1.
Wall
mounting options on the wall
Installation:under ducts, molds or skirting boards.
Use: specially adapted to the renovation of a room or an already designed space.
Advantages: modular system, simple and fast to apply, without dust or dirt.
Disadvantages: less aesthetic effect than the installation in a recess
Inside a recess
The circuits circulate in the pipes that are integrated in the grooves. Disadvantages: heavy and cluttered work that requires special tools (cutting machine or groove for the grooves, drill to drill the positions of the built-in boxes). 2. Switches, sockets and multimedia sockets
Use: new construction or major renovation.
Advantages: very aesthetic installation result and important choice of appropriate equipment.
An electrical installation consists of separate circuits: lighting, sockets, specialized lines (water heaters, radiators, ovens & hobs ...)
Light
switches On lighting switches there is a wide range of options. Depending on the model, they work by turning a lever, pressing a button or even touching them
• The simple switch, single connection, controls a single point of light
• The dual connection switch is intended for lighting with two groups of lamps, which we want to operate independently: for example chandeliers
• The switch ale retouruses two switches designed to control lighting from two parts between them: for example entrance, corridor, staircase, room accessible from two doors
• If the installation requires 3 checkpoints or more there are intermediate ale retour switches where they can be installed in any they need points
• The silent switch turns on and off without any noise: ideal for children's rooms and rest areas
• The dimmeradjusts the brightness, depending on the needs and allows the creation of atmospheric lighting
• The timer helps save electricity by automatically turning off the light after a predetermined time: for example, 20 seconds for a corridor or escalator
• The automatic circuit breaker. It turns on the lights when someone passes in front of them and then turns them off automatically. Recommended for areas such as toilets and hallways, to save energy.
Electrical sockets
The standard sockets are of the type 2 poles, regardless of the intensity they support: 10, 16A ... The sockets with the 2-pin plugs are more in the old installations Hi-Fi
multimedia sockets
or sound: Connects the speakers to a hi system -fi or home cinema
Simple TV : Provides reception via coaxial cable connected to an external antenna.
TV / FM / SAT: with 3 sockets, each connected to a different antenna (normal antenna, parabolic, FM radio).
RJ 45: plug that accepts telephone, TV, peripheral or other computer equipment (computer, printer ...), Internet.
Useful information :sockets and switches are available in series with all distribution and control functions. 3. Monobloc or combinations Monobloc This type of "all in one" offer ready combinations in sockets and switches. They are ready and connected to a single function in the recess box mounted on the wall. Monobloc-ready equipment is very useful and easy to choose. Personalization capabilities are relatively limited.
Combinations
The final product consists of two or three interchangeable parts at will:
1.Mechanism or function
2. Cover and finish,
3. Frame and finish
An aesthetic solution, modern, for a decorative effect responding to today's needs and modern trends.

Tip :Once the operation is selected, for the best combination of tile, frame and finish, the selection is made in the same order.
4. Wireless operation When
operating with radio waves, wireless controllers have many advantages.
- Simple device without cables.
- Many functions available, independent or interrelated.
- It is possible to adapt to an automation system , when it is available at home.
There are several types of wireless controls.
• Wireless ale retour connection : to go up and down the ladder safely, for example.
• Intra-receiver device forwireless ceiling lighting : allows you to freely place the lighting switch in the most convenient place.
• Automatic switch: automatically activates the lighting of a room. Practical, especially, to climb a ladder with your hands loaded without having to press a button.
