Specifying Crestron Lighting Systems
Centralized Architecture
Product Families: Architectural Dimming, Power Switching, Green Light Express
x High-voltage wiring home-runs from many rooms to a central Crestron panel
x Lights are controlled with keypads and touchpanels located anywhere
In a centralized system all the high-voltage lighting, motor, fan, and switch circuits draw power directly from modules in a Crestron
Green Light enclosure. Wired or wireless user interfaces can be placed throughout the building to control the various circuits. A
centralized design simplifies the high-voltage wiring through a “home-run” infrastructure in which each lighting circuit is connected
directly to the module within the Crestron enclosure.
The major benefit of a centralized architecture is the ability to program the user interfaces to control any load connected to the system.
This differs from traditional distributed infrastructure, whereby each circuit is controlled locally via the in-wall dimmer or switch.
Enabling load control through programming enables multi-point control as well as the ability to change how the system functions
through future updates. In addition to reducing wall clutter, multiple circuits can be controlled via a single button press, simply recalling
presets for different room configurations, events or atmospheres.
Centralized systems are appropriate for applications such as lobbies, hallways, parking garages, stadiums, and auditoriums.
