Parts of a lighting system
Let us first try to outline the various types of components and how to choose them.
The lighting system consists of two parts:

Switches
Living Now series switches are an elegant and modern solution for controlling lighting and electrical appliances in your home. They are equipped with LED lighting that indicates the on or off status, making it easy to identify which switch is on. The switches are among the lighting system parts so there is no need to choose the colour as the covers will then be overlaid.
All switches have a standard composition, compatible with all Bticino Living Now series covers.
