 Vantage Lighting Control Systems introduces the all new INFUSION SYSTEM. The Vantage InFusion Controller is unlike any other controller on the market today, opening the door to simple lighting control, as well as all aspects of automation. It boasts a built-in Ethernet jack, dramatically faster processor, six times more memory and a built-in USB port. The InFusion Controller is the most powerful automation controller on the market, featuring a dramatically faster processor, 80 times more memory, a built-in Ethernet jack and a USB port. It more than double's the capacity of Vantage's Q Controller, allowing for 120 available wired stations.
Vantage Lighting has long been a leader in lighting automation systems and innovation. Vantage has always found new ways to improve lighting control, and now with the InFusion controller, touch screens, the InFusion software and InFusion integration, Vantage is simplifying the entire automation experience like never before.

The TouchPoint touch screens put the finishing touches on any Vantage job.Vantage's TouchPoint family eliminates the need for outdated, wall-cluttering light switches and endless stacks of remote controls. They provide a simple, impressive way to control your automated home, office or building.
TouchPoint 550
The TouchPoint 550 is a color, active matrix LCD touch screen keypad with a backlit display. The quarter VGA LCD 5.5 inch diagonal display is small enough to keep the area from feeling cluttered but versatile enough to fulfill the needs of almost any application. It is available in handheld and in-wall versions.

The TouchPoint family welcomed two new additions recently; the TouchPoint 890HD and the TouchPoint 1210HD.

- Stereo speakers and condenser microphone
- Automatic Touch-to-Wake power save mode for increased efficiency and energy savings
- Ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness acoording to room lighting
- Ultra-quiet, fan-driven flow through ventilation
A custom-designed touch overlay allows the maximum amount of the LCD's light image to pass through with reduced diffraction, making thse touch screens brighter than any competing LCD touch screens currently available.
InFusion Integration
Envision a home a home that automatically anticipates all of your needs. Just before going to bed, you roll over and touch the "Good Night" button, which turns on the motion activated outdoor lights, arms the security system, closes all the blinds and shades and gently fades off all the lights in the house. A networked home, office, boardroom or classroom can have a variety of subsystems, including window treatments, distributed audio and video, security, heating and air conditioning and lighting. InFusion brings them together in harmony, offering a third-party device library with easy drag-and-drop components, making integration of third-party solutions so much easier.
Distributed Audio With InFusion you can control your personal music collection in every room of your home with nothing more than an elegant touch screen. Your music can also be effortlessly controlled through a handheld remote or wall-mounted control keypad.
Theater Control
Sitting in your home theater, you lightly press the button labeled "Movie" and the shades are drawn, the lights are dimmed, the projection system turns on along with the surround-sound system and the movie starts. InFusion manages all of today's technology and provides complete control to every system in your house.
Climate Control
InFusion integrates seamlessly with temperature controls as well. Always keep your home at your personal comfortable level. Set the house to start warming up just before you have to wake up, or automatically set temperatures back during the nighttime to save on your utility bill. You can even use outside weather information to control aspects of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning inside.
Security
Feel safe and protected in your house or office building by integrating a security system with InFusion. Security cameras can be simply integrated into a Vantage system with InFusion, making it easy for you to monitor your front door or driveway and know who's coming to your house. Incorporating a security system into your Vantage system has never been easier.
Window Treatments
InFusion can manage natural light. Motorized blinds, drapes, shades, shutters, awnings and even windows themselves, can be controlled with a touch of a button. Vantage systems have astronomical time clocks that track sunrise and sunset, so your environment can respond to sunlight year round. Now protect your sun-sensitive carpets, fabrics and artwork, plus maintain privacy and security, while continuing to enjoy the light and view when appropriate.

