Aspire RF™ Line of Wireless Lighting Controls Features
Attractive New Color Option
Award-winning devices now available in Alpine White
PEACHTREE CITY, GA., April 22, 2009 – Cooper Wiring Devices, a division of Cooper Industries, has
announced a new color option for its Aspire RF wireless lighting controls product line. Alpine White
(color designation AW) provides an all-white color scheme for all products in the Aspire RF line.
The new Alpine White devices will meet customer demand for an all-white device to match new or
existing white decorator devices. To complete the all white appearance, customers can pair the Alpine
White device with any White Satin screwless wallplate. Aspire RF devices are offered today in three
two-toned colors: Desert Sand (DS), Silver Granite (SG) and White Satin (WS).
“The introduction of the new Alpine White color option demonstrates Cooper’s continued commitment to
delivering products that meet the diverse needs and preferences of our customers,” said Jason Sherrill,
Product Manager at Cooper Wiring Devices. “With this monochromatic color addition, installers can offer
a clean, pure white device to designers and architects while providing homeowners with an ideal retrofit
solution for matching existing devices in the home.”
The Aspire RF Wireless Control System combines the elegance of sophisticated design with the
innovation of intelligent wireless technology, to give homeowners new levels of comfort, control and
style inside and outside the home. It features a full line of switches, receptacles, dimmers, scene control
keypads, remote controls, kits, accessories and screwless wall plates. Any of the products can be
controlled with the press of a single button on a remote control or joined with other devices to create
“events” or “scenes” that offer ambience, convenience, enhanced safety and energy savings.
