In previous threads Chris has mentioned his 1970's hifi. From memory,
orange
and brown was a popular colour scheme in the 70's so maybe thats why the
orange legends look OK. :) :)

Idratek have changed the design following feedback from UKHA 2003.

Their first showing of the modules had them moulded from GREY plastic. They
have now changed to white which will fit in with the styling of most
traditional homes.

Whilst it would be nice for them to offer a range of styles, the cost of
doing so would probably be prohibitive.

The only unit that I definately DONT like the look of is the Multifunction
Panel. The rounded ends make it look slightly wierd.

On a positive note, the colour branding is ready to bring HA to the masses.
We just need to convince Stelios that the UK is ready for
"easyHA.com" as it
is already in his corporate colours :)

Keith
