Dixon Weinstein is a fan of spOre's illuminated doorbell buttons because of the drama they create. They “elevate the sense of arrival,” Dixon says, “adding a touch of ceremony to a visitor's entrance.” The buttons are light-emitting diodes that consume less than a watt of power and are manufactured with a satin-aluminum finish in amber, blue, green, red, and white. spOre, 206.624.9573; www.sporeinc.com.
