Colortran Lighting Control

Retrofitting Discontinued Colortran iSeries e Dimming Systems

Now that Leviton no longer manufactures or supports Colortran iSeries e dimming systems, revitalizing your existing rack is often more cost-effective than replacing your entire lighting infrastructure.

JSI Manufacturing’s i96e-3000+ is a Colortran-compatible lighting retrofit processor designed to replace discontinued control electronics while keeping your existing rack and wiring in place.

By upgrading the brains of your system, you can restore dependable lighting control and avoid the disruption and expense of a complete overhaul.

“To date, we have had zero issues with the upgrades. All [JSI Manufacturing] console boards have been compatible, zero mystery errors as with the originals, and the end users find them to be the easiest racks they have ever worked with. Best decision we ever made.”

“Solid company. Solid staff. Great results. Refreshing to still have companies like JSI around that are not based on corporate money-focused shareholders. More often than not, you get what you pay for, but with JSI, a retrofit saves cash.”

“On install day, it was obvious that JSI was devoted to getting the retrofit completed, and with the ferocity of a chihuahua on a pork chop, they did not let go until the mission was completed.”
