Pico light switches are designed to work with compatible wireless dimmers, switches, and lamp dimmers within the same lighting control system. They communicate wirelessly, so installers can add control points in locations where running new communication or power wiring may be difficult.

Pico light switches can be mounted on hard surfaces such as drywall or glass, including locations where running new wiring would be difficult. They can also be used as tabletop controls, handheld remotes, or visor-mounted controls, and wallplates can give them the appearance of a traditional wall keypad.

Pico light switches use different button layouts for specific lighting tasks, including raise and lower controls with a favorite preset button, as well as icon-based buttons for straightforward light operation. Four-button versions can provide three preset scene buttons plus Off, helping users adjust multiple lights or shades for activities such as entertaining, relaxing, or brightening a room.

Pico light switches are battery-operated, so they require no external power wiring and can be mounted on a suitable hard surface. They communicate wirelessly with compatible lighting devices, which helps installers add control without running communication cable or cutting into drywall.
