Lighting control can enhance the enjoyment and value of your home, add security for peace of mind, and
contribute to savings on your energy bill.
The Home Lighting Control Alliance says that
dimming your lights by 25% saves 20% of the energy used and extends bulb life by 10 times. Dimming your
lights by 50% saves 40% in energy and extends bulb life
by 20 times. HAI systems can automatically set lights to
any percentage, saving you money every time a light is
turned on.
Affordable Modular Lighting Control
HLC is a modular system, so you can easily add rooms or lights anytime, updating as your needs change.
There is no need to run new wires as long as you have standard
residential wiring (120/240V electrical system with a neutral
wire at each switch location). For retrofits or expansion,
simply replace the existing light switch with an HAI "smart" switch.
The HLC product line includes dimmers, switches, remote controls,
and plug-in modules.
HAI's Scene Switch lets you set a lighting scene with the push of one button! Control all lights in a room or area.
Lights may be turned on, off, dimmed, brightened, and set to
four different scenes to provide limitless options for both
security and aesthetic lighting in your home. The buttons on this
switch may be custom engraved so that you may "name" the scene that each button controls.
Scene Switches have an integrated infrared sensor and its buttons may be activated by a remote
control.
Scene Switches can be placed into a table top cradle that plugs directly into
any electrical outlet. This table top cradle allows for convenient control of
your scenes from a bedside nightstand, on desk in a home office, or next to your
favorite chair.
There is a remote control available to activate scenes through the infrared
receiver built into Scene Switches.
A House Status Switch
becomes a master lighting control (when used with an Omni or Lumina controller) that shows
the status for up to eight rooms. If any light is on in
a room, that button is illuminated. Pressing a button on the
House Status Switch will turn all of the lights in that room on or off.
The buttons on this
switch may be custom engraved so that you may "name" the room that each button controls.

Easy to Use
Switches feature true rocker action. Press and hold to brighten or dim. Press up to turn on.

settings at any time without a service call.

About HLC
All HLC products are UL Listed and use
Generation II Universal Powerline Bus (UPB™)
– a digital communications standard for lighting and home control that
ensures superior reliability.
UPB™ has been extensively tested
and researched in residential environments and found to be 99.9 percent reliable.
UPB™ works over existing wires in a home and does not require new wiring.
HLC’s two way performance has been optimized for single family homes on 120/240 volt electrical systems.
HAI does not recommend HLC for three phase 120/208 systems unless all switches and home control systems
are on a single 120 v phase. Although there are three phase repeaters available for UPB™
(the technology used in HLC) HAI does not currently recommend their use.

USING HLC WITH A HOME CONTROL SYSTEM
HLC Products work as stand-alone or with a
Home Control System.
An HAI home control system has the ability to change your light settings by the
time of day, a set schedule, by the triggering of events (including motion), via a telephone call,
Touchscreen, Smartphone, or by a computer connected to the Internet.
Save Money & Energy
Studies show that dimming a light by just 10% can save 10% of electricity and double the life
of the bulb. HAI home control systems can automatically set lights to turn on at 90%, saving
money and energy any time a light
is turned on.
Your HAI system can automatically turn off all of the lights in the house when you leave
in order to lower your electric bill.
