Lighting Controls feature wireless, self-powered design.
Using solar power and kinetic energy to wirelessly communicate with light fixtures, Airwave Controls require no hardwires or batteries. Motion of pushing self-powered light switch captures enough kinetic energy to transmit wireless RF commands, allowing lights to dim or turn ON/OFF. Airwave photosensors, powered by integral photovoltaic cells, monitor ambient light levels and wirelessly signal...
