Switches are basic home electric devices that affect daily convenience and safety. As smart homes become popular, touch switches are replacing old mechanical switches. Our technicians explain their key differences below.

 

 

Most houses use single live wire wiring. Old switches are simple to fit, but upgrading them usually means re-wiring walls.High-quality touch switches can directly replace traditional switches. No wall breaking or extra wiring is required, saving installation costs and keeping your decoration intact.

 

 

Early smart home products looked similar and lacked personalized functions, losing many customers.Touch switches act as central smart home controls with multiple scene modes. They better satisfy modern smart living needs and have bigger market potential than regular switches.

 

 

Traditional switches turn power on/off via mechanical parts and need no standby electricity.Touch switches must stay powered to support smart functions. For single live wire circuits, they use single-line power extraction, drawing small current from connected appliances to work.

 

Ordinary single-line switches only support loads between 5W and 700W, failing to work with low-power LED lights. Cheap models add resistors or capacitors, which overheat and create safety risks.Shenzhen Lvhua’s upgraded touch switches solve this issue. Our optimized power technology supports more lamp types with higher safety.
