Home electrical system: the guide to choosing the perfect one

The light point is the tool that allows you to control the energy in your home, through buttons, functions and sockets of different types and for every use. You can compose it as you like, according to your needs, and you can also implement it with ease. Every element of the electrical system is essential for the correct functioning of the light point. Multifunctionality, convenience and safety are the key words for a compliant electrical system by choosing the components from the various civil series on the market.

What is each electric control used for?

It is important to precisely distinguish the main functions of each element of the light point, in order to create a system that best suits your needs.

The switch is the basic element for turning a lamp on and off from a single light point. If, however, you need to turn a lamp on and off from two light points, for example at the beginning and end of the corridor, the diverter is the control for you. A lamp can then also be turned on and off from three points: in this case you must equip yourself with an inverter, to be used in combination with two diverters.

The button, on the other hand, is the basic element for turning the light on and off using a relay or for ringing the doorbell. If you need to activate multiple functions, such as up-down to raise and lower the shutters, closed-open for an automatic gate, you need to equip yourself with a toggle button or double button. To activate a ringtone, a call or an alarm in the bathroom, the choice must fall on a pull button.

Electrical system to power your appliances?

The most common element is the socket, for powering electrical appliances and small household appliances up to a maximum of 10 Amperes. From 10 to 16 Amperes, you need to equip yourself with a socket instead. The universal socket is the element that powers household appliances or electrical appliances with a German standard and Italian standard plug from 10 to 16 Ampere.

There are different types of socket for connecting the most common devices: the TV socket for connecting the TV to the antenna, the RJ11 socket for connecting the telephone or the internet socket to the local telephone line or ADSL and the USB socket for connecting accessories to the computer.

Electrical system for the most advanced functions?

To the basic elements of your light point, you can add controls that make your electrical system perfect. For example, if you want to regulate the intensity of the light produced, you need to get a dimmer.

Controlling the temperature in every room is also fundamental inside a home. This is why the chronothermostat exists, which allows you to regulate the climate, both for heating and cooling, with daily/weekly programming.

To guarantee safety and protection and avoid the risk of serious damage, day and night, it is essential to have a detector, which signals the presence of anomalies, such as methane leaks, the presence of water, smoke, LPG.

And to see clearly in the event of a blackout, the removable portable torch is the most convenient and efficient solution: always ready for use with a rechargeable and replaceable Ni-MH battery.

At this point you are ready to create your ideal electrical system tailored to your needs: safe and compliant from the box, to the support with plate and controls with the help of a qualified installer.
