Set the mood for Valentine's Day or any other special event with INSTEON-compatible lighting control. Using your home's existing wiring, these products connect in seconds for whole-house mood lighting at the press of a button.
Basic One-Button Mood Lighting
 Whether you're automating your dining room, your bedroom, or your entire house, there's no easier way to get started than with the INSTEON Lamp Scene Lighting Starter Kit, which not only contains two plug-in modules that turn lamps into instant dimmers but also includes everything you'll need to set up an INSTEON network in your home. Just press a couple of buttons to link each LampLinc module to the included controller. The ControLinc will turn on and dim lamps individually or turn on multiple lamps in scenes that can include every light in your home. Each connected lamp can fade on at a different rate, and each can come on to a specific brightness level to help you to set the perfect mood for your evening. You can include more INSTEON LampLinc Dimmers to meet your needs. You can also connect fans, fountains, or other appropriate appliances to each scene by plugging them into INSTEON ApplianceLinc modules, which should be used for non-dimmable lights. You can even control switched lights with your ControLinc. Read on to learn how.
Expand Your INSTEON Lighting Control
Once you've set up your INSTEON Wireless Lighting Starter Kit, you can expand your INSTEON network to include switched outlets in any room. The network's Access Points, which are plugged into your home's two electrical phases, will ensure that your commands are received anywhere in the house by repeating signals over radio-frequency waves as well as through your home's existing wiring.  The INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer wires in like a standard switch with an additional connection to the neutral wire. This attractive dimmer controls loads up to 600 watts (a 1000-watt version is also available), and it can also be controlled remotely using your ControLinc, so you can add lights into scenes or turn them off from your bedside table. A INSTEON Wire-in Dimmer Scene Lighting Starter Kit is also available. For non-dimmable lights (such as fluorescent) or ceiling fans, connect a INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay (Non-dimming) instead.
All of these SwitchLincs come with white and ivory paddles. Paddles and wall plates are also available in almond, black, brown and gray, and the LED colored light bars can be changed as well. View all color-change options here.
Advanced Lighting-Control Options
 The ControLinc isn't your only option for controlling and dimming lamps and switches remotely. By wiring in an INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer, you'll not only have direct control of the connected load, but you'll also be able to program the keypad to control multiple additional lights or scenes with the press of a button. As with the ControLinc, each connected light can be dimmed or brightened and programmed to come on at a different rate. There's even a INSTEON Keypad Dimmer Scene Lighting Starter Kit.  You can also manage your lighting with your computer: Use Smarthome Manager Essential Timer software to schedule your INSTEON-compatible lights to come on at sundown for instant mood lighting that requires no effort during your romantic dinner. The software comes with a PowerLinc Controller V2, a standalone home automation interface that connects to your PC via USB connection for controlling lights, appliances, heating/air conditioning systems and alarm systems. This module has on-board memory so timers can be downloaded without the need to leave your computer up and running. For even more advanced settings, try our HouseLinc 2 Desktop Software with USB Interface or HouseLinc 2 Desktop Software with Serial Interface. All of the INSTEON-compatible controllers can also control legacy X10 products, so you don't need to make your existing products obsolete in order to upgrade to a more reliable, faster network.
