1. DC vs. ACWhere does AC remain and where does DC excel? |
Why introduce DC now when AC is everywhere? |
We harness DC for ‘switch plate and up’ devices—lights, fans, USB ports—delivering quieter, more efficient performance. Legacy 120 VAC remains only for high-power loads like hair dryers and heaters. |
2. Cost EfficiencyHow do material and labor costs compare? |
With copper prices rising, how can wiring stay affordable? |
Our AWG 18 DC wire costs ¼ of traditional Romex, uses less copper/plastic, and is faster to install—all while meeting 1500 V isolation standards. |
3. Flicker & QualityCan we eliminate LED flicker affordably? |
AC-driven LEDs flicker under TRIAC dimmers—what’s the fix? |
DC directly drives LEDs (diodes) with zero flicker down to zero intensity. No complex electronics—just pure, smooth dimming. |
4. ReliabilityHow to reduce fixture failures and landfill waste? |
Integrated AC fixtures fail fast, requiring full replacement—can it be greener? |
Centralizing AC→DC conversion in a single, redundant hub eliminates dozens of failure points in each fixture—delivering unmatched longevity and minimal waste. |
5. Contractor AdoptionWill electricians embrace new wiring? |
Are trades willing to change their approach? |
Our DC wiring mimics existing 120 VAC topology. Electricians install it with the same techniques they know—no retraining, just simpler gauge. |
6. SimplicityCan advanced lighting avoid sticker shock? |
Wireless/control systems add cost—what’s the alternative? |
No hubs, no provisioning—every switch locally controls DC lighting. Out-of-the-box simplicity at a fraction of the cost. |
7. Color TemperatureIs user-adjustable CCT viable and affordable? |
Apps and Wi‑Fi are expensive—any simpler way? |
Two wires (18/2) deliver adjustable CCT via simple switch, app, or schedule—no training required for end users. |
8. System UpgradeabilityHow to future-proof without rewiring? |
Tungsten was simple—LEDs got complex. How can we keep it simple? |
Start with basic DC fixtures. Upgrade your central hub for advanced features—room-by-room, without touching walls. |
9. DC AdvantagesWhat unique benefits does DC enable? |
Beyond cost—what else is easier or possible? |
Battery backup, emergency lighting, low-cost sensors, and three‑way switching—all native to DC wiring with zero extra hardware. |
