LEGRAND/PASS & SEYMOUR WIDE SLIDE DIMMER GIVES LIGHTING CONTROL A "FACELIFT"
Legrand/Pass & Seymour, a leading provider of electrical wiring devices and home systems, introduces its new Wide Slide Dimmer. With an interchangeable face, homeowners can switch the dimmer color without having to change the device.
"The interchangeable face is a great feature, because it offers flexibility for painting or remodeling," said Keith Falkenberg, product manager at Legrand/Pass & Seymour. "If the room’s color scheme changes, homeowners won’t have to buy a different device to match. They can simply switch the dimmer face plate to go with the new color."
Color choices include white, ivory, and light almond. The Dimmer also has energy-saving benefits and allows homeowners to enjoy the most pleasing light level for any task.
The Wide Slide Dimmer can operate single pole or 3-way circuits, and comes in preset and slide-to-off models. It’s available in 700- and 1100-watt versions, with no derating required on the 700-watt unit.
LEGRAND/PASS & SEYMOUR TAMPER-RESISTANT FLOOR BOXES OFFER CONVENIENT CONNECTIONS WHILE KEEPING KIDS SAFE
Legrand/Pass & Seymour, a leading provider of electrical wiring devices and home systems, announces its line of Tamper-Resistant Floor Boxes. These receptacles meet National Electrical Code® (NEC) tamper-resistant standards while providing convenient access, rugged construction and support for both line-voltage and low-voltage connections.
The Floor Boxes install in wood and concrete with a smooth, nearly flush appearance. Swing-bracket mounting, ideal for tile floors, installs without drilling for mounting screws. The extra-deep design leaves plenty of wiring room, and four knock-out wire entries and two auto-clamp entries allow for wiring flexibility. The heavy-gauge, die-cast cover plate is compatible with a wide range of floor surfaces, including ceramic tile.
"The Tamper-Resistant Floor Boxes make it easy to install connections wherever you need them, with the reassurance that children won’t be able to stick objects into the sockets and suffer injuries," said Tom Roy, residential product manager at Legrand/Pass & Seymour. "Like all tamper-resistant receptacles, a built-in shutter system blocks things like keys and paperclips, but plugs can be inserted and removed as usual."
Each Floor Box is scrub water compliant without caulking, supplied with a foam gasket and O-ring-equipped plugs. The foam gasket also seals out dust and dirt. The Boxes include receptacles, multimedia dividers, Cat 5e jacks and F-connectors.
LEGRAND/PASS & SEYMOUR MULTI-WAY CONVERTIBLE OCCUPANCY SENSOR COMBINES DIMMING AND SENSING
Legrand/Pass & Seymour, a leading provider of electrical wiring devices and home systems, introduces its Dimming Multi-way Convertible Occupancy Sensor. With preset dimming control, automatic lighting shutoff and optional automatic lighting activation, homeowners can maximize energy savings and enjoy the most pleasing light level for any task.
The Convertible Occupancy Sensor is ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and family rooms. It can replace a single- or multi-pole switch, or an incandescent dimmer. Users can control dimming and automatic shut-off from one or more locations.
The Sensor uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to distinguish between the energy from a person in motion and the background space. It keeps lighting on as long as motion is detected, and it shuts off according to an adjustable time delay ranging from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. Users can also turn the lighting off manually.
To activate the dimming function, homeowners can press and hold down the pushbutton. Lights fade up and down continuously until the pushbutton is released. The lighted switch also offers better visibility in darkened rooms and at night.
"The combination of dimming and sensing technology within the same wall switch offers unmatched convenience and energy-saving benefits," said Keith Falkenberg, product manager at Legrand/Pass & Seymour. "Homeowners have the flexibility to match the lighting level for any activity, and the efficiency of only using lights when they’re needed."
The Sensors come in white, black, almond, light almond and ivory.
