How does the Lightning SwitchTM work with no batteries?
The Lightning Transmitter converts the mechanical action of pushing its button into enough electricity to send a coded radio frequency signal to the Receiver. Pushing the Transmitter button plucks a piezoelectric device called Lightning — originally developed by NASA and used on the International Space Station. Its Lightning that generates the electricity. Thats why Lightning remote controls never need batteries. In normal home use, they can work for decades and never wear out and never get weaker..
