Many everyday tasks that seem simple—like turning on a light—can become challenging for elderly individuals or those with disabilities. Small switches, poor lighting, and limited dexterity often lead to discomfort, frustration, or even injury. Switchify is designed to solve this problem through a smarter, safer way to control lights.


This easy-to-install light control kit improves accessibility in the home without electrical work, helping users live more comfortably and independently. With its large, glowing button and gentle tactile feedback, Switchify turns traditional switches into a tool for safety and convenience.


Accessible Light Control for the Visually Impaired

For people who are visually impaired, locating a small light switch in the dark can be a daily struggle. Switchify addresses this with a glow-in-the-dark outer ring powered by a Tritium lighting system. Even in total darkness, users can easily find the button without searching along the wall.


The entire surface of the Switchify button is large and clearly defined, making it easier to touch and press without needing precise hand placement. This is especially helpful for those who rely on touch rather than sight.


By improving visibility and simplifying the switch mechanism, Switchify reduces both stress and risk in common nighttime routines.


Making Daily Tasks Easier for Parkinson’s and Mobility Disorders

Switchify was built with accessibility in mind. For individuals with Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, or motor skill limitations, traditional switches can require more control and finger strength than they can comfortably manage.


The Switchify button responds to a light push and confirms activation with a soft tactile click. This means users don’t need full motor coordination to know their action was successful. With just one press, the light is turned on or off, and the user feels the result immediately.


This design helps reduce repeated attempts and gives people confidence in their daily routines, even during times of reduced mobility or tremors.


Built for Real-Life Challenges Without Professional Help

Installing accessibility tools shouldn’t require tools or expensive help. Switchify mounts directly onto existing light switches using peel-and-stick adhesive. There’s no need for rewiring, drilling, or technical knowledge. It’s ready to use in under a minute.


The system is compatible with both rocker and toggle switches and fits single, double, or triple switch covers. Once installed, the battery lasts up to three years and can be replaced easily. An LED alert signals when the battery is running low, so users are never left in the dark.


The entire unit is made with durability and simplicity in mind—it’s easy to clean, long-lasting, and built for hands of all ages and abilities.


Light Control That Supports Independent Living

Switchify empowers people to manage their home lighting safely and comfortably, no matter their physical or visual limitations. It offers a hands-on solution to a daily need—without adding complexity or cost.


With its glowing button, smooth push response, and effortless setup, Switchify gives people the ability to light their homes confidently and independently. It’s a small change that brings a better quality of life to those who need it most.
