Everything in the market nowadays is moving toward smart things - smart lighting, smart lighting control, smart heating control, smart fire alarms, smart thermostat, smart everything. It's time for the switches to be both smart and wireless!
What is Culina Konect Self-powered Smart Switch System?
You may have never heard of Culina Konect, but this switch system is completely wireless and smart at the same time.
Building on the success of their kinetic light switches, Forum Lighting launched the white and black switches plus a handy new key fob with entry-level range of non-wi-fi receivers.
The switches convert the kinetic energy produced by physically pressing the switch into electrical energy to control your lights via a receiver. What you need are the receiver and the switch or switches, and you're all set.
The receiver comes in a compact design, which means that you can install it almost anywhere. It has a range of up to 40m from the switch when outdoor and 8m away when indoors.
If you have one single light fitting, you can install the receiver right there with it, and the switch can be put anywhere you want.
The smart switch kit includes a self-powered wall switch and the receiver.
After you pair the two by pressing the button on top of the receiver, you can use the wall switch to control the receiver.
Of course, the receiver can also work independently.
And if you want to use a dimmer, you can do so - there is a dimmer available for wireless installation.
How does Culina Konect Smart System work?
How does this system work? You need at least two things: a receiver and a switch. The receiver is for each light (if you want to switch or dim an individual light fitting or for each lighting circuit.
If you want to control the ceiling fan, you can use the Culina Konect smart system in a similar way - install the receiver with the ceiling fan, and synchronize the switch or switches.
The switches do not need to be wired to the mains - they are self-powered, using micro-energy acquisition technology.
Each press of the switch is converted to electric energy - kinetic energy is converted to electric energy when the button is pressed. You don't need a battery and you don't need mains power.
If you want to dim the LED lights, you need to install the dimming receiver, and if you want to simply switch the LED lights, install the switching receiver.
Make sure the receiver is no further than 25m from the switch indoors and 80m outdoors.
As for the lifetime of the switch, it can switch ON/OFF at least 100.000 times. Here are the components of the system and where you can purchase them:
