Transform your home with sophisticated lighting control that adapts to your lifestyle, offering one-touch scenes, automated scheduling, and seamless integration with your entire smart home system.
Intelligent Lighting Features
Multi-Button Keypads
Replace traditional light switches with elegant, customizable keypads that control multiple lights, scenes, and even non-lighting functions from a single location. Control4 keypads feature backlit buttons with engraved labels that identify each function clearly, while maintaining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that complements any décor. Program buttons to control individual fixtures, activate whole-room scenes, or trigger multi-room sequences, giving you sophisticated lighting control without pulling out your phone.
- Customizable button functions – Each button controls lights, scenes, shades, music, or any connected device
- Engraved custom labels – Personalized button text identifies each function clearly, even in the dark
- Backlit operation – Soft LED illumination makes buttons visible at night without being intrusive
- Multiple configuration options – Available in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8-button layouts to suit any space
- Aesthetic finishes – Choose from colors and materials that match your switches and outlets
- LED feedback indicators – Visual confirmation shows which lights or scenes are currently active
- Whole-home integration – Control lighting in other rooms or activate arrival/departure scenes from strategic locations
- Replaces standard switches – Fits in existing switch boxes for easy retrofit installations
Lighting Scenes
Create the perfect ambiance for any activity with pre-programmed lighting scenes that adjust multiple fixtures to predetermined levels instantly. A single button press transforms your space from "Entertaining" with bright, welcoming light to "Movie Time" with dimmed, focused illumination, or "Bedtime" that gently reduces lighting throughout your home. Control4 makes it effortless to design, modify, and activate scenes that enhance how you live in each space throughout the day.
- One-touch activation – Single button controls dozens of lights across multiple rooms simultaneously
- Time-based automation – Scenes automatically adjust throughout the day to match your routine
- Customizable intensity – Each fixture set to the perfect brightness level for the activity
- Pathway lighting scenes – Illuminate safe routes through your home for nighttime navigation
- Welcome and goodbye scenes – Arriving home or leaving triggers appropriate lighting throughout the house
- Seasonal adjustments – Modify scenes as daylight hours change without reprogramming
- Guest-friendly presets – Simple scene names like "Dinner Party" or "Relax" make operation intuitive for anyone
- Unlimited scene creation – Design as many custom scenes as needed for your lifestyle
Panelized Lighting Control
Future-proof your home with professional-grade panelized lighting systems that provide centralized control and unprecedented flexibility for years to come. Unlike traditional wiring where each switch directly controls specific lights, panelized systems allow any button to control any light through software programming, making changes and additions simple without rewiring. This infrastructure must be planned during the construction or major renovation phase, as it requires dedicated low-voltage wiring and central equipment panels that are impractical to retrofit later.
- Ultimate flexibility – Reprogram any button to control any light or scene without touching wiring
- Centralized dimming – Professional-grade dimmers in equipment room eliminate buzzing and ensure smooth performance
- Easy future modifications – Add new scenes, reassign buttons, or accommodate room changes through software
- Higher fixture capacity – Support significantly more lights and higher wattages than standard dimmers
- Load monitoring – System tracks power consumption and alerts you to potential electrical issues
- Emergency override – Manual controls at the panel ensure access to lighting during system maintenance
- Scalable architecture – Start with essential rooms and expand the system as budget allows
- CRITICAL: Plan during construction – Requires star-wired low-voltage cabling from switches to central panel, making pre-wiring essential before drywall installation
Custom LED Lighting
Go beyond traditional fixtures with custom LED installations that transform architecture into art through cove lighting, under-cabinet illumination, and accent features. Control4-integrated LED systems provide full color tuning, dynamic effects, and precision dimming that highlights architectural details, artwork, and design elements while creating ambiance impossible with standard lighting. From subtle white color temperature adjustments to vibrant RGB color-changing effects, custom LED lighting adds drama and sophistication to any space.
- Tunable white technology – Adjust color temperature from warm candlelight (2700K) to cool daylight (6500K) to match time of day or mood
- RGB and RGBW options – Full-spectrum color control creates vibrant accents or themed lighting for special occasions
- Architectural integration – Cove lighting, toe-kick illumination, and recessed channels hide fixtures while highlighting design
- Under-cabinet task lighting – Provide shadow-free illumination for kitchen counters and workspaces
- Artwork and display lighting – Precisely positioned LED strips showcase collections without heat damage
- Outdoor accent lighting – Weather-resistant LED systems highlight landscaping, architectural features, and pathways
- Circadian rhythm support – Automated color temperature shifts throughout the day support natural sleep-wake cycles
- Smooth dimming to zero – Fade completely to black without flickering or stepping, unlike many standard LEDs
