The new home lighting system takes one step into the future!

Whenever you enter your home, you have to find the light switch to switch on the lights. At nights, we you want to attend to the call of nature, you have to stumble to find the switch to flick it on. Not any more. The new technology that has got raved reviews in Europe has hit the U.S markets. Now whenever you pull into your driveway at night, you can reach for the remote – not the remote control for the garage door – the remote for your home’s lighting system. One click switches on a radio-controlled network that makes the lights both inside and outside your home respond to your command. It sure sounds like a house of future. But it is not.

The ingenious technology that has introduced a cutting edge product for the first time at this year’s Pacific Coast Builder’s Conference for homes is the unique Verve Living system, an innovative product for lighting control from Masco Corporation.

The Verve lighting system relies on the technology developed by EnOcean, a European manufacturer. They are a spin-off of Siemens Corporation. The technology is a breakthrough in energy-harvesting and radio frequency science. The engineers at EnOcean discovered a way to gather energy from the simple act of clicking a switch; this energy is used to transmit a small and compact radio signal wirelessly and at great speeds. The little transmission from a clicker sends instructions to lighting fixtures and outlets through a ten-channel controller.

This is great news for home builders and a huge breakthrough too. The lighting system completely eliminates wires, batteries and huge energy costs. It saves thousands of dollars in building a house. Obviously you will have to wire the entire house and install batteries and other electric systems to light the entire house. The best thing is that Verve Living systems cuts your energy bills and give you complete control of the lighting system of your house.

And that’s not all. The best feature of this system is that nothing is hardwired. Verve switches can be mounted on anything – virtually everything – anywhere within the house. If you want to place switches low so your little ones or wheelchair-bound homeowners can reach them easily. You can place the switch on the sliding glass door. It is completely free of wires. You can also lower the intensity of any light in your home form any switch or combination of switches, creating ambience while saving hundreds of dollars in energy costs. It also extends the bulb life within your home.

This lighting system is already popular in Europe for over five year and now it has been introduced in U.S market. This great technology is surely going to end up in most of the homes in the country. The wireless lighting control system is unique and if you are looking for portability, mobility and ease of use, checkout the product at www.vervelivingsystems.com
