ILC-400--Intelligent Lighting Controller

Full Color (or Monochrome) LED Lighting Controller

Full Color (using four color RGBW LED strips) or Monochrome LED Controller

the ILC-400 allows any hue (color) from a palette of 16 million colors to be user selected, saved in memory and dimmed to any level reliably without expensive accessories or complex user interfaces. Low-cost single color or full color LED strips are available to complete the installatoin. Up to approximately 40 feet of full color (RGB) lighting control is possible with just a single ILC-100 Controller.

Dual Purpose Lighting Controller.

Motor Integratation. The system can be integrated by system designers into existing products that require triggered operation from a motorized device (which requires using a compatible CS-Bus motor controller linked together on the CS-Bus). An example of this might be an integrated motorized drapery/soffit LED lighting system that could be programmed to trigger to a pre-programmed lighting level when the draperies/blinds are closed. Alternatively, when the blinds/draperies are opened, the LED lighting elements could be automatically triggered to another pre-programmed lighting level.

Standalone Operation. Alternatively, a more traditional LED lighting setup might involve simple integration with a keypad or third-party home automation system, such as those manufactured by Crestron, AMX, Elan Home Systems and others. No expensive dimming systems, ballasts, etc. are required and only simple, low-cost wiring is required to set-up a system.

Built-in Color Computer..

A sophisticated built-in color computer provides color computing capability which is used for color hue selection and level color diming with tri-colored LEDs. Competitive LED controller technology typically can select a particular color hue but cannot dim those elements to full off (or black) without inadvertently ramping through random color sequences which might include typically reds and purples. The ILC-100's built-in color computer solves this problem by eliminating irritating color shifts. And, for ease of color selection by inexperienced first time users, the built-in Intuitive Color Selector Technology (ISCT) permits any hue to be easily selected with a simple press of a button and with no knowledge of color science.

Integration with a Myriad of External Control Devices.

Integration is possible with serial (RS-232-C or RS-485), screen trigger interfaces (STI), dry contact, infrared and even Ethernet (IP) connectivity. The ILC-100 can even be triggered automatically to any preset lighting level when an IMC-100 controlled motor, drapery, projection screen or other motorized device moves, stops, or reaches a particular position.

Nearly Unlimited System Expansion

Unique to the ILC-400 is its communication and control advantages which integrates commercial-grade communications (rather than proprietary standards) and allow for up to 65,025 distinct ILC-100 controllers to be interconnected, reliably controlled and monitored bi-directionally from virtually any distance (up to 4000 feet) using an inexpensive, low-voltage communication bus (using standard CAT5 wiring)!

Two Mounting Options Available

The controller is available as an OEM product without a mounting chassis. In addition, a standalone version mounted in a custom enclosure is also available.
