| Unmatched
Performance, Totally Affordable
and Requires NO Master Controller
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mobile, AL,
September 4, 2007—CentraLite
Systems® Inc., an innovative
developer of lighting control and
automation products, today announced
JetStream™, a new wireless
lighting control system that delivers
unmatched convenience and simplicity
while being virtually invisible
in a home or business. The system
is fully expandable and can be integrated
with other automation products such
as thermostats, entertainment systems,
and security equipment.
“We are very excited to introduce
JetStream,” said Diane Davis,
vice president of marketing for
CentraLite Systems. “It’s
extremely innovative and priced
to appeal to the mass market. JetStream’s
technology and rich feature set
will definitely take lighting control
to the next level. It’s so
simple—keypads talk to each
other. No controller is needed.
JetStream is a great product for
the retrofit market but we expect
it to be used in new construction
too. Its low price point makes lighting
control affordable for everyone.”
JetStream
at a glance
JetStream’s state-of-the-art
design allows its intelligent keypads
to broadcast directly to each other.
No master controller is needed.
Professional installation is fast
and easy. Simply replace existing
light switches with new JetStream
dimmers and keypads and the system
is ready to operate in minutes.
JetStream’s LaunchPak ships
with five installation-ready, pre-programmed
dimmers for ‘out-of-the-box’
lighting control in up to five rooms.
Up to 200 devices can be easily
added if fuller coverage is desired
throughout a home or office.
Loaded
with convenience features
JetStream offers a full suite of
dimming and convenience features.
Use lighting scenes and timed events
to simplify daily routines and create
a pleasing environment throughout
the home. Scenes can be designed
for individual spaces, groups of
rooms or the entire house, including
landscape lighting. Bedtime and
home entertainment scenes are especially
popular. JetStream provides 512
dimming levels and the ability to
compose up to 100 lighting scenes
and 50 timed events.
Critical
asset for family safety
JetStream also plays a critical
role in family protection. With
every light on the network addressable,
the system can be triggered to turn
on all house lights in a crisis,
or even flash to signal help. Midnight
pathways are easily created to assist
frightened children, late arrivals
or used for health/fire emergencies.
With the optional car remote, lights
can be controlled from the safety
of your vehicle to generate a bright
walkway into the house and beyond.
Foundation
of conservation program
In addition to the convenience,
beauty and security benefits of
lighting control, JetStream is an
excellent foundation for a comprehensive
energy conservation program for
your home. Installing dimmers throughout
your home lowers energy consumption
and extends light bulb. A huge benefit
for recessed and difficult-to-reach
lighting sources in today’s
homes and offices.
Advantages
of Zigbee and Mesh Networking
JetStream, based on ZigBee®
technology, achieves unparalleled
functionality. When installed, the
system forms a wireless, self-healing
mesh network. Each keypad transmits
commands to its neighbors without
the use of a controller. If one
keypad drops out of the network
for any reason, its neighbors continue
uninterrupted service by rerouting
communication. The network is easy
to expand. Simply install additional
devices for more coverage.
Pricing
and Availability
The JetStream System will be available
in Q4 2007. Mix-and-match individual
components to create a custom JetStream
package or choose the LaunchPak
Starter Kit with five pre-programmed
dimmers and a car remote.
