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.
