BACKGROUND. The Intelligent Lighting Controller (ILC-460™) is an ingenious state-of-the art DMX decoder customized for targeted 3rd party constant current LED luminaries without DMX functionality. Unlike traditional/low-cost DMX decoders which typically support a single luminaire with a single pre-programmed DMX personality (RGBW with no gamma curve dimming for instance) and only a short distance away from the decoder, and without any built-in color computer e and in some cases dim LED elements, the ILC-400™ allows any hue from a palette of over 16 million colors to be user selected, saved in memory and dimmed to any level reliably without expensive accessories or complex user interfaces. For ease of color selection, an embedded color computer (previously used to generate color printer output within laser printers), permits any hue 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-400™ 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-400™ LED lighting controllers to be connected to nearly any type system!
