Inviting users to enjoy cleaner, more convenient control, the latest designer switch from the radiant® Collection turns lights on/off with a simple wave – no contact necessary.
Legrand®, a world-renowned specialist in electrical wiring devices, has announced the launch of a new radiant® Wave Switch, extending their innovative touchless technology first made popular by the adorne® Collection to fit into even more applications and projects.
Perfect for any environment where hands might get dirty, messy or full, the radiant Wave Switch provides an easy, sleek option for cleaner control in both commercial and residential applications and is available in both 15A and 20A. Users can avoid touching the switch directly by turning lights, or even small-motored appliances like garbage disposals, on and off with just a wave, limiting mess and reducing the potential spread of germs.
“Exceptional design is as much about offering practical solutions as it is about style and form,” said Angela Coffman, VP, Marketing EWS & GM Collections. “Who hasn’t struggled to hit the lights when carrying something? Or needed to flip a switch with less-than-clean hands? Our collections of designer switches and outlets include options for touchless control to add convenience while also helping create cleaner spaces. Whether those spaces are hotel guestrooms, office conference rooms, or the kitchen and laundry room in a home.”
The Wave Switch installs easily in place of any standard light switch and can be used in both single-pole and 3-way applications. It also features an internal sensor which can be adjusted to detect the wave motion anywhere from 1” to 6” from the device to best fit a specific user’s needs or preferences. In addition to the new radiant Wave Switch, the adorne Wave Switch will also be made available in a 20A version to round out Legrand’s complete offering of designer, touchless solutions.
