How it Works

iLights range of iCAN control products have been carefully designed to meet the needs of all people involved with a project including lighting and interior designers, installers and the final users of the system.

Installation

For those installing our products we have worked hard to ensure that they are straight forward and easy to install. The iCAN network is connected using readily available Cat5 cabling and uses the extremely robust “CANbus” protocol for communicating network messages. The iCAN system also offers RS232 and RS485 for easy integration with AV and other peripheral equipment. A range of iCAN interfaces allows iLight’s cost effective system to form the hub of a smart-home installation, removing the need for additional control systems. Distributed intelligence across the iCAN range also means that the system is easily scalable and unlike many alternative systems, is not reliant on a single central processor.

Design

We relish working with creative teams during the design phase. The exhaustive choice of products and peripherals within the iCAN range will enhance, not limit or constrain the design process. iLight has a comprehensive selection of source controllers that can control virtually any light source including resistive, capacitive and inductive loads, fluorescent 0-10V, DALI and DSI, cold cathode, neon, LED, DMX512 and switched loads. iLight has extensive experience in working with award winning lighting designers, providing the control tools to help them create ground breaking, innovative and inspirational lighting.

Enjoy

At the front end of the system we offer a wide choice of user interfaces in a variety of styles and finishes to match in with individual tastes or themes. iLight offers a custom service for generating bespoke control panels. Our cost effective LCD colour touch screens can import graphics, logo’s or 3D building plans to create unique designs. The iCAN system is software based. It provides the user with immense flexibility and is easy to live with. The configuration and programming software coupled with configurable user interfaces means that the system operation can be easily and conveniently changed as needed. This allows owners to obtain maximum benefit and low cost of ownership from the system during the lifetime of the installation.

Peace of Mind

When installed, operated and maintained correctly, iLight’s product range is designed to be durable and reliable. We take our CE compliance very seriously, utilising both in-house and independent test house to ensure we comply. iLight is ISO90001:2000 accredited and we offer a 30 month standard warranty on all of our products.
