“Original” is an innovative series of household wall switches that revolutionizes the conventional design of traditional power switch panels. Unlike typical switches, which often feature a separate structure, this cutting-edge product introduces a seamless, integrated design that elegantly combines the switch and panel into a sleek, flat surface.

Moreover, it employs a sophisticated modular mechanism, allowing for the creation of an impressive variety of functional panels with 118 specifications. This thoughtful design not only streamlines the installation process but also enables users to effortlessly replace the switch panel in just 10 seconds.

In addition to its minimalist aesthetic and user-friendly installation, “Original” perfectly aligns with the contemporary renovation trends of modern homeowners. It adeptly addresses the need for flexibility in space utilization, making it especially advantageous for tenants, short-term rental venues, and dynamic office environments. Consequently, this product offers versatile panel options tailored to suit a range of scenarios, effortlessly adapting to the ever-changing needs of any space.

This innovative product is expertly crafted from highly resilient ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and a specially designed elastic formula. At the heart of its design lies a patented, integrated mechanism that seamlessly combines the switch and panel, revolutionizing the conventional appearance and structure of switches that have remained largely unchanged for the past three decades. Notably, this product caters to the modern consumer's desire for minimalist aesthetics while also introducing a convenient and efficient method for replacement. Users can effortlessly swap out the switch panel without the tedious task of disassembling the frame and switch buttons separately, thus enhancing the overall user experience.

Moreover, the one-piece panel style offers a variety of multifunctional options, including single, double, and triple switches, as well as combinations of switches and sockets. This versatility adeptly addresses the dynamic needs of users, ensuring that it adapts to a range of applications. Importantly, the panel's standardized size of 118 allows for a swift replacement process—achieved in under 10 seconds—when transitioning between different functions and styles.
