Leading lighting control manufacturer, Helvar, will be showcasing its latest range of home lighting control systems, with its 458 Dimmer taking centre stage, at ISE 2009.

The eight channel inductive 458 Dimmer, complete with LCD display and intuitive cursor control, comes in a compact, pre-wired, wall-mountable unit for maximum convenience and versatility. Exceptionally popular with lighting designers and installers, the 458 is perfectly suitable for use within intelligent home lighting control systems.

The 458 can accommodate a range of user control interfaces, including push button, rotary, sensors and touch panel controllers, contributing to its huge adaptability.

As Steve Buckley, UK sales manager at Helvar explains, it’s the simplicity of the 458 which has created such interest in the product:

“The 458 has set a new standard in dimmer design for lighting control systems. As well as precise levels of control and the variety of atmospheric scenes that can be created, it is hugely versatile and simple to operate, allowing homeowners to enjoy simple and convenient, effective and efficient central lighting control. The 458 offers high performance in a straightforward, reliable package.”

The 458 is sure to benefit from Helvar’s renowned build-quality and reliability and has a number of features that set it apart from comparative products in the marketplace:

8 dimmable channels rated at 10A, with a total dimmer capacity of 40A
HF Ballast control option (1-10V, DSI, PWM)
Multiple networking capacity
LCD display with intuitive cursor control for basic configuration and control
Modular mechanical design for easy installation and swap-out

Alongside the 458, visitors to the Helvar stand will also see its popular LCD TouchPanel – a full colour 3.5” high resolution touch screen that offers first-class display quality combined with attractive looks. The built-in interface offers the user a configuarable background image and button design and a range of fascia plate finishes are available to ensure harmony with any interior design scheme.

Also on display is the DIGIDIM 4 – a cost-effective, out-of-the-box lighting control solution, that is simple to install, easy to operate and versatile in application.
