:: Lighting Control
Discover the advantages of home lighting control:

  • Control and Monitor Lighting


  • Connect dimmers and switches to Master Controls so you can turn lights on and off from Master Controls located throughout your house.


  • Increase Security


  • In emergencies, push ALL-ON button to instantly illuminate all home lights. Or, integrate your lighting and security systems to increase your peace of mind.


  • Save Energy


  • A glance at the Master Control shows which lights are on. Turn all lights off at the touch of a button.


  • Create a Path of Light


  • Simply press one or more Master Control buttons to light a pathway though your home or office.


  • Consolidate Switching


  • Sleek Master Controls reduce the number of switches on your walls for a clean attractive appearance.


  • SECURITY


  • Lighting control can make a home safer by automatically turning on landscape and security lighting each night. An astronomical time clock automatically adjusts for changing seasons, as well as for daylight savings time. Lighting control also increases peace of mind by providing homeowners with the ability to turn all lights on instantly using a single button on a Keypad. When combined with a home control system the lighting control can automatically memorize a home's actual lighting usage patterns, which can be replayed when the homeowner is away. This unique feature allows for a realistic appearance of activity that standard timers cannot achieve. Lighting can also be connected to the home's security system. In the event of an alarm, interior lights can turn on, illuminating a safe exit, while exterior lights can flash, drawing immediate attention.


  • CONVENIENCE


  • Each light in a home can be controlled from any keypad or remote control, providing instant access to all areas of the home and landscape. This eliminates the tedious task of setting the home lighting just right for daily activities, bedtime, or special occasions. When most lights are off, one button on a Keypad can create a "path of light" to softly light the way to another room, allowing for late-night trips to the bathroom or kitchen without fumbling for switches in a dark hallway. And monitoring lighting in individual rooms or areas throughout a home requires no more than a quick glance at a Keypad's discrete status LEDs.


  • IMPROVED AESTHETICS


  • Lighting control gives homeowners the power to enhance the beauty of their home and decor with an endless variety of customized room and whole-house lighting scenes. One button dims the lights for a soft romantic dinner while another button lights the house for a festive party. Keypads provide a clean, elegant look on the wall by combining the functions of many standard switches and dimmers into a single control. Contrast the elegant simplicity of a single Keypad to the large bank of switches often found at the front door.
