Installation
Professional installation required.
Factors to Consider
These large light switches can be operated using an elbow or by using larger, less precise movements.
These switches can be illuminated when a light is off to attract the attention of a user in the dark. This may be due to memory issues or visual impairment.
Various light and dark colours are available to provide contrast with the background wall for those with visual impairment.
A large size dial for a dimmer switch is available. This may be easier to grip for those with reduced hand function.
