Luminno Glowaswitch Luminescent Light Switch Plate

LUMINNO GlowaSwitch is a patented light switch plate that uses a state-of-the-art photoluminescent material to glow all night long making locating light switches in the dark effortless and safer. Each plate is paired with a fire retardant foam gasket sealer that insulates the switch hole from air draft to help conserve energy. A convex form makes it visible from afar at any angle. Because the glow material charges with natural and artificial light, it uses no electricity, requires no wiring, and consumes no energy at all. It reinvents and upgrades the century-old ubiquitous light switch plate.
