The Expert line includes Control, Touch, Repeat, and Switch hardware solutions: “Expert is designed for more practical use which allows the operator to be ‘the expert’ without being an architectural lighting controls specialist.” “While it looks smooth in transition, demands an incredible amount of complex programming, which hasn’t been very accessible to the general lighting sector,” Neill said. ![]() ![]() A typical DMX system can send lighting output data approximately 25–35 times per second, he noted. Unlike other controls protocols that deliver one programmed output result per fixture, Neill explained, with DMX, lighting effects are achieved through continuous information programmed into the DMX controllers with multiple channels delivering multiple effects commands - from fading to color changing to color temperature adjusting - to any number of compliant fixtures in the system library. While DMX lighting controls have long been used in the architainment sector, Neill said, “we’re seeing a shift to DMX control becoming more ubiquitous” in general illumination projects due to “its high quality output with very specific color values.” Jack Neill, product manager for Expert and Cloud, told LEDs Magazine that Pharos looked to distill its experience with dynamic lighting management for high-end architectural, landmark, and entertainment installations into decorative and functional lighting control systems. ![]() It is coming off a recognition year for its Pharos Cloud suite targeted toward system integrators, which received honors in the LEDs Magazine BrightStar Awards. The UK-based company is known for its expertise in DMX controls for complex architainment lighting schemes, deployed at venues and locations such as the London Eye and Niagara Falls, among others. During the recent Light+Building exhibition, Pharos Architectural Controls debuted a new line of lighting controls offerings dubbed “Expert,” targeting the general architectural specifier and commercial end-user markets.
