Do you want sophisticated and affordable lighting control in your home?

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.

With HAI Lighting Control (HLC) anyone can experience all of the benefits of a sophisticated lighting control system that is affordable and retrofitable.

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.

Affordable Modular Lighting Control

• Dimmers and Switches: Replace traditional light switches with ones that have attractive, back-lit buttons putting lighting control at your finger tips. These switches work over existing house wiring for easy installation in renovations, retrofits, and upgrades.
  
  
• Lamp Module: Control any lamp up to 300 watts, including setting scenes with it. Just plug a lamp into the lamp module and the lamp module into an electrical outlet.
  
  
• Appliance Module: Control loads up to 15 Amps, general purpose, 1/2 horsepower, including setting scenes with it. Just plug an appliance into the appliance module and the appliance module into an electrical outlet.
  
  
• Scene Switch: 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.
  
  
• House Status Switch: When used with an HAI Home Control System this master lighting control 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.
  
  
• Load Control Module: The HLC Load Control Module controls the power consumption of high wattage loads such as pool pumps and hot water heater using UPB™.
  
  

HLC Matches Your Style!

Most HLC switches are available in White (WH), Ivory (IV), Almond (AL), Light Almond (LTA), Brown (BR), Grey (GR), and Black (BL) colors.

LED indicator lights can be programmed to glow Blue, Red, Magenta, or turned off entirely. Custom laser engraved buttons are available for both the Scene and House Status Switch.

Most HLC switches and dimmers accommondate standard Decora-style Wallplates, to give you unlimited options:

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

Your HAI system can automatically turn off all of the lights in the house when you leave in order to lower your electric bill.

HAI offers Advanced Lighting Control (ALC) Hardwired Lighting Control switches as a special order item.

Advanced Lighting Control (ALC) is intended for installation in homes, which have been pre-wired for installation of ALC system products. Omni family and Lumina family home control systems control lights and appliances by sending commands over the ALC signal wiring to ALC Switch Modules.  ALC Switch Modules communicate with the HAI home control system over low voltage signal wire. They are two-way devices, so the controller always knows the actual status of the switch.  Additionally, any ALC switch may be used to set scenes by triggering macros in the HAI home control system.

An ALC branch cable (twisted-pair 20 to 24 gauge) must be present at each location. Additionally, an uninterrupted source of 120 VAC must be present at each Relay, Dimmer, Program, and 4 Button Scene switch location and a 3 conductor (20 to 24 gauge) cable for each ALC Auxiliary Switch for dedicated multi-way switching applications.

We have worked with other companies, known as Connectivity Partners, to ensure that their lighting products, which include Z-Wave™ based devices, Zigbee®, RF, hardwired, and others, will work with our products.
