GARLAND, TX. (May 29, 2001)- Rivaling the features and capacity of larger and costlier dimming systems, MultiSet and MultiSet Pro from Lightolier Controls provide stylish, flexible and highly economical multi-scene dimming for commercial and residential installations.

The MultiSet and MultiSet Pro system of dimmers and master controls provide 5 or 13 lighting scenes with up to 60,000 watts of dimming capabilities. Both systems are designed to be easy to install, easy to program and easy to use. Standard junction boxes and 3-wire technology allows fast installations with a single “purple wire” that connects the master control station to the dimmers. This dedicated line voltage wire allows up to 30 MultiSet/MultiSet Pro dimmers and master control stations to be interconnected. This system provides total design flexibility with the choice of 10 different load types including fluorescent, electronic Low Voltage, non-dim and 3-speed fan controls.

Pre-setting lighting levels is a simple, three-step process with MultiSet and MultiSet Pro. A touch of the "scene" button on the master control station allows the user to adjust each dimmer to the desired lighting level. Then, a touch of the "set" button on each dimmer sets the desired lighting level for that fixture. When the "scene" button is touched again, the lighting in the entire room adjusts to the preset levels selected.

Elegant fade rates can be easily programmed for each dimmer and each scene. MultiSet allows programmed fade rates from 3 to 15 seconds while MultiSet Pro increases the range from 1.5 seconds to 1 hour. MultiSet and MultiSet Pro master keypads are available with a built-in infrared receiver to accept commands from an optional Lightolier hand-held remote control. Custom engraving of control buttons is also an available option.

Designed for schools, conference rooms, board rooms, restaurants, banquet rooms, houses of worship and residences, MultiSet and MultiSet Pro can cover a majority of day-to-day dimming needs. When compared to more expensive systems, MultiSet can maintain the integrity of the project while allowing more time for lighting design since spec time is shorter.

Designed to enhance the style and functionality of any décor, MultiSet and MultiSet Pro put advanced dimming capabilities within the reach of virtually any budget.
