Plan cable pathways and a serviceable power location for the centralized lighting equipment, allowing appropriate runs to the 48V bus supply, in-wall linear lighting, and keypads. Place wired keypads where users naturally enter or occupy the space, and coordinate their locations with framing, drywall, tape-light channels, and access for installation and future service.

In-wall centralized lighting can integrate with existing lighting controls through wired keypads and centralized bus power, supporting upgrades that use existing wiring in many retrofit projects. When connected to a compatible smart home system, it can coordinate lighting scenes with shades, music, security, and other connected devices through keypad, app, or voice control.

When choosing in-wall centralized lighting, compare wired keypad requirements, centralized-lighting compatibility, bus power needs, button configuration, backlit engraving, and the ability to control lighting scenes or other connected functions. For new construction and retrofit projects, also consider whether the system can use existing wiring, whether the keypad supports the desired number of buttons, and how its finish fits the room’s design.

In-wall centralized lighting connects wired keypads to a central system, allowing installers to organize and control multiple lighting zones from one interface. Users can recall scenes, adjust dimming levels, and coordinate lights across rooms for activities such as entertaining, watching a movie, or leaving home.
