The future of Touchless Switches

16 February 2022

 

Jumping into 2022, a new generation of switches have emerged on the scene, introducing touchless switches.

Hygiene has played a massive part during the Covid-19 crisis, we know touching contact surfaces can transmit bacteria and viruses through infection. Touchless switches were introduced into hospitals and public restroom facilities, to help reduce the spread.

How do touchless switches work?

Touchless switches work by receiving an infrared signal response without a person touching any equipment or switch panel. They also offer a very high reliability, due to the complete absence of any moving parts.

Another useful benefit to touchless switches, is due to there enclosed design they work perfect indoors and outdoors.

Here at the Electrical Counter, we have an incredible range of touchless switches from Knightsbridge, perfect for keeping your family safe.
