In most homes, light switches are of the traditional type. A push-button switch is preferred for its old world appeal; a toggle switch is desired for its durability but the loud clicks can be disconcerting; a rocker switch is favored for its large paddle but the cover plates design are limited; a mercury switch is ideal for its silence but there is a toxic risk. Most homes too have round knobs that function as a dimmer switch, which you turn in either direction to darken or brighten light. This type of dimmer can be a hassle to operate; in the dark, you have to grope for the dimmer switch (which is easier said than done when you have your hands full), then you turn it on only to realize that you might have set it too bright or too dim. This dimmer requires constant adjustment since it does not retain its old settings when you turn it off completely. And with the limited designs available on a round dimmer switch, personal touch is out of the question.
Fortunately, there is Anigmo, an international company with headquarters in New York and manufacturing facilities in Europe, staffed with professional engineers and committed to improving life through sound engineering. Anigmo has a complete line of dimmer products that will suit discriminating design tastes and technical requirements. An Anigmo dimmer comes in 28 pre-designed wall plate covers in ceramic, glass, wood, stone, photo and miscellaneous materials. You can use these Anigmo designs or create one of your own designs using any non-conducive material. With Anigmo’s unique adapter, you can then attach your distinctive wall plate to the dimmer switch. With this unique style feature, your wall plate can become a piece of art on your wall and a thing of beauty that complements your home décor while giving you the convenience of electronic dimmer switch technology.
For example, you can have the Calligraphy ceramic plate to complete the Oriental look of your bedroom; or you can use the Simple Blue glass plate to complement your blue-toned bedroom; or you can use the Smooth Walnut wood plate for your kitchen; or you can put pictures on the wall plate to serve as wall decors; or you can make it look anyway you want just make sure that the wall plate cover is only ¾ inches thick (any thicker and the function is affected). Indeed, with an Anigmo dimmer, the style choices are endless and limited only by your imagination and design flair.
With the Anigmo dimmer switch, you do not have to deal with unwieldy toggle and rocker switches. You just pass your hand to within an inch of the dimmer switch or just tap the plate; the lights will turn on and off. You just hold your hand over the plate to activate the dimmer, until you achieve the desired brightness or dimness. The best thing about the Anigmo dimmer switch is its capacity to remember your last brightness setting even if you have completely turned off the unit. This is more convenient than the traditional round dimmer switch.
Installing A Dimmer Switch
High-tech electronics makes a modern dimmer switch work, mainly through a transistor-like device called a Triode Alternating Current Switch (TRIAC). It controls the on and off function very rapidly at a rate of 120 times per second, which is too fast for the naked eye to see. Unlike the rheostat model, an electronic dimmer is highly efficient since more than ninety percent of the energy is converted into electricity. Thus, with an electronic dimmer switch, you can save money in two ways: first, on lower electricity bills and second, on longer bulb life. With an Anigmo Touchless Dimmer, you can have all these benefits as well as ease in installation, stylish design, and the modern convenience of sensor-based technology.
You do not need to be an electric engineer or an electrician to install the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer. Provided you strictly follow the installation instructions, Anigmo’s dimmer switch is quick and simple to install, with its color-coded wires and the ease with which it can fit into any standard wall box in your home and office. You do not need special tools either since the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer is ready for installation right out of its box. There is no risk of electrocution since the dimmer switch is automatically turned off when the decorator wall plate is detached from the control unit. Truly, the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer is safe and convenient to use, even if you do not have the “Electricity for Idiots" book with you.
With the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer, you can have it installed in three ways: conventional, flushed and recessed. In a conventional installation, the control unit looks like a regular switch with the wall plate on top of the wall surface. In a flushed installation, the control unit is flushed with wall surface. In recessed installation, the wall plate is recessed relative to wall surface. Depending on the wall material and the effect you wish to achieve, these installation types can be made even more artistic with the use of decorative covers, which you can either order in Anigmo’s pre-designed ceramic, wood, glass, stone, and photo materials or you can design one yourself.
Since the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer uses sensor-based technology, you do not need to make physical contact with the dimmer switch. Remember when you used to grope in the dark for the light switch only to be startled by the sudden brightness, which you will then adjust by tinkering yet again with the rotary dimmer control? With the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer, all that is a thing of the past. You just use your hand to turn on or turn off the dimmer and voila! You need not even re-adjust the brightness setting as it is an “intelligent device".
At present, there are eight models of Anigmo Touchless Dimmer in their online store. The technical specifications vary (motor load, hertz, VAC, relay, incandescent/ fluorescent) but all can blend with the wall if desired, all operate silently (no more loud toggle clicks), all are touchless (obviously) and all work will all types of wall materials.
