Switches & Buttons

A vintage-style light switch brings an old-time atmosphere and decorative feel—resembling the kinds of switches used in construction back when lighting began to become automated in new homes, commercial spaces, and factories. A vintage-style switch also fits nicely in a new, modern home.

A light switch can differ in design from a traditional switch, and in addition you can choose a color you like that matches the rest of your interior. Alongside classic white, different shades of grey and black light switches have become increasingly common. Especially in recent years, black has strongly dominated interior details.

A black light switch is a stylish choice both for modern and for more old-fashioned switch designs. Unlike white, black often adds contrast and depth to an interior. Black is easy to combine with all kinds of wallpaper and painted surfaces, regardless of their color.

A light switch can do more than just click lights on and off. Its versatility comes from the fact that it can also be made to work with a timer or a motion sensor, making it more pleasant and effortless to use. Especially outdoors or in storage areas, motion-sensor lighting makes moving around easier and adds safety.

A light switch with a timer helps you control lighting outdoors or inside the home so that lights turn on at a certain time in the evening—for example, when you return from work. Timer-controlled lighting saves energy, because you don’t need to leave lights on when no one is at home or moving around the yard, or when nobody needs lighting.
