Subsequently, if the purchaser requires the upgrade, all that is required is to connect both sets of cables to control plates and fit processor and dimmer modules in the LPK.
"This enables developers to offer the option of high-tech lighting, without incurring the up-front installation costs," explained Polaron's chief executive Joe Stelzer.
"Even if the purchaser opts for conventional lighting, the property's value is enhanced through being easily converted at a future time." Intelligent lighting controls not only offer the luxury of remote control of various lighting ambiances, but they can also enhance safety and security.
Polaron Lightlink systems can be seamlessly integrated with control systems, data networks and multi-room audio.
The LPK is expected to retail in the UK for only UKP299 + VAT.
It can house an eight-channel Polaron Lightlink dimmer module and a Lightlink Scene Processor module.
Included are six 6 amp single-pole miniature circuit breakers (mcbs) and two 6 amp double-pole mcbs.
Provision is also included for integrated audiovisual/lighting control.
Each load circuit, consisting of a single pendant, group of wall lights or grid of low voltage downlights up to 1100W, is protected by one of the 6 amp mcbs.
Channels 4 and 8 are fitted with double pole mcbs to provide a non-switched protected output for extractor fans, emergency lighting etc.
The structured design of the LPK means that not all circuits have to be converted.
If desired, some circuits may be left with conventional switching.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, Polaron lighting controls include a full range of control devices with standard and custom finishes, including infrared control plates, LCD touch screens and touch plates.
