A flatplate lightswitch which sits just 1.5mm proud of the wall is being launched by Intelliswitch under the brand name, 'The Switch', as part of two new intelligent touch-control lightswitches.
The switches are available in four ranges: Slimline, Flatplate and Classic (metal switches) plus Lifestyle (plastic), with finishes designed to fit in with any d?cor or room setting.
The metal switch ranges are available in five different chrome or brass finishes, which can be combined with 'touch' inserts chosen from nearly twenty different colours.
The plastic switches are also available with snap-on cover plates, which can be colour co-ordinated from the same colour range.
The products are easy to fit and require no additional wiring, with slave switches available to allow for two-way switching.
'The Switch' features a ground-breaking self-calibration feature which allows it to compensate for its local environment, ensuring faultless operation in all installations, e.g, in dry or damp walls, brick or plaster, near metal beams and behind metal face plates or ceramic tiles.
Intelliswitch products are manufactured in the UK by an ISO9001 approved company and have been independently tested and approved to the latest applicable British and European (BS EN) standards.
They will appeal to a wide range of consumers, architects, house builders, specifiers and electricians as a practical and affordable solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Intelliswitch Chairman, Graham Whitworth, commented "The take up by CEF outlets of 'The Switch' acknowledges that customer demand for the product is there and means that those outlets are well placed to capitalise on this, when sales further increase in coming months as more people become aware of 'The Switch' through our PR, advertising and marketing campaigns.".
