cabling and drilling work. I don't know about you, but personally I avoid such chores whenever I can.

There are two approaches to solve this problem that don't require wiring and drilling.

The first type of product is simply screwed into an existing light socket, after which the bulb is screwed into the sensor socket. Sixty seconds and you're done!

Lightning Switch Wireless Transmitters use space technology to generate their own electricity whenever the Transmitter button is pushed. Their radio signals go 40 ft. to 100+ ft. (depending on the models you choose) right through walls, floors and ceilings.

With this type of wireless light switch you can install controls for lights and appliances in minutes... while saving as much as 70% to 80% of the installed cost of regular wired switches. Incredibly, these revolutionary remote control switches can work for decades… and they never need batteries!
