Remotely Control Light Up to 300 Feet Away

In large commercial and industrial spaces, lighting control isn’t always within arm’s reach. High ceilings, long distances, and hard-to-access fixtures make traditional wall switches impractical.

With wireless RF technology, it’s now possible to remotely control light up to 300 feet away—without running control wiring or installing batteries.

Illumra’s self-powered wireless controls make long-range lighting control simple, reliable, and flexible for both OEMs and commercial installations.

Long-Range Control Without Wires or Batteries

Unlike hardwired or line-of-sight systems, Illumra’s wireless controls communicate using RF signals that pass through walls and enclosures. This allows lights to be controlled from across large spaces without additional control wiring.

Illumra offers two primary control options:

  • Handheld self-powered wireless remote
  • Self-powered wall-mounted wireless switches

Both generate their own energy when pressed, eliminating batteries and maintenance.

Handheld Remote for Flexible Control

Illumra’s handheld wireless remote provides portable control for lighting systems where fixed switches aren’t ideal. It’s well suited for:

  • Warehouses and industrial spaces
  • Parking garages and outdoor lighting
  • Temporary installations
  • Maintenance and override control
  • OEM products requiring a portable interface

The handheld remote can be paired with wireless receivers to control lighting from distances of up to 300 feet, depending on environment and installation conditions.

Wall Switches for Permanent Installations

For fixed control locations, Illumra’s self-powered wall switches provide the same wireless performance in a familiar form factor. These switches:

  • Install without control wiring
  • Mount anywhere—no back box required
  • Require no batteries
  • Support single or multi-zone control
  • Pair easily with wireless receivers

They offer a clean, permanent control solution while still enabling long-range wireless operation.

Ideal for Commercial and OEM Applications

Illumra’s long-range wireless lighting control is commonly used in:

  • Warehouses & industrial facilities – Control high-bay lighting without new conduit
  • Parking structures & outdoor lighting – Enable remote overrides and zoning
  • Retail & commercial spaces – Support flexible layouts and lighting scenes
  • OEM lighting products – Integrate wireless control directly into luminaires and systems

By removing control wiring, manufacturers and installers can reduce labor, simplify system design, and support future expansion.

Why Choose Self-Powered Wireless Control

Illumra’s wireless lighting solutions help reduce system complexity while increasing flexibility:

  • No control wiring required
  • No batteries to replace
  • Long-range RF performance
  • Flexible placement of switches and remotes
  • Easy integration into OEM lighting products

This makes it easier to deliver advanced lighting control without adding installation cost or maintenance burden.

A Smarter Way to Control Lighting

If your application requires lighting control across large spaces or hard-to-reach areas, wireless RF control offers a practical solution.

Being able to remotely control light up to 300 feet away gives designers, engineers, and facility managers more freedom—without adding wires, batteries, or complexity.
