Introduction
Introduction
This guide is designed to educate you on lighting system design using the wide
range of products found in the Crestron Green Light®family. Crestron Green Light
is built on 40 years of expertise, vision, and innovation. From the very first
touchpanel to the first Ethernet-based control system, Crestron has defined
“integration.” Focused on bringing to market new and advanced solutions for
making life easier and greener, Crestron is continuing to engineer the future of
intelligent building technology.
Through our industry experience, we understand the value of scalability. We know
that the needs (and budgets) of today may be different tomorrow. Green Light
solutions are uniquely designed to grow over time while constantly providing a
reliable and consistent user experience. Solutions for the room can expand to fulfill
the needs of the entire building; a building may grow into a worldwide enterprise.
Crestron delivers solutions for venues and projects of all sizes.
Product scalability is crucial, but hardware is only as good as the software that
drives it. Crestron software tools are designed to integrate all areas of the system
to do anything you want them to do. Lights in a boardroom originally designed to
function locally can now hook into the room’s AV system for an integrated solution,
so when the source is switched to Blu-ray, the lights automatically dim. Similarly,
electric shades that were only intended to lower during AV presentations can now
be integrated to intelligently lower based on the angle of the sun and lumen level.
This data is shared with Crestron RoomView®Server Edition software across the
global enterprise for energy tracking, monitoring, control and maintenance.
With Crestron, everything can be integrated and intelligently managed. This is the
power of Crestron: a solution that evolves with you. Welcome to Crestron—the only
solution solving the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Totally Integrated Building Control
Imagine having total control over all building technology, across any number of locations, from a single easy to use interface. Only
Crestron makes it possible. With everything combined into one Crestron system, managing enterprise locations is easier than ever
before. With Viridian software, monitoring, tracking, and controlling resources is simply a click or touch away.
Modern commercial buildings are increasingly complex. Lighting, AV, HVAC, security, and other systems are all necessary in today’s
office. Crestron control processors easily interface with these systems. Lighting and AV systems are available directly from Crestron.
Other building technology, such as HVAC or security, is easily connected through a GLA-BMS or by directly connecting to a Crestron
control processor.
The graphic below depicts how Crestron can control a commercial building. Individual rooms have different solutions to their differing
needs, but all are connected via the Crestron control system. Blue circles represent pieces available directly from Crestron. White circles
are pieces provided by a third party (such as a television or light fixture).

Specifying Crestron Lighting Systems
Specifying Crestron Lighting Systems
This lighting design guide will help you choose the proper Crestron products for your application. A typical lighting system has at least a
lighting control module or cabinet, a processor, and a user interface. Follow these basic steps when navigating through this guide:
1. Survey all controlled lights and loads
Gather information on wattage, voltage, and fixture type. Specify each load as dimmed or switched, normal or emergency, and
central or local control.
2. Choose one or more lighting systems
Use the Product Families section to help you choose. Designate each load to a lighting system. Make sure not to exceed the
maximum load rating for each lighting system.
3. Choose one or more control processors
Use the Processors section. Room Solutions products can work without a processor, but may have limited expansion without
one.
4. Choose one or more user interfaces
For iLux®and wall box dimmers and switches, a separate user interface is not necessary, but recommended.
5. Add in sensors, shades, and accessories for a more powerful system
Crestron’s Green Light Designer program can help with the design process. Currently, it supports Architectural Dimming, Power
Switching, and iLux systems. For more information see the Green Light Designer Software section.
Cresnet and Ethernet
Throughout the design process, it is important to consider communication between devices. Almost every product in this guide is
capable of connecting via Cresnet. Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron systems. It is a simple, bi-directional network
combined with a 24 V power feed. Cresnet allows runs over several thousand feet, and the wiring topology is flexible. Unlike Ethernet,
there is no need for dozens of “home-run” cables – Cresnet can daisy-chain
and home-run.
When designing, try to avoid a large number of Cresnet devices on one circuit. There is a physical limit of 255 devices per segment, but
performance may limit you to far less devices. The acceptable number of Cresnet devices varies with usage and programming
complexity. Performance can be increased by using the Cresnet hubs described in the accessories section of this guide. The PAC2
processor includes several Cresnet segments built-in for high performance out of the box.
Cresnet supplies 24 V power to devices. Power is provided by select processors or a power supply. Insufficient or unstable power will
cause an unreliable system. To help you with the power calculations, a power calculator is available on the Crestron web site.
An Ethernet connection is available on some products, especially touchpanels and processors. Ethernet provides a high performance
connection. Power can be provided with devices that support POE (Power Over Ethernet).
System Architecture
Crestron Green Light systems are available in a variety of configurations. Factors such as construction type, client requirements, and
architectural restrictions determine the best configuration. Lighting system architectures include centralized, distributed, and hybrid.
At the heart of each Green Light system is one or more control processors. This control system takes in user button presses or other
external events and turns them into single commands or even sequences of commands; dimming lights and closing shades can occur
with just one button press or occupancy sense. In addition to controlling lighting, fans, motors, HVAC, and security, the control system
can connect to building systems via Ethernet, RS-232, BACnet, LonWorks, and others.

