        Infrared active pulse technology used on electronic
        controls is a low-power consumption solution.
        The battery-operated electronic models have
        an average lifespan of 350,000 cycles (i.e. 3 to 6 years)
        depending on the frequency of use. The Lithium
        batteries are widely available, affordable and recyclable.
