Keypads

One of the most important pieces of a lighting control system is the device used to brighten and dim groups of lights. Most manufacturers of lighting control systems offer a variety of keypads.

Although most keypads are designed to mount flush with the surface of a wall, their styles, shapes and sizes vary widely. Some keypads, for example, might hold nearly a dozen buttons; others might contain only four buttons. Some buttons might illuminate when engaged; others might offer no feedback whatsoever.

Make sure the keypad you select is easy for everyone in the family to understand and use.
