RETRO TOUCH - Cost-Effective, Easy to Install Switches

Friday, August 26, 2011
Want to glam up your home, have lights that set the right mood, be able to turn the lights up or down without having to move from the sofa or bed?

If so, Retrotouch on stand 435 - has the answer with its retrofit light switches that use existing wiring, and are quick and easy to install.  And, for added ambiance Retrotouch has a new easy to fit home Audio System so everyone can tune in to their favourite festive music or radio station.

Retrotouch Glass Remote Control Light Switches
Retrotouch’s range of glass-plate remote-control light switches – in gold, black and white - bring sophisticated but affordable home automation to any type of property.   The Retrotouch RTS 2040 Touch and Remote light switches can be touch or remote controlled, and come with a handy remote control unit that works through walls for seamless lighting control. They are a retrofit solution – so they use existing wiring, and are quick and easy to install.

The Retrotouch RTS2040 Touch and Remote light switches come in 1 gang -3 gang options so that you can control from 1 to three independent lights via one unit.  The light switches can, if needed, be controlled by an optional master remote control. This gives the user the power to turn on/off any light switch in the home or set scenes – patterns of  light – in different rooms, without the need for expensive controllers or senders.   The RTS 2040 1 gang is £51.08 inc VAT and the 3 gang is £61.29.


Wire-free switches - easily-installed light switches for “impractical” places
The Completely Wireless Switch  (RTS 2020W) is ideal for adding a light switch to the porch, conservatory, loft - or anywhere you want a switch but previously thought difficult –without the need for expensive re-wiring.
You simply attach the Wireless 2 Way Touch light switch to your wall with concealed fixing screws, without connecting to any live wires, and for £84.99 you get an additional light switch anywhere you want to put one without having to rewire the house!  The wireless switch is also an ideal solution for disabled people who may find existing switches in their home difficult to reach.

The 2 Way Wireless Touch switch needs to be paired with a WIRED Touch & Remote switch, and then it works in the same way as a remote control, with a range of up to 20m.  The WIRED Touch & Remote switches (priced from £41 each) are also easy-to-install – a DIY job that uses existing wiring to create a remote-control switch in any room of the house. You can use up to four Wireless Touch switches or mini remotes when paired to one master remote switch.  The new wireless switch comes in glass and chrome trim, and in 1,2 and 3 gang options.
