UPGRADING YOUR SYSTEM

Upgrading from a LiteTouch lighting system represents a significant step towards modernizing and enhancing your home's lighting control. As this system is no longer supported, there are a few replacement solutions to consider that meet the electrical code and are UL approved.

When choosing a replacement system, systems such as Lutron, Savant, Control4, or Vantage should first be considered. Many times, this decision is based off an existing platform that is already installed in the home.

This of course allows for seamless integration and ease of use. Other factors to consider typically relate to the overall aesthetic options each system offers - Keypad styles, Color selections, Finish options, etc.

STEP 1 - ASSESSMENT

Before embarking on the replacement journey, we must first take stock of your existing LiteTouch system. For a smooth transition, it’s important to understand the total number of keypads, dimmers, and control panels. Depending on the new system, you may need to modify or replace some wiring.

This information will be invaluable as you plan the transition to a new lighting control system.

STEP 2 - CHOOSING A SYSTEM

When choosing a system, a couple of factors typically come into play. Do you already have en existing home automation system? What type of wiring exists at each of the keypads? How are your LiteTouch modules being fed from the electrical breakers?

Popular choices typically include Lutron, Savant, or Control4. Consideration is generally given to the level of automation, user-friendly interfaces, and integration capabilities needed for each system.

STEP 3 - INSTALLATION

This may include smart switches, dimmers, keypads, central control units, and any additional devices based on the features of the replacement system. An experienced LiteTouch replacement dealer in Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Clearwater will be able to lay out a complete game plan from start to finish.

STEP 4 - PROGRAM AND CONFIGURE

With the system now replaced, all new keypads and devices will need to be configured and programmed to match your preferences. This includes setting up lighting scenes, automation routines, and integrating with other smart home devices you may have.

The decision to replace your LiteTouch system with Lutron, Savant, or Control4 depends on your specific preferences, budget, and the desired level of home automation. Engaging with a certified professional for installation ensures a smooth transition and optimal performance for your new system.