Specifying Crestron Lighting Systems
Centralized Architecture
Product Families: Architectural Dimming, Power Switching, Green Light Express
xHigh-voltage wiring home-runs from many rooms to a central Crestron panel
xLights are controlled with keypads and touchpanels located anywhere
In a centralized system all the high-voltage lighting, motor, fan, and switch circuits draw power directly from modules in a Crestron
Green Light enclosure. Wired or wireless user interfaces can be placed throughout the building to control the various circuits. A
centralized design simplifies the high-voltage wiring through a “home-run” infrastructure in which each lighting circuit is connected
directly to the module within the Crestron enclosure.
The major benefit of a centralized architecture is the ability to program the user interfaces to control any load connected to the system.
This differs from traditional distributed infrastructure, whereby each circuit is controlled locally via the in-wall dimmer or switch.
Enabling load control through programming enables multi-point control as well as the ability to change how the system functions
through future updates. In addition to reducing wall clutter, multiple circuits can be controlled via a single button press, simply recalling
presets for different room configurations, events or atmospheres.
Centralized systems are appropriate for applications such as lobbies, hallways, parking garages, stadiums, and auditoriums.

Distributed Architecture
Product Families: Room Solutions
xWired in traditional configuration
xEach load is controlled by a local Crestron device
xIn some cases, the local device has integrated keypad
xKeypad and touchpanel control are optional, allowing that load to be controlled from any location
In a distributed system, the high-voltage lighting, motor, fan, and switch circuits are wired in the traditional configuration with local
control. Controllable in-wall dimmers or switches replace the standard dimmers or switches and can be retrofitted into a project after
customary high-voltage wiring is completed. Crestron in-wall dimmers communicate with a control processor through either a Cresnet
(low-voltage control wire) or infiNET EX™(mesh RF) wireless connection. This design combines the familiarity of local control with the
power and flexibility of automation. In the event of a control system interruption, the user can still operate the lighting locally.
In the commercial space, in-wall solutions are appropriate for offices, small boardrooms, and hospitality. Typically in-wall dimmers or
switches support standard voltages (120/230VAC) and load types (incandescent, magnetic low-voltage). In the case where higher
voltages and loads are required, an expansion module can be added.

Hybrid Architecture
Product Families: Mix centralized and distributed products.
xCombines both centralized and distributed architectures
xOffers complete building/enterprise control through flexible combinations of products
A hybrid system is a mix of both the centralized and distributed design. This allows local control where needed alongside sophisticated
central control for larger spaces. For example, a boardroom could have distributed local control while the lobby is on centralized control.
Hybrid designs typically achieve a good balance, delivering the control necessary at a reasonable budget. In many commercial spaces,
mechanical/electrical room space is limited (this is where the Green Light enclosures must be installed). By using a logical mix of
centralized and distributed control, entire buildings can be connected to a control network that offers total control, monitoring and
management.

Green Light Designer Software
Crestron Green Light Designer allows you to design and document a complete, energy-efficient commercial lighting solution that
combines facility-wide lighting, shade/drape control with audio/video integration and network management - all without requiring
extensive knowledge of Crestron products, or any other Crestron software.
Green Light Designer features a straightforward user interface, with all data entry confined to four easy-to-use tabs: load schedule,
shades, control stations, and sensors. As you define your project, an equipment list of required Crestron products is generated
automatically behind the scenes.
Once the project is designed and configured, Green Light Designer allows you to generate attractive and easy to read reports such as
one-line diagrams, load schedules, shade schedules, equipment lists, and equipment lists by room. Reports can be generated in a
variety of formats (e.g. PDF, Excel, HTML, CSV, text) ready to be sent via email or imported into other applications.

