One can also use a remote from inside of one’s car when reaching the gate to switch ON the gate lights or vise-versa.”
The brand ambassadors for Smart Switch are iconic actresses Iranganie Serasinghe and Gayathri Dias who were chosen for their influence and ability to convey the significance of this pioneering Sri Lankan product to all generations living in the country. Smart Switch is now marketed at an affordable and reasonable price and will be available throughout the Island. The journey to invent the Smart Switch first began in 2012 and after much consumer research including one-year of test runs for product enhancement, GRIP was able to provide one-of-a-kind product to the local market and to consumers who value convenience, quality and safety in any product. “Many inquire about the loss of electricity due to the sensor in the Smart Switch but the loss of electricity even when it is on standby is so minimal that it is negligible,” affirmed De Silva, quelling any concerns a potential customer would have regarding the electricity wastage due to the sensor in the holder.
