The Multi-Room Company Introduces The CentraLite CL24 LiteJet - A Revolution in Affordable Architectural Lighting Control (1/6/2004)

The CentraLite CL24 is a whole house, hard wired architectural lighting control system. The system is similar in functionality to our Elegance lighting control product and offers the end user dimming at every keypad, scenes, remote access, and engraved illuminated buttons.

Structure:

The high voltage relay panel and low voltage master controller are housed in a single 112 x 36 x 10cm enclosure. Weight is approximately 28 kgs. The DEALER cost for a COMPLETE WHOLE HOUSE system including 16 illuminated button wall switches and control panel is under £1900!

Standard Features:

Touch Panel programming with LCD readout, controls 24 lighting loads, over 500 dimming levels, 40 scenes, astronomical clock, additional RS-232 ports for 3rd party integration, additional contact closure inputs and outputs, engraved buttons, 3 phase compatible, simple Cat5 wiring and RJ-45 connections.

Optional Features:

Key fob remote activation. Fan Speed Control, custom button engraving.

What makes it special?

a. The CentraLite CL24 is affordable for the masses. With a dealer cost of under £1900 (less than 1/2 of our Elegance product line which is already the most affordable hard wired lighting control system on the market today) EVERY HOME can have architectural lighting control.

b. The CentraLite CL24 is wired with Cat 5 and all connections are made with RJ-45 connectors. No hard wired lighting control product on the market is as simple to install.

c. Includes 16 illuminated switch keypads with 64 switches (5-6's, 6-4's & 5-2's) and 100 preengraved 'click-on' buttons. These are an ultra slim screw-less faceplate design, with a unique fixing plate system that doesn't even need a back-box.

d. The Programming is accomplished via a touch panel which prompts the user through the programming processor panel, or a laptop with serial connector using a simple Windows(R) based click and drag process.

Installation:

As with all hardwired systems, high voltage circuits are home run from the light fixtures to the relay panel. All Cat 5 keypad (switch wires) are also home run to the central location. No need to wire for 2 way and intermediate switching ever again, because any switch can do anything, anywhere, simply by assigning an address in the software.

Marketing to consumers:

Differentiate yourself among builders in the mainstream housing market by offering an amenity not normally found in this price range. Lighting control used to be only for the wealthy .... not anymore. Lighting control systems save money through energy management, provide additional security by lighting darkened areas or pathways, and enhance lifestyles by providing convenience and adding ambience throughout the home.