GLPD panels are available with integrated circuit breakers. GLPD panels without integrated circuit breakers are known as “feed-thru”
cabinets. Dimming in a feed-thru cabinet is also available with the GLPX panel from the Green Light Express product line. To learn more
or configure a GLPX panel, see the Green Light Express section on page 29.
When to Specify Architectural Dimming
If you need to dim a large amount of lighting loads, Architectural Dimming panels are the tools for the job. When specifying, keep in
mind that the panel requires all load wiring to home-run to a single location, preferably a utility room where the panel can be installed. A
single panel can control up to 60 lighting loads. If necessary, multiple panels can be configured and connected through the control
system. With Architectural Dimming panels, no job is too big.

What is AIC?
When a short circuit occurs, a large amount of current flows into the circuit breaker and it trips. The
Ampere Interrupt Capacity rating is the maximum current the breaker can safely interrupt. If the short
circuit current exceeds the AIC rating of the breaker, the circuit breaker may fail. For safe operation,
the AIC rating must exceed the available fault current at the panel. 

blue or gray box. The gray boxes represent the modules and may be eliminated from the model name if not used. The numbered steps
below describe each part of the model name in detail.
Examples: GLPD-C-2DIM-2FLV-FT
GLPD-C-2FLV-4HSW-MCB100-120-65k
1. Feed Type GLPD-C-___-___-___-___-___-___
MLO Main Lug Only with 20A branch breakers
MCB60 60A back-fed main circuit breaker with 20A branch breakers
MCB80 80A back-fed main circuit breaker with 20A branch breakers
MCB100 100A back-fed main circuit breaker with 20A branch breakers
MCB125 125A back-fed main circuit breaker with 20A branch breakers
FT Feed-thru with no integrated branch breakers
2. Number of DIM, FLV, and HSW GLPD-C-___-___-___-___-___-___
In the table below are the possible module choices. To design the cabinet, select quantities of these three modules. A DIM module wires
6 loads, an FLV module wires 8 loads, and an HSW module wires 8 loads. Therefore the total number of loads will be:
(# of DIM modules × 6) + (# of FLV modules × 8) + (# of HSW modules × 8)
See the next page for an example calculation.

Architectural Dimming
Find the row in the table below that matches your choice in step 1. In that row is the maximum number of loads for each cabinet size.
Choose a cabinet size, and do not exceed the maximums when designing the panel. See page 18 for more information on the cabinet
sizes.
Cabinet Size
2x2 3x2 2x4 3x4 2x2-FT 3x2-FT
Max # of Modules 4 6 8 12 4 6
Max # of
Loads
MLO 30 42 60 60 - -
MCB 27* 39* 57* 57* - -
FT - - - - 32 48
* If using 120/208V and MCB125, reduce the maximum number of loads shown by three.
Now choose quantities of DIM, FLV, and HSW modules, but do not exceed the maximum number of modules and maximum number of
loads determined from the table above.
As an example, say you have 4 DIM loads, 20 FLV loads, and 15 HSW loads. This would require 1 DIM module, 3 FLV modules, and 2
HSW modules = 6 modules. Using the formula on the previous page, these six modules wire a total of 46 loads.
(1 × 6) + (3 × 8) + (2 × 8) = 46 loads
The cabinet size will be 2x4 because it is the smallest cabinet that can accommodate 6 modules and 46 circuits.
3. Voltage GLPD-C-___-___-___-___-___-___
To specify the circuit breaker voltage, enter “120” for 120/208V or “277” for 277/480V.
4. AIC Rating GLPD-C-___-___-___-___-___-___
Choose one of the following values from the appropriate column to specify the Ampere Interrupting Capacity of the circuit breakers.
120 Volt 277 Volt
10K 18K
22K 35K
65K 65K
Note: For feed-thru cabinets only (-FT), the model name is complete after step two. Skip steps three and four.
Note: It is possible to wire in fractions of modules when there are not enough breakers available for the modules you want. In this
circumstance please call Crestron Sales Support Services.
What is AIC?
When a short circuit occurs, a large amount of current flows into the circuit breaker and it trips. The
Ampere Interrupt Capacity rating is the maximum current the breaker can safely interrupt. If the short
circuit current exceeds the AIC rating of the breaker, the circuit breaker may fail. For safe operation,
the AIC rating must exceed the available fault current at the panel. 
