BACKGROUND. The Intelligent Lighting Controller (ILC-100m™) is an ingenious state-of-the art networkable controller for monochrome (single color) Converging Systems FLLA™ luminaries. Unlike traditional LED lighting controllers which simply activate and in some cases dim LED elements to 20% or similar levels with flicker, the ILC-100m™ allows supported LED elements to be dimmed to .001% reliably without flicker and specific dimming levels to be saved and recalled from memory without expensive accessories or complex user interfaces. For accurate low-end dimming, an embedded photometric processor (previously used to generate color printer output within laser printers), permits an expanded low-end dimming range to be achieved (gamma correction) and any dimming level to be easily selected with the simple press of a button and without traditional flicker present with most other systems.

OPERATION. One or more ILC-100m ™ controllers (max 65,025) can be networked to control nearly an unlimited number of LED lighting arrays. A family of DecoraR-style keypads are available to select colors as well as function as simple “exit” control devices. Automation systems and 3rd party lighting panels can operate ILC-100 networks up to 4000 feet away (an unlimited distance using the internet).

EASY SETUP. The controller’s incredibly small size enables the unit to be positioned seamlessly within a soffit, equipment rack, J-Box or control panel. A built-in microprocessor allows easy system programming while the unique CS-Bus™ discovery technology allows one or more keypads to be quickly interfaced to control lighting functions and scenes. Nearly all popular building and home automation systems have developed customized device drivers which enable simple to sophisticated control of scenes and functions. In addition, a family of CS-Bus™ interface adapters are available which enable ILC-100m ™ LED lighting controllers to be connected to nearly any type system using bi-directional IP or serial connectivity!
