New Star Lighting is an independent manufacturer of luminaires and is “controls agnostic”, meaning we will incorporate most control platforms into our products. For healthcare applications, we have partnered with Curbell Medical Products and incorporate their Low Voltage Controllers into our patient room luminaires to allow our multi-function luminaires to interact with a pillow speaker or bed communication siderail. Curbell’s Low Voltage Controllers have been tested and approved for use with ALL nurse call systems that use a switch with normally-open momentary dry contacts for auxiliaries.
1. What type of wall dimmer switch is used with your Low Voltage Controller?
The only switch that can be used with our LVC is a normally open dry contact that is wired in parallel with the pillow speaker or bed. The microprocessor sends a 0-10V signal to the driver. This signal tells the driver how to dim.
2. Will your LVC work with all nurse call systems?
Yes. All modern nurse call systems.
3. Do you sell wall switches?
Yes, we have a complete line of wall plate options. Click here for more information (click takes you to Wall Plate landing page)
4. Can a healthcare bed dim a light?
Yes, as long as the light switch on the bed is a normally open dry contact and is wired in parallel with the associated pillow speaker or wall switch
We do not sell or share your information
