Homeowners WantElegant Electric Upgrades (NAPS)—Most American homeown- ers are likely accustomed to standard, builder-grade wall plates and lighting controls in their space. However, accord- ing to a recent Harris Poll commissioned by the Collections by Legrand,82 percent of homeowners believe there are more stylish lighting control options than what cameinstalled in their home. In fact, discerning homeowners have many ways to enhance and personalize lighting and power controls with a unique selection ofwall plates, dimmers and switches, scene controllers, plug-in modules andoutlets. Key Findings Herearethe topfive ideas survey respondents had about homelighting and charging equipment. 1. Energy use and sustainability. While 91 percent of homeownerssayreducing energy use at homeis important, aboutonein five Americans don’t know that installing lighting controls can meet that objective. The adorne Motion Sensor Switch, for instance, provides combi- nation control, letting users manually or automatically turn lights on or off when entering or leaving a room through motion-sensing technology. 2. Smart home-inspired design and technology are on the rise. A growing presence of tech-focused products, appliances and solutions simplify day-today living, and lightingis identified as a priority smart homefeature. ‘The survey found that two-thirds of Americans say if they were creating a smart home, they would wantto be able to controllighting via an appor online. To that end, there are Wi-Fi and RF Lighting Systems in the adorne and radiant Collections. They let users customize at-homelighting schemes from their smartphones through an intuitive, easy-to-use app. This allows for seam- lessly controlled settings for any mood or occasion, whether at home or away. ‘The app pairs with Wi-Fi Ready and RF dimmers and switches, through a discreet communication Hub, all con- trolled over the homeowner's wireless local area network for a truly smart approach to lighting. 3. Childproofing is a major consideration for parents. Only about a quar- D) Homeowners today want light switches and outlets that are more sophisticated than the standard. ter of Americans know tamper-resistant outlets eliminate the need to childproof electrical sockets. These outlets keep young children from inserting common household objects such as keys, hairpins and other items, protecting curious little ones from danger. For example, the Night Light with Two ‘Tamper-Resistant Outlets from the radiant Collection includes black shutters that essentially disappear into the backgroundfora sophisticated invisible effect. All outlets from both collections feature a patented shutter system thatlets plugs in but keeps keys and other objects out. Additional protection can be found in such innovative items as the adorne Collection Pop-Out Outlet, which disappears into the wall with a simple push when not in use, discouraging any interference. 4. Great design is a priority. To meetanystyle profile, the radiant Col- lection offers screwless, snap-on wall plates in classic neutral and metallic styles, while the adorne Collection features luxurious, modern light switches, dimmers, outlets and wall plates that make a dramatic design statement. 5.
