• Verve’s lighting system can create its own energy

  • verve-lighting.jpg
    Verve’s lighting control system is all about a wireless solution that uses radio frequencies to control home lights, allowing putting your home lights where ever you wish. The energy harvested from physically moving the switches on Verve’s control panel is enough to transmit a radio signal as far as 300 feet to a central controller. This controller then relays the signals to the individual hardwired lights or outlets. The switch itself does not offer an on or off light unlike some of the other advanced systems but the system is capable of giving you the status of the entire house in a matter of minutes. But what is more impressive is that you can tack the switch to almost any surface and move it without the need to pull wires and rip your walls. It is basically a remote control. Why is this eco-friendly?


    It will save a lot on copper wires and also on labor. But sadly these switches are only for the newly constructed or to be constructed houses. There is no possibility of retrofitting. The total cost for a 3000 square feet house will cost you approximately $3000! This lighting system is part of the Green Dream.
