Alternatives for light control:

Infra red solution
L
N
Good for controlling a light from at least 2 different

locations in the same room.
An emitter (remote) + a receiver (wall-mounted),
including a switch mechanism.
With Infra-red technology, the receiver must see the
emitter in order to capture the I-R beam correctly
Application: Residential & small office

Main advantage:
control the light(s) without moving
(from the sofa, seniors, disabled people.)

RF system
L
N
Principle:
One RF emitter and one (or more) RF receivers
are associated
Each receiver can be controlled by several emitters
Each emitter can control several receivers
ON/OFF, Dim Up/Down, Shutter control
Application:
R
E
Residential & small offices

Renovation (limited number of wires)
Main advantage:
Control of light through walls
Control of several light circuits
Control of scenes or scenarios.
Wide range of receivers (mobile
socket outlet, receiver for ceiling,
in walls)
Some Can be mixed with IHC devices

Scenes or scenarios
What are they?
In lighting, a scene adapts the lights to fit our daily life, to
make it easier, and more comfortable.
Examples of scenes at home:
I'm leaving home" which switches off all the lights (even
closes shutters)
No need to go to all the rooms in the house to switch off
the lights one by one
I'm coming home" which could switch on the hall, living
room and kitchen lights.
"I'm watching TV" which switches off or dims
the lights in that area
I'm having dinner" which can create an

KNX System or LON field-bus
System principle:
Intelligent components are connected together (pushbuttons, touch panels, output modules,)
A software allows the creation of the dimming function
For all loads (except FLC)

Applications: Medium to large size buildings
(and high end residential)
Main advantage:
Flexibility of programming
Can manage a large quantity
of devices such as lighting,
shutters, heating,
