Retrotouch has unveiled the Crystal line of switches, offering Touch and Wi-Fi (Touch) models with voice and app control.
With attractive glass finishes, backlit LED indicators and screwless fronts, the new Crystal range consists of Touch Light Switches, Smart Wi-Fi Switches, Smart Wi-Fi Shutter Switches and Touch & Wi-Fi Dimmer Switches. Making the home even smarter, the Wi-Fi models have app and voice control services, allowing users to connect to their Amazon Alexa to manage lighting while the Wi-Fi shutter switches can control curtains and blinds.
Crystal Touch Light Switches
Replacing the traditional light switch, the Crystal Touch Switch features a smooth, ultra-thin (4mm) toughened glass front with an LED indicator, making it easy to locate the light switch in the dark. The screwless covers are easy to install and fit a 35mm back box using standard wiring with no neutral required, making it ideal for retrofit applications.
The Crystal Touch Switch can be linked to 1-3 lights and is priced at £21.60.
Crystal+ Smart Wi-Fi Switches
Again, replacing the traditional light switch, the Crystal+ Smart Wi-Fi Switch adds more control options to the user, including touch, app or voice control through Amazon Alexa.
Featuring the same toughened glass front and LED indicator as the Crystal Touch Light Switch, the Crystal+ Smart Wi-Fi Switch adds dimming technology. The backlit LED indicators glow soft blue when off and bright blue when on, making it easy to locate the switch in the dark.
It also has a screwless front that is easy to install and fits a 35mm back box using standard wiring with no neutral required, perfect for retrofitting.
Linking to 1-3 lights, the Crystal+ Smart Wi-Fi Switches are priced at £46.80.
Crystal+ Smart Wi-Fi Shutter Switches
Similar to the Crystal+ Smart Wi-Fi Switches, the Crystal+ Smart Wi-Fi Shutter Switches adds the control of blinds, shutters and curtains to lighting control. Touch and App operation is offered, giving users control options.
With sophisticated glass finishes, backlit LED indicators, and advanced control using automation and schedules, these models offer an easy way to completely update a home or office.
The screwless front models are easy to install and fit 35mm back box. They are available as a 1-gang switch, priced at £46.80.
Crystal Touch / Crystal Wi-Fi Dimmer Switches
The Crystal Touch / Wi-Fi Dimmer Switches feature ultra-thin toughened glass fronts with backlit LED indicators and are designed to work with LED bulbs and replace the traditional dimmer switch. For easy location in the dark, the indicators glow soft blue when off and bright blue when on.
The Touch models have a feather-touch panel with only the slightest of touches needed to turn on and off. The Wi-Fi dimmer can be controlled via App or Voice, with Amazon Alexa.
Both versions incorporate the latest dimming technology to deliver ideal light levels. A memory setting will turn on to the last used setting so users can always access their favourite.
The screwless front models are easy to install and fit a 35mm back box. Touch Dimmers have 1- or 2-gang options, priced at £38.40. The Wi-Fi Dimmers come as 1-gang models, priced at £46.80.
