Programmable Lighting Control System Manchester CT
With conventional wiring, you turn on the lights by flipping a wall-mounted switch that completes a 110-volt electrical circuit. But if you want to have the same switch activate a floor lamp at the other end of the room in Manchester, or even several lights at the same time, your only recourse is to pull new cable and rewire the circuit.

Programmable Lighting Control System
By Scott Gibson .
With conventional wiring, you turn on the lights by flipping a wall-mounted switch that completes a 110-volt electrical circuit. But if you want to have the same switch activate a floor lamp at the other end of the room, or even several lights at the same time, your only recourse is to pull new cable and rewire the circuit.
In a programmable lighting control system, the wall switch is replaced with a keypad that can activate an overhead light, a receptacle for a floor lamp, or even a set of motor-driven window shades. A simple software change allows the same switch to control a completely different set of electrical lights or fixtures, all without rewiring.
The key to the system is separating the keypad from the 110-volt current. To do so, the keypad sends a message to a system controller over low-voltage Cat-5 cable. The system controller then tells a lighting controller to send current to the appropriate fixture or fixtures.
Programmable systems can activate carefully orchestrated lighting scenes. One might be a "dinner" setting, in which under-cabinet lights in the kitchen go to 10 percent of capacity, an over-the-table light in the dining room goes to 30 percent, and the over-sink fixture drops to zero. The system is easy to fine-tune, so light levels can be raised or lowered at any fixture, and new lighting scenes added as they are needed.
