Sweet Intuitive Lighting Switch from Philips Lighting & Philips Design

I love the sweet color saturation ring featuring in this modern switch by Philips Lighting and Philips design in collaboration with co designer Tom Pelzer. It looks very intuitive and the lighting is called the To Be Touched Range. Available in four different models of On/off/dim (IR), Color Temperature (DMX), Color (DMX), On/off/dim (Dali), the new sweet lighting switch can automatically turn the light off in just 15 seconds when there are no human being detected by this cool lighting switch.

The ring color saturation as I mention earlier isn’t just showing color saturation, in fact, it will adjust to the way how bright you set the lighting. The dimmer you set the switch then the deeper color saturation you will get. It’s really interesting how today’s interior design really influence even up to lighting switches. I must admit that the color will beautify and act more than just a switch unlike in the traditional common switch we found.

How does this thing works? Then here is how it works. “The main iconic color ring is touch-based and backlit for direct feedback / feedforward. It therefore can change its appearance depending on which functionality mode is selected by using the touch mode buttons with intuitive icons above the ring (for example color, saturation and intensity for the color user interface). With the To Be Touched user interfaces you have a choice of an infinite variety of colors –at the touch of a finger. In short, you control light with light!” Check further at their original web site here.
