ELITE SCREENS PRESENTS ATTRACTIVE NEW IN-WALL CONTROL SWITCHES FOR ITS ELECTRIC SCREENS

 

CERRITOS, Calif., July17, 2009 — Elite Screens, Inc. an innovative company that specializes in affordable high quality projection screens, today announced an attractive new in-wall switch for its lines of electric projection screens made for automatic, “hidden” or disappearing projection screens for residential and commercial installations.
            Users or systems installers can simply place the wall switch next to a doorway entrance, near the projector, or anywhere else in a room, for a stylish and convenient way to bring a projection screen down from the ceiling or retract it, with a press of a finger.
            “Our new in-wall switches are elegant and add a subtle design component to a state-of-the-art home theater or conference room,” said Dave Rodgers, marketing manager of Elite Screens, Inc. “They are unobtrusive and match today’s sleek light switches, for a consistent look throughout the room.”
 
            Elite’s new wall switch uses a low voltage CAT-5 Ethernet connection for easy integration with any of Elite’s wall/ceiling electric projection screens or Elite’s Kestrel self-standing electric screen.  The switch module is also interchangeable with three-way switches for users who want a different look than a standard switch plate. The switch comes in either black or white, starts at $38, and carries Elite’s standard two-year accessories warranty.
