Control4’s new lighting solutions integrate rich support of new LED and dimmable fluorescent technology to deliver discreet control over residential and commercial lighting systems. Control4, supplier of IP-based home automation systems, has announced the arrival of Control4 Wired Keypads along with its new Control4 Panelized Lighting Solution. Designed to provide lighting control combined with seamless integration into Control4 automation systems, this new solution enables one-touch control of entertainment, security, HVAC and more. The Control4 panelized lighting solutions deliver a robust, yet simplified, lighting infrastructure to environments where standard, in-wall wireless switches and dimmers aren’t ideal due to aesthetic or construction requirements. The Control4 Wired Keypads (pictured) add style and elegance to custom lighting installations for homes and businesses. A Euro-style square (UK) keypad is available in 2, 3, and 6 button configurations, and a Decora-style (US) keypad comes with a completely customizable button kit. Dealers will have the ability to simply pop in keycaps to create multi-button keypads of varying configurations to personalize the functionality and design that best aligns with their customers’ needs. Both Euro and Decora-style keypads offer backlit buttons and optional personalized engraving. The Decora version also features light sensors to automatically adjust the keypad backlight and status LED brightness based on the ambient light in the room. The new Control4 Panelized Lighting Solution incorporates the latest residential and commercial lighting advances and enables complete, discreet control over whole-home and commercial lighting systems via the new sophisticated keypads and touch screen interfaces, rather than the traditional collection of electrical load-bearing switches on every wall. The new 8-channel, Control4 Adaptive Phase Dimmer module includes automatic, adaptive phase control technology to support new technologies such as dimmable fluorescent, CFL and LED sources as well as legacy light sources such as incandescent, halogen, and low voltage. The Control4 Panelized Lighting Solution effectively controls LED lighting loads, which are rapidly replacing incandescent and halogen lights as an energy-saving alternative. www.control4.com
