When repairs are started at home, the last thing they think about is the location of the switches, and indeed everything that is connected with them. Meanwhile, if you think about their proper location in advance, and it’s not difficult to do this, then your life will be much more convenient and comfortable.
General rules
Most conveniently, if the switch from the doorway is located at a distance of 15 cm, because when a person gets into any room, then first of all he will try to find a way to turn on the light. From the floor, the switch can be located at a height of about 1 meter. If we recall the layout of apartments of Soviet buildings, then the switch was always located at about head level, which is not very convenient. First of all, it is inconvenient for children, because because of their growth, they simply do not reach the key, they are always forced to ask adults to do this, or to come up with ways to get to it.
When the switch is at the level of the lowered hands, it is much more convenient for both adults and children. It will also be more convenient if the light turns on after pressing the top of the key to understand this, it’s enough to think at least once about what you are doing at the subconscious level when you are going to turn on the light.
It will be more convenient if the switch is located on the side of the door handle, when leaving the room with one hand you will open the door and with the other turn off the light.
In the event that you have several light sources installed in one room at once, it will be much better if each of them has its own switch, but with several buttons.
When choosing switches, their location and quantity, you should also consider the purpose of the room. For example, in the bedroom, if the lamps are located on either side of the bed, it is best to do for each of they have a separate switch, it is convenient both from the practical side and taking into account the comfort of those who sleep on her.
