Different Types of Power Switches
Although traditional toggle switches reliably get the job done, technological advancements mean that power switches have even greater capabilities for the convenience and customization of your home’s lighting.
What Does a Motion Sensor Switch Do?
Motion sensor switches activate when movement is detected, allowing for hands-free lighting when someone comes into the light switch’s range. They are solid options in garages, at home entry points and in hallways throughout your home. What’s more, they can turn off after a time when they haven’t detected any movement.
Versatility with a Fan Control Switch
A fan control switch typically has toggles or knobs to adjust the speed of a ceiling fan as well as the lighting from the fan light fixture. Some models allow you to install a Bluetooth remote control for your ceiling fan, too, for even greater comfort and ease of use.
Benefits of Combination Switches
A combination switch features many capabilities. It allows for multiple light control points with a single switch, consolidating light points in specific rooms and throughout your home. Some combo switches may be designed with motion detectors or electrical outlets for greater versatility.
Other Specialty Power Switches
Sound-activated light switches provide a clever home hack, letting you turn on—or off—whatever electrical appliances are plugged into the switch with sound. Another type of specialty switch, quiet switches are turned on and off without making a sound, offering quiet operation for your home.
Smart Switch Technology
When most people think of modern homes with updated conveniences, one of the first things they think about is smart lighting. Having the ability to tailor your lighting to your mood and the activity in your home can’t be overstated. From creating layered lighting when hosting friends or simply turning off the lights at the end of the day, smart tech can make your life easier.
Smart switches typically have Wi-Fi capabilities to allow total control of your home lighting using an app on your smart device. Some models allow you to create custom settings for further versatility. What’s more, they typically can work with other smart devices and can fulfill the job function of fan control switches, light dimmers, and other power switches. Find the right switches to control lighting and other electronics to set the right tone and mood in every space.
