Feature Bathroom lighting is becoming more desirable, but until now the choices of switching have been severely limited. (Pull-cords, PIRs or outside switching). Sensorbility, has therefore developed the Bathroom Switch<\/i> controller, with Dimmer and Timer variants; thus allowing bathroom designers far more flexibility when it comes to lighting design and operation within<\/span><\/i> bathrooms.<\/p>\n

The variations of the new controller include simple on\/off switching, ramp-up dimming, ramp-down switch-off and time delay switch-off.<\/p>\n

Wired to our proven Bathroom Switch Sensor Pads<\/i>, which can be placed behind most materials such as most Tiles, Wood, Plastic, Glass, and even Metals, users can create switches or dimmers in virtually any shape and situation. Tiles covering Sensor Pads<\/i> are adhered with silicone allowing access should it be necessary. In Bathrooms, these Sensor Pads<\/i> can even be placed behind tiles reachable from the bath or shower (zones 1&2) and thus allow safe switching and dimming.<\/p>\n

The new Bathroom Switch<\/i> controllers can be activated from up to 12 low voltage (5vdc) Sensor Pads<\/i>, so for example a Dimmer Controller can be operated from a Sensor Pad<\/i> by the door and then the lights dimmed by touching a tile whilst in the bath.<\/p>\n

Most types of lighting can be operated by the Bathroom Switch<\/i>; this includes incandescent bulbs, halogens (mains and low voltage), LEDs and low energy bulbs. The dimmer controller will work with most analogue dimmable LEDs but please check with us first. Because of the method of output wiring, it is even possible to dim lights as well as switch a fan on and off using the same Dimmer Controller.<\/p>\n

Bathroom Switch<\/i> controllers are usually sited outside<\/span> bathrooms, they should be installed either in the ceiling\/loft space or elsewhere outside any zoned area. Sensor Pads<\/i> are connected to controllers using thin cable such as \u201cCAT5\u201d or \u201cCAT6\u201d.<\/p>\n

Operating the Bathroom Switch<\/i> is simple: Touch your chosen faceplate (tile etc.) and the lights will turn on. Touch again to switch off. The Dimmer variant operation is also easy; touch your chosen faceplate and the lights will turn on at low level, keep touching and the lights will begin to ramp up to full brightness, remove the hand and the lights will stay at the intensity reached. To switch off, touch briefly and the lights will slowly dim back down and switch off. If required, a further touch at this stage will again latch to the intensity reached and the lights can then be ramped up again.<\/p>\n

In the timer variant, the delay is set within the controller and the lights will remain on and then switch off once the set time is reached<\/p>\n

Applications for the Bathroom Switch<\/i> include (obviously) bathrooms and wet rooms, but they can of course be used elsewhere; Bathroom Switches<\/i> have been used in various situations including in domestic situations such as where switches are required to be non obtrusive i.e. mounted behind door architraves etc, and in kitchens etc. Commercial applications include vandal proof switching, commercial kitchens, swimming pools and stairwells where wiring for multipoint switching becomes easy with just 2 wires connecting all Sensor Pads<\/i> to one controller.<\/p>\n

The Bathroom Switch<\/i> will also switch other devices (to a maximum loading of 500Watts) such as mirror demisters etc.. If a greater load is present, the Bathroom Switch<\/i> will switch a slave relay or contactor.<\/p>\n

With mood lighting becoming a desirable option within bathrooms the Bathroom Switch<\/i> provides an elegant alternative to pull-cord operation.<\/p>\n
