Retrofit a wireless light switch – in 5 minutes and without drilling
An additional light switch would be practical – but laying new cables, chiseling open walls, or complex electrical installations deter many homeowners and apartment dwellers.
The good news: Today, there's a much simpler solution.
With a battery-free wireless light switch, almost any lighting can be retrofitted – completely without new wiring and without complex modifications.
Why traditional retrofitting is often expensive
If a new light switch is to be installed, this often means:
- Chiseling open walls
- Laying cables
- Re-plastering grooves
- Painting work
- High time and cost expenditure
Especially in existing buildings, this effort is often not worthwhile.
The simple alternative: Wireless light switches
A wireless light switch works completely independently of existing wiring.
The switch is simply attached where it is needed – for example:
- next to the bed
- on a glass wall
- on tiles
- on wood
- next to the patio door
- in the basement
- in the garage
The actual radio receiver is connected to the lamp or in a flush-mounted box. The switch then communicates wirelessly with the receiver.
