simplify complex lighting control

Dynamic lighting is paramount in any experience. Today’s complex environments, whether residential or

commercial, mean that both the selection and design of the lighting control system is as critical as the

lighting design itself. While Vantage’s control and automation platform seamlessly supports the integration

of multiple applications, lighting control is at its core. The fundamental tenets of our lighting control

philosophy:

Unlimited Lighting Scenes – No restriction on the scale of scene implementations.

Dimming Technology – Support of both forward and reverse phase source dimming requirements as well as low voltage
0-10VDC, PWM and DMX control. From incandescent to LED light sources, Vantage systems are adept at controlling the widest range
of light sources. Dimmer capacity is designed for both residential and commercial applications.

Global Offering – Products meet UL and CE requirements in both the United States and DIN form factors.

Architecture for Low Latency and Scalability - Immediate control response and status feedback over multiple
circuits and devices. Centralized, distributed wired or wireless and hybrid dimming architectures all programmed through one
software based tool. This gives great flexibility with initial system design and future system changes and upgrades.

Vantage is a powerful solution with the inherent technical features and ease of both programming and

installation critical to successful delivery of lighting control solutions in the luxury space.

 the total control experience

A complete experience is multi-dimensional, so Vantage has developed its InFusion control and automation

platform around a multi-system native solution with the ability to integrate best-of-category products from

different manufacturers. This approach simplifies system design, installation, programming and ongoing

support while ensuring a consistent user experience across all applications. In addition to Lighting Control

a Vantage system offers solutions for:

design for the future

A control and automation solution is a significant investment that will be expected to perform for many

years. A key element of system selection is the ability of that system to adapt and scale to meet the

changing requirements of a luxury space. Whether for a retrofit, remodel or renovation project, a multi-use

space or new construction, the Vantage InFusion system has been designed with future capabilities in mind.

tread lightly - sustainable design

As conservation and sustainable design become increasingly important in the construction and renovation

industries, consumers are asking more questions about ways to be friendlier to the environment as well as

preserve energy. Owners, designers and builders face a unique challenge to meet demands for new and

renovated facilities that are accessible, secure, healthy and productive while minimizing their impact on

the environment. High performance buildings deliver in many ways including better living environments,

increased comfort and increased market value. Vantage technologies enable designers to deliver

automated environments that bridge the gap that can sometimes exist between the twin objectives of

sustainability and liveability.
