How energy-efficient are your motion-sensing and dimmer switches?
Motion-sensing switches can cut lighting energy use by up to 60% in low-traffic areas by automatically turning lights off after a user-defined vacancy period. Our digital dimmers use trailing-edge technology that reduces wattage without producing flicker, offering energy savings of 10-40% depending on the dimming level and lamp type. All efficiency data is independently verified to comply with ENERGY STAR or DLC guidelines.
What safety features are built into your advanced switches?
Every switch carries UL listing and features arc-suppression circuits, thermal overload protection, and tamper-resistant shutters (for receptacle-switch combos). Smart models include over-current and over-temperature shutdown triggered by onboard microcontrollers, while outdoor versions sport IP66 weatherproof ratings and UV-resistant housings for prolonged durability.
