Understand the whole system
Your Lighting System Is Infrastructure
In a panelized lighting system, the wall keypads do not directly control every fixture. They send commands to centralized processors, dimmers, relays, power supplies, and load modules. When one of those components—or the programming behind it—fails, replacing a keypad or installing a conventional dimmer may not restore the system.
Amplex approaches the home as one complete system. We evaluate the electrical loads, central panels, low-voltage keypads, communication wiring, programming, integrations, and network conditions before recommending a repair or replacement strategy.
Our specialty is troubleshooting, repairing, documenting, and modernizing existing lighting-control systems—not ground-up whole-home panelized installations.
Start With the System You Already Own
A responsible path begins with evidence: what is installed, what has failed, what remains supportable, and what can safely be preserved.
Legacy-System Repair
Repair or replace failed components when safe, supportable parts and reliable technical resources remain available. Every repair recommendation must consider the condition and future viability of the complete system.
Programming and Keypads
Diagnose failed keypads, replace compatible devices, coordinate engraving when applicable, update scenes and schedules, test communication, and restore intuitive control.
System Mapping and Documentation
Document panels, modules, circuit loads, keypad locations, button functions, scenes, integrations, and available project files so the homeowner is not left with an undocumented system.
Retrofit and Modernization
When continued repair is no longer responsible, design a controlled migration to a supported platform while preserving compatible infrastructure wherever field verification allows.
Testing and Handoff
Test every affected circuit and control point, verify scenes and schedules, confirm integrations, train the homeowner, and deliver useful system documentation.
Platform-specific experience
Legacy Lighting Systems We Evaluate
Repairability and reuse depend on an onsite assessment, system condition, wiring, load types, available documentation, and parts availability.
Centralized systems
Vantage and CentraLite Service Paths
Vantage InFusion and LiteTouch Conversion
LiteTouch equipment remains installed in many custom homes even though the platform is now a legacy system. Amplex evaluates controllers, modules, power supplies, communication, keypads, loads, and available programming before recommending a path forward.
When complete modernization is appropriate, Vantage manufactures InFusion retrofit hardware designed for original LiteTouch/Savant enclosures. As a Vantage dealer, Amplex also services existing InFusion systems. The enclosure, wiring, loads, keypads, and integrations must be verified before reuse is promised.

CentraLite Elegance, LiteJet, JetStream, and related legacy systems require specialized diagnosis. Amplex evaluates the central equipment, available programming, load modules, keypads, and practical parts availability.
Dragon Technologies, operated by original CentraLite founders, continues to provide technical support and parts resources for certain legacy products. Availability and repairability vary by system and component.
Legacy support information
Distributed retrofit control
Lutron Retrofit Lighting Control
For homes that do not require a centralized-panel replacement, Amplex installs and services Lutron Caséta and RadioRA 2/3 lighting control.
These systems can provide dependable retrofit automation, keypad control, scheduling, scenes, and integration without being represented as a universal answer for every failed panelized system. The correct approach depends on the home’s wiring, loads, control goals, and existing equipment.
What homeowners notice first
Signs Your Lighting System Needs Professional Diagnosis
These symptoms do not prove that a particular component has failed. Proper testing is required before a repair or retrofit path can be recommended.
- One room or several lighting zones stopped responding
- Lights are stuck on, stuck off, or dim erratically
- Keypad buttons or indicator lights no longer respond
- The panel clicks but the connected lights do not change
- Scenes or schedules disappeared after an outage or surge
- Only part of the house has lighting control
- LED replacements flicker or will not dim correctly
- The original installer is unavailable
- The system has no current documentation or recoverable project file
- Replacement parts are becoming difficult to obtain
- The home was purchased with an unfamiliar lighting-control system
- A remodel requires changes to existing controlled loads
A Controlled Path From Failure to Reliable Control
Diagnosis comes before assumptions. Documentation remains part of the finished work.
-
Assess
Identify the system and test power, communication, control hardware, load behavior, programming, and connected systems before replacing parts.
-
Document
Inventory panels, modules, loads, keypads, button functions, scenes, wiring, integrations, and any recoverable project files.
-
Stabilize
Protect available programming and records, isolate the immediate failure, and determine whether responsible temporary stabilization is possible.
-
Repair or Modernize
Compare viable paths, complete and commission the authorized work, verify affected controls and scenes, train the homeowner, and deliver useful records.
The Amplex difference
One Company. One Point of Accountability.
A lighting-control failure can involve line-voltage loads, dimming or relay modules, low-voltage keypads, controller programming, communication wiring, network connections, and third-party integrations. Splitting those responsibilities among multiple companies can slow diagnosis and create uncertainty about who owns the result.
Amplex combines smart-home and control-system expertise with Florida electrical contractor licensing. The same company can evaluate the electrical and technology sides of the system, develop the repair or retrofit plan, perform the authorized work, program the controls, test the completed system, and remain accountable for the final result.
Straight answers before work begins
Lighting Control Questions
What is a panelized lighting system?
A panelized system places many dimmers or relays in one or more central enclosures. Wall keypads send commands to the control system instead of directly switching each lighting load. It may also be described as centralized lighting, whole-home lighting control, a dimming system, or a relay-panel system.
Can an existing LiteTouch system be repaired?
Some LiteTouch failures may still be repairable, depending on the failed component, system condition, available programming, and parts availability. An assessment is required before repair or replacement can be recommended responsibly.
Can LiteTouch be converted to Vantage?
Vantage manufactures InFusion retrofit inserts designed for original LiteTouch/Savant enclosures. That creates a manufacturer-supported conversion path for compatible projects. Existing wiring, enclosures, keypads, loads, and integrations must still be inspected before reuse is confirmed.
Can Amplex repair a CentraLite system?
Amplex can diagnose existing CentraLite systems and pursue repair when the equipment, technical support, and suitable components remain available. When continued repair is not practical, Amplex can develop a modernization plan.
Will a retrofit require opening walls?
Many panelized retrofits can preserve useful infrastructure, but no contractor should promise that every enclosure, wire, keypad location, or circuit can be reused before inspection. Wall access depends on the existing system, wiring condition, desired controls, and project scope.
Do you install new panelized systems from scratch?
This service is focused on existing lighting-control systems: diagnosis, repair, documentation, programming, and retrofit. Ground-up whole-home panelized installations are not the focus of this page.
What should I send before the assessment?
If available, provide clear photographs of the central lighting panels, controller labels, module labels, several wall keypads, and the current failure. Include the property location, when the problem began, whether the failure is partial or complete, and any original project files or documentation.
Do you work on ordinary smart lighting?
Yes. Amplex also installs and services Lutron Caséta and RadioRA 2/3 systems for suitable retrofit applications. The correct solution depends on whether the home uses conventional branch wiring or a centralized panelized system.
