Glow in the Dark Light Switch

glow in the dark light switch

A glow in the dark light switch is an easy and cost effective way to make your home safer. It is ideal for dementia sufferers who can become disoriented in their own homes and people with other cognitive impairments who struggle to find their way in the dark. It is also great for anyone who gets up in the middle of the night to go to bed and can’t locate their light switch because they have a vision impairment.

The product is designed to be a replacement for an existing light switch plate and installs in seconds with no electrician required. It uses advanced, custom formulated photo luminescent plastic that charges in natural light or artificial room light and glows all night. Its long-persistence and uniform glow means it lasts much longer than traditional single dot LED-based solutions that quickly burn out. The substantially convex shape of the photo luminescent plastic increases the frontal, light absorbing and glow emitting surface area compared to standard switches, providing increased visibility from any angle in front of the wall. The fire retardant, insulating white foam gasket behind the switch plate also retroreflects incoming glow light back into the plate to charge it from behind and greatly enhances its glow effect.

GlowaSwitch’s innovative design separates it from other glow-in-the-dark switch-finding solutions. It has a purpose-driven, industrial design that optimizes its function and looks great in any home. Its use of premium-quality, state-of-the-art photo luminescent materials ensure that the product is an exceptional value at its price point. GlowaSwitch provides a safe alternative to old neon or newer LED-based night lights and saves energy versus constantly running an overhead fixture.

Its simple installation method is more effective and convenient than other glow-in-the-dark products that require complex wiring operations. GlowaSwitch requires no electricity or bulbs but is charged by periodic natural light or artificial room lighting to recharge all night long, eliminating the need for batteries and requiring no maintenance.

Unlike other “glow in the dark” products, that use an opaque paint or adhesive stickers, GlowaSwitch is made with transparent photo luminous plastic so it looks like a normal light switch plate at first glance. It is also a durable product and is available in toggle or rocker (also known as Decorator) light switch versions.

Its unique design is based on the science of light absorption and reflection. The front of the light switch plate is a translucent, light absorbing, glow-emitting polymer plastic with a thick layer of phosphorescent microparticles, and it’s manufactured using a patent-pending process that results in superior luminescence and durability. It is also a durable, flame retardant material and contains no mercury or lead. The product is backed by a 10-year warranty. The manufacturer recommends washing the light switch plate by hand with a mild dish soap and warm water. It should be allowed to air dry before being reinstalled. The company’s website offers a tutorial video and PDF for customers to learn how to properly install and maintain their products.
