Adorne, Legrand

The lowly light switch gets a tech-savvy update.

1 MIN READ

Aside from the toggle switch in the early 20th century and the paddle switch in the 1960’s, light switches haven’t undergone many changes. Adorne from Legrand upgrades the act of turning the lights on and off in residential spaces to incorporate contemporary technology. The collection comprises seven models, each with a distinctive on/off activation, including the touch-activated Touch Switch; Wave, which starts at the wave of a hand; SensaSwitch, whose sensors detect when an occupant enters a room; and the Pop-Out Outlet, with three outlets that can be pushed flush to the wall when not in use. adornemyhome.com
