Remote light switch with remote control

One of the devices that make life easier for a person at home is a light switch with a remote control (DU). About how to install it and how it works, I'll tell you in this article.

Principle of operation of the light switch with the remote control

The remote control set includes a remote control and a switch with a signal receiver. This device eliminates the need to turn off the light manually, that is, pressing the button. To make it work, you need to point the remote at the switch and press the button. This is very convenient when there is a large number of lamps and highlights in the room. The range of this switch varies from 20 m to 100 m (outdoors).

How to connect a remote light switch?

For this you will need very little time and a screwdriver. Unscrew the old conventional switch. Be sure to turn off the electricity before starting these operations.

If your device will work with ordinary light bulbs (with filament), then they are put in the same way as usual ones. If it is envisaged to work with energy saving and LED lamps, then they need to have a zero and a phase in the immediate vicinity for it.

The connection of the remote light switch can be carried out independently, but for this it is necessary to have an idea of ​​how the conventional switch is arranged and what wiring should be connected. If you have absolutely no idea about this, it is better to call a specialist for their installation.

Advantages of remote light switch with remote control

The advantages of switches of this type include:

1. Ability to turn off the light at a distance. This is very important in large rooms, people with disabilities or, if necessary, adjust the light on the site.
2. Presence of the "presence" function when there is no one at home. The switch is programmed for a certain frequency of inclusions per day, so no one will notice that you do not have a long term at home.
3. Easy installation without changing the location.
4. Gradual increase in illumination (possible only with incandescent lamps) and the ability to control the level of brightness.
5. Multichannel. One switch can control a large number of lighting devices. This is convenient if there is a multistage lighting system in the room. There is no need to place switches anywhere, and then press them.

There are models that work only from their console, and there are - from any, which greatly simplifies the life of the owner.
