The type of SwitchLite Privacy Glass™ varies depending on installation needs. “Interior” means that the Privacy Glass units will be mounted in a location where there is no possibility of contact with water.

In all cases, whether for indoor or for outdoor applications, where SwitchLite Privacy Glass™ units are to be installed in a place that is exposed to water, all units are considered “Exterior” units. All “Exterior” units must be properly sealed. On “Exterior” installations, edge protectoirs are used on all four sides unless you plan on glazing panels together.

SwitchLite Privacy Glass™ requires the use of a special power transfer box model S200. This controller allows for the use of virtually any type of switch and easily interfaces with many remote controlled systems.
