You see and feel the effects of the technology of a touchless proximity sensor in commercial uses – in banks, in airports, in hospitals, in restaurants and in stores. When you step through the supermarket’s door and it opens without manual effort on your part; when you enter a hospital sterile area and you are automatically reminded to disinfect and an antiseptic outlet dispenses a preprogrammed amount into your hands; when you wash you hands before and after eating using an automatic faucet and dryer; when you go through security checks without strange hands groping you; all these are but some of the many commercial uses being applied to the touchless proximity sensor. With this technology, infection is substantially reduced because no physical contact is necessary; it has been shown that hospitals and public washrooms have the highest risk for contamination. Also, with a touchless proximity sensor, inconveniences like misunderstandings from unwanted physical human contact and clumsy manual operation are reduced.

The good news is that the technology is now being used by Anigmo for residential use, more specifically in its range of dimmers. The touchless proximity sensor installed in an Anigmo Touchless Dimmer allows for touchless operation of your lights, which is convenient when you have no patience for unsightly and ungainly toggle switches. Moreover, with an Anigmo Touchless Dimmer you have a highly reliable light switch with a long functional life, courtesy of the lack of mechanical parts that are subject to wear and tear. The reduction of infection risks and the disposal of old-fashioned light switches with equally old-fashioned cover plates are just added bonuses. By the way, the decorative wall plate to an Anigmo Touchless Dimmer comes in at least 28 pre-designed styles, though you can make one of your own for a personalized touch.

The touchless proximity sensor in an Anigmo Touchless Dimmer works when an object (in this case, a hand) enters the detection field. Capacitive sensors then activate the dimmer to either turn it on or off. You just wave your hand about an inch from the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer and it turns on or off; when you hold your hand steady, it activates the dimming function of the touchless proximity sensor. This is certainly tons better than the radial knobs of old-fashioned dimmers; you still have to manually operate the dimmer switch, which exposes it to faster wear and tear. Also, the ability of the Anigmo Touchless Dimmer to remember its previous brightness setting is a definite and substantial improvement from the radial dimmer’s constant adjustments. You can preset it before going out to get your date, and voila! Upon entering the house, you already have the right ambience!

Furthermore, the touchless proximity sensor in any Anigmo Touchless Dimmer is programmed such that only an object with an adequate mass/dielectric constant (again, in this case, a hand) can activate it, and only within an inch of the dimmer’s control unit. Thus, accidental turn offs and turn ons are avoided, even if a horde of flies comes flying to it.

With Anigmo and their high-tech dimmer switches equipped with a touchless and proximity sensor , you not only get a reliable and tested product, you also get a beautiful thing around the house.
