Premium quality electrical accessories that blend traditional design with contemporary finishes
Focus SB stays up to date with the ever-changing improvements in lighting, dimming, and smart home technology as seen in their latest collection. Control switches by Focus SB are designed with convenience in mind as each faceplate has enough space for up to four switches on a single to eight switches on a twin, and are available in bespoke component form or a selected range of complete products. To create luxury homes the right finishes are key, and these control switches offer circular and square button design options.
These system interface solutions are low voltage featuring dry contacts enabling the programming of one switch for multiple functions and – depending on compatibility – are suitable to use with lighting controls, home automation systems, and inline dimming packs. Inline dimmers and lighting control systems monitor the state of the control or retractive switches based on pre-programmed actions in order to work.
Their single throw spring back retractive or momentary action toggle, rocker, and push button switches (bell push) have a normally closed and normally open contact. For example, if you turn off the lights they may come back on at full brightness as opposed to remaining in the same dimmed state as it was before being turned off. These pre-programmed actions occur based on when the system sees a closed or open switch.
Some inline dimmers and lighting control systems are better suited to double throw centre off retractive switches, which are able to spring back to the middle. However, it’s important to check compatibility with the dimmer system manufacturer.
Focus SB’s multipurpose switches offer a wide range of benefits and uses including:
- Audio programming
- The creation of lighting scenes
- Turning lights on or off based on whether you leave or enter the property
- Raising or dimming the lights
- Opening and closing blinds, curtains, and shutters
- Window operating systems
- Doorbells (latching bell push button)
- The new low voltage Control switches by Focus SB are dry contact making them suitable for bathrooms
These flexible switches are handcrafted in East Sussex in-house at Focus SB. High quality metal base materials are used when manufacturing, testing, finishing, and hand-assembling these unique lighting accessories. They’re available in Classic and True Edge faceplate styles to offer designers flexibility of choice.
Recently, the Contemporary toggle switch was added into the Kelly Hoppen collection. Kelly Hoppen’s iconic style is brought to life through switches and sockets, which are important details to finish off a space. She aimed to introduce “jewellery-like details and alternative finishes” and Focus SB’s switches bring this vision to life. The sleek components are made with solid brass bar to create a striking finish in modern interiors.
As designers, we’re often looking for contemporary on-trend touches, and these switches offer both an element of luxury and flexibility with their multi-function properties. Get in touch with Focus SB to learn more about how you can use their high-quality switches in your designs.
