Now here’s an interesting switch!
Lamps can add to your home’s ambience, yet be awkward to switch on and off. Why not have a light switch that controls all the power points the lamps are plugged into? You can have one handy switch to control all the lamps, or use a labelled multiple button switch to control each one separately. In large rooms, you can even have two sets of switches to turn lights on or off from different locations.
Get the point!
Today, phone and data points have become an essential feature of every home. Whilst reception on cordless phones has improved, you can’t go past the clarity and security of the ‘hard wired’ option. Today, most homes have more than one computer. Data points can therefore be used to connect all the computers, through a hub, to one printer. For truly flexible ‘connectivity’, all data, phone and TV sockets should be connected through a StarServe system. 
It pays to be connected
Most homes now have a TV socket connected to an external antenna to give them access to a crystal clear picture. Now you can also incorporate other handy connections on the same plate; for instance, a Pay TV socket or Audio socket. These sockets are your connection to the hidden wires from your entertainment system to the speakers, antennas and Pay TV sources.
The Powertainment unit provides power points as well as TV sockets.  |
Scene control
To control the mood of an environment and create scenes, ask about the advantages of a C-Bus Network installed in your home. With a simple press of a button or touch screen, you can dim lights, close curtains and turn on your entertainment system. 
The audiovisual advantage
A Clipsal StarServe Home Network expands on basic home wiring to let you network TV, phone and computer systems throughout the house. It’s easy, convenient, and now available at a surprisingly affordable price.
Energy Saving Tip!
Most of the time you don’t need full brightness, use a dimmer and save!
