More details
The classic remote control. Works without batteries and infrared signals.
Today, pull switches are most often used to keep electrical connections away from splash water. For this reason, they are usually installed at ceiling level. However, they are also useful in places where today's extensive wiring infrastructure is not available, i.e. in basements, workshops, garages, sheds and summerhouses. With pull switches a power connection (for light or fan) emerging near the ceiling can be switched in the simplest possible way, without having to run a longer cable to a normal switch within reach of the user. This saves material and labour. Some people are also familiar with pull switches from the classic arrangement above the headboard of a bed. In addition to the previously widespread economy of electrical installations, there was another reason for this. In dark rooms, a hanging cord is easier to find due to its length, which is why this solution can still be found in hospital patient rooms today. The pull loop can be extended as required with chain, cord or even just a string.
Covers & Combinations
All switches, push-buttons and sockets are supplied without outer coverings!
Both round and square single and system coverings are available, as well as square multiple coverings. These can be combined with all switches, push-buttons and sockets from the switch system Bakelite.
All coverings can be used in existing installations without any problems, as they have been developed according to the standard spacings. The Bakelite switch system fits in all standard flush-mounted boxes; only for the installation of data sockets, flush-mounted boxes with an increased volume are recommended.
The Bakelite switch system is compatible with the Duroplast switch system and with the coverings of the White Glass switch system. Since the Porcelain switch systems are of a different height, they are not compatible.
