Global industry leader launches design-driven light switches, ushering in new decorating opportunities for homeowner. WEST HARTFORD, Conn., April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With few and forgotten milestones marking the history of the household light switch—the toggle switch invented in the 1900s and the paddle switch in the 1960s - Legrand is on a quest to reinvent this essential home product with the launch of adorne, a distinctive line of switches, dimmers, outlets, and wall plates. Building upon four years of research in the American market, adorne's groundbreaking light switches open a new chapter for the homeowner, interior designer, and do-it-yourself enthusiast. The collection's compelling design, innovative technology and simple installation advance the light switch into a meaningful consideration in the home renovation process. By May 2013, adorne will be available in select lighting showrooms and home improvement stores nationwide. Achievements in Technology The truly astounding switch portfolio features seven models, each providing a unique on/off activation and user experience. Standout products in the line include: • The Touch™ Switch uses capacitive touch technology to control lights. Its stunning translucent face operates just like an iPod®. • The Wave™ Switch activates lights with the wave of a hand. • The SensaSwitch™ turns lights on and off when people enter or leave the room. • The Pop-Out™ Outlet is popped out when needed, providing three outlets, and pushed back in to fit flush to the wall when not in use. The collection also includes the adorne Under-Cabinet Lighting System - a flexible, modular track that tucks under kitchen cabinets and delivers lighting, power, and even music without cluttering the backsplash. Legrand will be unveiling adorne wireless systems for the home in June 2013, including a Wi-Fi Music System, Wireless Video Intercom, and Whole-House Wireless Lighting Controls.
