You decided to change the light switch in your apartment and bought a new one. But when we started the replacement work, we found that the device you bought was not
fits. This happens when you do not know how to choose this device. To buy exactly the device that you need, follow simple tips.
- Look at the place where the old switch was installed. If there is a recess, then you need a device for flush mounting. If there is no recess, this means that you should purchase a light switch that is mounted outside the wall.
- Pay attention to your chandelier. If it has one light bulb, or several with a parallel connection, then purchase a switch with one key. If the lamp has a large number of bulbs and two or three channels, then you need a device with the appropriate number of keys.
For the correct choice of device, it is enough to follow these two tips. But in our stores a huge range of light switches is presented:
- touch light switch;
- with indicator;
- switches with built-in light control;
- remote light switch;
- acoustic switch.
What are their features? The touch light switch does not require pressing it, just a light touch is enough.
The remote switch allows you to control the lighting of the room using the remote control. These models have a built-in microprocessor. You can not only turn the light on and off, but also set a specific time to activate the lighting device. If you need to "dim" the light, you can use the special program built into this switch.
A device with an indicator is useful for those who do not want to search in the dark, touch, light switch. A built-in indicator that glows in the dark always
will tell his location.
The devices presented in stores, with a built-in brightness control, give you the opportunity to independently adjust the light intensity. But
Acoustic switches "listen" when the command to turn on or off is given by voice or clap.
The choice of model of this device depends on your wishes. The price of a light switch depends on its capabilities, design and manufacturer. The simplest device costs no more than fifty rubles, and for those who love everything exclusive and original, you can pick up some more expensive.
You can buy light switches in any specialized store or order on sites on the Internet. Do not buy fakes, always read the accompanying information on the device and pay attention to where it was produced. This will save you from breaking the circuit breaker. If you do not have the proper education, do not do it yourself by installing an electrical appliance. After all, this can lead to injury by electric shock, and it does not always end safely. Better contact a qualified electrician for help.
