Presidor™ Intelligent Power Control

Presidor™ Lighting Panels combine LED dimmers and relays in a single enclosure, delivering efficient and cost-effective installations. With DMX input and an optional DIN rail node, these LED dimmer relay panels support a wide range of applications and are offered in two panel sizes. Small dimmer relay panels are available in 8 or 12 channels, while the large Presidor™ lighting panel supports up to 24 channels for larger installations. Every option can include a splitter relay panel board with a local 3-pole 40-amp disconnect breaker for added safety.

LED Dimmer Relay Panels, Designed for Cost-Effective Lighting Control Solutions

Our panels can be custom-built with factory-installed modules in your preferred order. Options include dual relay, quad relay, or quad dimmer. Our intelligent dimmers use advanced reverse-phase control, are rated at 600W, and support full-range dimming (1–100% DMX) for both LED and incandescent loads. Air-gap relays switch ON/OFF at selectable DMX thresholds from 10% to 90%.

0–10VDC analog outputs can be set as a source or sink for direct drive of analog ballasts. Every circuit includes protection against overload, short circuit, temperature, overvoltage, and inductive load, ensuring safe lighting control. LED indicators and real-time error reporting feed directly to the command control for advanced diagnostics typically reserved for high-end systems.

The Presidor™ Command Controller features a full-color capacitive touch GUI for fast setup and automatic error reporting. With smart operation and an intuitive design, these relay cabinets deliver exceptional lighting performance.

Our LED dimmer relay panels:

  • Combine reverse-phase LED dimmers and air-gap relays in one panel.
  • Have dimmers that employ MOSFET power outputs for unsurpassed dimming efficiency (≥99%).
  • Use 277VAC-rated 50-AMP tungsten “Air-Gap” relays in the relay modules.
