Adding Centralized Lighting to your project

Use the System Design view to add dimmable, non-dimmable, and 0-10V lights.

• Dimmable light—Use for any line-voltage dimmable light. Connect only to an 8-Channel Dimmer.

• Non-dimmable light—Use for non-dimmable lights including non-dimmable CFLs and fluorescents. Connect to an 8-Channel Relay or 8-Channel Dimmer if the wattage is low enough.

• 0-10V light—Use for 0-10V lights (fluorescent lights and LEDs). Connect to an 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer and an 8-Channel Relay at the same time).

Ensure that a project has been created using Virtual Director and rooms have been added. Refer to the Control4 training or the Centralized Lighting Quick Start Guide on the dealer portal for details.

To add a Centralized Lighting device:

1. To add the drivers, see “How to add devices to a project”. Ensure that the Light drivers are added to the project tree (see the next step).

2. Start Composer Pro and connect to a Director.

3. Click System Design.

4. In the Items pane, click the MyDrivers tab > Light V2 > Dimmable Light (Panelized), Non-Dimmable Light (Panelized), or 0-10V Light (Panelized) to add the lights to the project tree.

5. (Optional) Rename the lights to something meaningful in the room, for example, “Overhead Lights.”

Next, you need to configure the light’s properties.
