Illuminations Lighting Design

AMX and Lutron, the worldwide leaders in control and lighting technology have come together to produce the ALD-H48 lighting interface, a seamless lighting control solution, which offers some of the smartest, most advanced features ever incorporated into residential lighting applications. While each company is individually known for its innovative designs, this synergy has produced a truly revolutionary solution, offering more control choices and design options than ever before. Illuminations Lighting Design is proud to offer the new AMX products and Lutron controls systems in Houston, Austin, San Antonio and throughout Texas.

The ALD-H48 is the heart of an AMX integrated network lighting solution. The programmatic interface to the ALD-H48 appears similar to an AMX native device in that it utilizes a standard AMX command set. When used with Maestro dimmers and switches, a complete NetLinx compatible lighting system is formed.

The ALD-H48 is a TCP/IP connected interface utilizing a Duet based module capable of controlling and configuring the H48 through an internal web interface. The web interface provides control of individual dimmers, creating/recalling scenes or groups and dimmer addressing.

SEAMLESS. PRECISE. ARTFULLY INSPIRED.

AMX and Lutron designed a solution that produces beautiful, artfully inspired lighting that can be controlled with systematic precision. The ALD-H48 not only meets, but exceeds these requirements as the first lighting control solution to incorporate an onboard AMX Duet module. This enables the unit to natively communicate with both AMX master controllers and Lutron system dimmers, switches and keypads seamlessly, right out of the box. The AMX NetLinx master with Duet can receive commands from up to 32 ALD-H48 Interfaces. Each interface supports up to six Maestro buses, each supporting up to eight dimmers/switches. That translates to control of up to 1,536 zones of light from one master.

IMAGINATION IS THE ONLY LIMITATION

While the ALD-H48 is capable of flawlessly executing some of the most intricate lighting program sequences imaginable, installation and programming couldn't be simpler. By using the clear, easy-to-follow Web interface, addressing and setting dimmer parameters can be achieved with pinpoint accuracy. Any number of "scenes" can be created to set the tone or mood. From "Office" to "Home Theater" to "Candlelit Dinner", once a scene has been established, the ALD H48 brings it all together in a fraction of a second.
