Guide to Wireless Switches

Wireless light switches are cheapest through sites selling refurbished goods

A wireless on/off switch isn't too expensive if you're buying it for a single household, but contractors can save a ton by buying bulk, refurbished switches from sites that specialize in used telecommunications equipment. These companies often offer customer service that local hardware or home improvement stores do not.

I recommend: Get quotes within 4 business hours on refurbished Cisco wireless switches through Network Hardware Resale. Network Liquidators offers refurbished switches from manufacturers such as Nortel, Foundry and HP.

Check out green wireless switches

It seems like many companies are going green by relying on power sources other than battery or changing up other components they use in manufacturing. Wireless switches are no exception. Don't worry about how long your batteries will last--find a wireless switch that doesn't rely on battery power and do your part to save the environment as well as money.

I recommend: Both EnOcean and Ad Hoc Electronics offer top-of-the-line wireless and battery-free wall switches in a wide variety of designs and colors.

Find the widest range of prices and applications for a wireless wall switch specific to lighting

A wide range of prices on your wireless wall switch needs are available online. No matter what you spend, ask wireless remote control switch sellers about their customer service and existing client base. If they're a high-end company, you might even ask them to provide you with a visual portfolio.
