Since its creation, the TV remote has been an amazing convenience. With the remote viewers can now channel surf from their recliners and enjoy the entertainment. This wonderful piece of technology has its downsides. You don’t have to worry about losing the remote. The most frustrating problem for many people is simply not using the remote in the dark.
It is surprising that so many remote controls do not have backlit buttons, considering the popularity of watching TV without lights on and the fact that 75 per cent of Americans have vision impairments. While the average American household has five remote controls with backlighting, nearly 90% of them do not. Many people believe that new televisions include backlit remote controls. Only about 10% of new TVs have a remote with backlighting.
Even backlit remote control are not a perfect solution. They only light the buttons and do not illuminate the text. Backlit remote controls are often marked with small symbols that represent the function of each button. However, backlighting cannot be added to existing remote controls. This leaves almost 450 million remotes unlit.
A new way to illuminate remote controls has been developed for people who want a better TV viewing experience. The pop-up Microlites, nickel-sized lights that attach to remote controls, are designed to illuminate both text and buttons. This patented light, however, illuminates the whole remote control, unlike backlighting.
It is simple to use the pop-up microlites, even for those who have poor vision or enjoy watching movies and television in darkness. There is no other mini light that can illuminate the same surface as it sticks. These lights are extremely useful throughout the house, illuminating keyholes and thermostats, as well as telephones and the backside of radios, televisions, or computers.