 Days of having one telephone in the house are gone! With the size of residential homes growing in square footage each year, it is becoming more important to consider a whole house phone system.
Panasonic and Illuminations Lighting Design have joined forces to offer PANASONIC HYBRID PHONE SYSTEMS for both residential and commercial applications. As a one stop shop for lighting and home automation, adding Panasonic to our lineup was a natural progression.
Panasonic advanced hybrid telephone systems are designed to streamline home communications and make a host of advanced features available to each extension of the home. Some of the most notable features of a Panasonic phone system include:
- Off-Premises Call Forwarding
Program the system to forward your calls to your cellular phone or another outside telephone so you don't miss a call. - Single-Line Device Integration
Connect many types of single-line telephone devices such as answering machines, cordless phones, fax machines and computer modems directly to the system without the need for additional cards or modules. There's no need to buy new equipment or incur expensive upgrade costs. - Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
Addition of an optional DISA card provides a great solution for families and businesses members who share one telephone line. Incoming callers hear a message instructing them to dial a single-digit code for the intended party, and the caller is then routed to that person's extension automatically. Each person can field their own calls and have their own answering machine, even though they share the same line. Night ModeAutomatically prevent selected extensions from ringing at night-ideal for children's rooms or a home office. - Toll Restriction
Prohibits unauthorized long distance calling from specified extensions by blocking selected area/exchange codes. - Call Waiting Caller ID System
Display phones can show the name and number of an incoming caller, even if you're on another call. The system can log up to 20 unanswered calls per extension and up to 300 calls system-wide, making it easy for you to return missed calls. - Room-to-Room Intercom
Let's you contact other extensions via an intercom, so you can relay messages throughout your home or office. - Flexible Ringing Assignment
Allows you to decide which phones will ring on each line to help you customize your phone system. - Expand Your New System as Your Needs Grow
Hybrid telephone systems work with standard telephone lines, so you never need to upgrade your phone service when your needs increase. You can easily expand from 3 central office lines and 8 stations to 6 CO lines and 24 stations (KX-TA624) or from 8 CO lines and 16 stations to 12 CO lines and 32 stations (KX-TA1232), with the addition of plug-in cards.
Panasonic advanced hybrid telephone systems are designed to integrate with Panasonic voice mail systems. Some of the most notable features of a PANASONIC VOICE MAIL SYSTEM include: - Live Call Screening or Remote Live Call Screening
Allows you to monitor your calls as they are being recorded into your mailbox, giving you the choice to pick up the call if you wish. You can choose to hear your calls either through your telephone's speaker or handset or, with remote live call screening, from the handset of any cordless phone. - Two-way Transfer
Gives you the ability to record a live conversation directly into another person's mailbox to save time and ensure accurate communication of information. - External Message Delivery
Pre-record a message, specify the phone number to be called and the time and date for the message to be delivered, and relax. Perfect for everything from sending birthday greetings while on vacation to delivering time-sensitive information to a colleague. You can even program in a password for more security and peace of mind. - Enhanced Message Notification
You can be notified of new messages in several different ways: your extension's message lamp will light, your pager will alert you, your pager will display the caller's telephone or intercom number or the system will call a pre-set number to reach you. These notification methods can be combined and programmed so the system can alert you to important messages. - Holiday Service
Program up to 20 custom greetings to play on particular days throughout the year. - Dial By Name
Requests the caller to enter the first 3 or 4 letters of a last name of the person they wish to reach, then transfers the caller to the corresponding extension. - Direct Mail Box Access
With a simple press of the Message Waiting button, mailbox owners can retrieve new messages.

.jpg) Recently, I met with a couple who had just moved to Houston from Southern California. They had moved into a very nice neighborhood with a large home, on a large lot, that had extensive landscaping. They had found our name in the phone book and were entertaining bids from several companies for LANDSCAPE LIGHTING. During the course of my conversation, she asked me a simple question. "What makes your company so special and how do you differ from other landscape lighting companies"? Here is what I told the clients that day ......
Illuminations Lighting Design is a 25 year old company with some of the best lighting designers, technicians and electrician's money can buy. Our client base includes some of the finest and most recognizable names in Texas and across the country. We are known as the guys who do it right!
We evolved into a full service lighting company that does not only landscape lighting but, residential and commercial lighting design, home automation, home theaters, lighting control systems, fine art lighting, cabinet lighting and whole house surge protection. Not only can we design these systems, but install, service and maintain these and other lighting and electrical systems. Illuminations has a war chest of talent like no other company of its size. Specialists, each in their respective fields focus on certain aspects of the project so that no detail is overlooked. As a team, Illuminations Lighting Design can create a total solution.
When Illuminations Design is on a project, we take into consideration not only your exterior lighting, but how that intertwines with your interior lighting design, to provide a total lighting solution. Like music, lighting sets the mood. Not ever home has this harmony, and we are specialists at transforming any home into a lighting masterpiece.
Other landscape lighting companies generally focus on one aspect and cannot attend to any lighting need you may have. So whether you need a plug added in the house, a light for a new painting, surge protection to protect your whole house, a home theater or whole house sound system, you can count on Illuminations Lighting Design to handle those requests.
It was shortly after that meeting, that my proposal was accepted and the work was completed. Here is what the client told me after we were finished ......
I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful job planning and executing the lighting plan for our home and backyard. Our enjoyment of these spaces has been greatly enhanced by your expertise and recommendations. Additionally, I was very impressed by how punctual and in what a timely fashion the work was completed. It was a pleasure working with you and be assured that we will confidently recommend you and Illuminations to our friends. Thank you again.
