System design types
Centralized (Panelized Lighting)
Centralized lighting systems require that all electrical wiring
is first routed from the circuit breaker to a centrally located
Control4 panel (or panels) that contains load control modules.
These panels are typically located in an equipment closet or
utility room. Electrical connections from the centralized load
modules are wired directly to each light or load. Instead of
traditional switches and dimmers in each room, all switching and
dimming is performed by modules mounted in the centralized
panel. Control over each light or load is achieved using elegant
keypads and touch screens, placed throughout the home or
business. Wired versions of the keypads and touch screens are
wired back to the centralized panel using low-voltage wiring.
Recommendations
Centralized lighting systems are ideal for new construction
projects. They can be used in significant remodeling projects
where there is open-wall access throughout, but substantial
changes to electrical wiring are required. Centralized lighting
systems are the solution of choice for clients who want to
eliminate wall clutter (multiple switches in each room) and
replace it with a single elegant keypad. They are also the ideal
choice for larger residential and commercial lighting projects.
