BACKGROUND. The Intelligent Lighting Controller (ILC-200b2™) is an ingenious state-of-the art networkable controller for dual channel (WW) luminaries. Unlike traditional LED lighting controllers which simply activate and in some cases dim LED elements, the ILC-200bw™ allows any hue from a palette of any color temperature between the min/max CCT allowed with the LED luminaries (typically 1700K to 8000K) and brightness to be user selected, saved in memory and dimmed to any CCT level reliably without expensive accessories or complex user interfaces. For ease of CCT selection, an embedded color computer (previously used to generate color printer output within laser printers), permits any CCT to be easily selected with the simple press of a button and no special training or knowledge of color science.

OPERATION. One or more ILC-200bw™ 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-400 networks up to 4000 feet away.

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. 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-200bw™ LED lighting controllers to be connected to nearly any type system!
