Lighting System Design Types

There are many ways in which a Crestron lighting control system can be organized. Construction type, client requirements, architectural restrictions, and many other factors determine the best solution. In general, retaining Crestron control design flexibility produces the most reliable results.

Wireless Systems

The groundbreaking Crestron infiNET wireless technology provides reliable 2-way communications throughout a home or commercial structure without the need for physical control wiring. Crestron infiNET products offer a unique solution for retrofit projects. By replacing existing controls with infiNET switches and dimmers, provisions for automatic shutoff and overall control can be implemented with minimal changes to the existing wiring.

Employing a 2.4 GHz mesh network topology, every infiNET device functions as an RF repeater, increasing effective range and reinforcing the complete network by providing multiple redundant signal paths within the mesh network. Adding more infiNET devices or repeaters to the network effectively increases the range, strength, and reliability of the network.

Advantages of RF wireless control start with reduced capital and operating expenses. Wireless control can save as much as 30 to 40 percent on installation and material costs compared to a wired control system, making this option attractive for retrofit as well as new construction. Installation costs are reduced because RF devices can be replaced one to one without involving control wiring.
