Touch lighting

Modern sensory lights are used not only in the system of "smart" home. They can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, and put such lights on the bedside table.

Special features

Today, most modern buildings use sensory lights. They are additionally equipped with special motion sensors. Thanks to them, the light automatically switches on and off, if the situation in the room changes in some way. Motion sensors react instantly to any light changes, as well as to movements. After installing the touch lights can significantly save on electricity costs.

Installation of touch-sensitive LED luminaires is quite simple and even a non-professional can cope with it.

The light source and motion sensor have a joint connection. This simplifies installation and saves time. For,to adapt the basic work of the light fixture to the user's needs, It is necessary to adjust a number of parameters:

  • the sensitivity of the device or its response threshold;
  • the required range of response;
  • standard response period.

Sensor operation diagram

Motion sensors present in the sensor lighting actively scan the entire required coverage area. They send special impulsive signals to it, which have a certain frequency - 5.8 GHz. Then motion sensors receive a "reflection" of signals that are bounced off all surfaces. If the sensor detects any movement in the zone of operation, the lamp automatically turns on.

Modern touch lamps have different forms and various materials are used for their production. Built-in sensors do not violate their exquisite design. Also, touch lamps do not have a negative impact on humans. Their radiation power is only 1 mW, and this is much lower than the radiation from a modern mobile phone, which we carry with us all the time.

Operating rules

Touch lights have a high frequency.They are able to monitor the situation and respond to movement in a radius of up to eight meters. You can independently change the capture zone in the settings depending on your needs. Additionally, you can set the required turn-on time of the lighting device. When adjusting the brightness value, the lighting device automatically switches on at dusk.

Touch LED lamps are of two types:

  • ceiling;
  • wall mounted.

Most often they are used in periodically visited areas of the house, for example, a kitchen or bathroom.

After the light fixture is attached to the wall or ceiling, two wires must be connected to it:

  • null;
  • phase.

After this installation, you no longer need to worry about turning on or off the light, now it is the concern of sensor technology. If you want to connect any other devices to the system, then you need to connect them to an additional terminal.

Light switches

Initially, such a concept as touch switches meant devices that had a special contact plate.If a person touched it, then there was an automatic on or off. Today, the concept of touch switches has changed significantly thanks to innovative devices. If direct action is not required to control them, then such a switch can be considered a touch switch.

The most popular sensor switches are IR sensors, volumetric sensors, and acoustic effects.

Classic switches that do not have a movable button, are considered to be touch. Structurally, they are all arranged in approximately the same way, and their main difference lies only in the sensors.

Sensors, as a rule, consist of three parts:

  • signal processing system;
  • sensor sensor;
  • communication power unit.

Touch switches have the following advantages over conventional switches, which are installed in most apartments:

  • they have a design that will look especially good in high-tech interior;
  • with a single touch, you can not just turn on the light, but also choose the currently optimal lighting mode;
  • you can use the touch switch as a separate device or one of the elementscomplex system.

Such sensor equipment is suitable for both residential and office space.

A modern wireless switch not only makes switching on and off lighting devices more convenient, but also makes it possible to create complex scenarios for controlling several lamps.

Each remote switch is often presented in several colors. This allows you to choose such a touch dimmer or switch that will look better in your interior. If you want your apartment or office to look modern, installing a touch switch is the best solution. The device will help you manage multiple zones of lighting, as well as transmit commands to the blinds, roller shutters and other equipment.
