[QUOTE="pewter, post: 356909, member: 15463"] I agree with the others. I have worked on iLight control installations. They were wired as described by others here. Cat5 to switch plates to control the lighting, each rooms light circuits (switched live and neutral) taken back to central point in my case the iLight units. one downside the customer has had is sometimes after power having to be shut down or a power cut , some stuff needing to be reprogrammed which left them a few days with some rooms lighting not working correctly until someone could get there to reprogram it. Lots of metal conduit and boxes going all over the place might help for cable to run in the future without disrupting the place too much. Though i suspect the cost of lots of conduit and trunking hidden in the building would cost more then just repairing the damage when an extra cable needs to be put in somewhere in the future. One guys house i did from new was concrete floors and plasterboard ceilings on metal framework leaving a convenient gap to run extra things in after. The guy did own a large company which fitted plasterboard to large commercial buildings. [/QUOTE]
