Crestron CLCI-1SW2EX-W – In-Ceiling 2-Channel Switch, infiNET EX Wireless, 230VAC

Product Overview

The Crestron CLCI-1SW2EX-W is a two-channel, 230VAC in-ceiling switch designed for wireless lighting control in new construction and retrofit projects. It communicates with a Crestron control system via infiNET EX two-way RF wireless technology, eliminating the need for dedicated control wiring to the ceiling. Its ultra-slim, surface-mount housing installs directly in a non-plenum ceiling space next to or near the fixture.

Product Description

The CLCI-1SW2EX-W controls two independent 230VAC lighting zones from a single device, with each channel rated at 500 VA. It installs inline at the fixture—no special wiring required—and supports daisy-chaining to additional CLCI-series devices through its loop-thru screw terminals. Out of the box, it can be operated via a standard maintained or momentary switch without requiring a full control system, making it suitable for phased deployments. When integrated with a Crestron processor, the device can be managed from any keypad, touch panel, or mobile device, and tied into occupancy sensors, photocells, and Crestron Fusion energy management software.

FAQs

Does the CLCI-1SW2EX-W require a Crestron control processor to operate?
No. For basic on/off control, the device can be operated using a standard maintained or momentary switch without a processor. Full integration with scheduling, scenes, and remote control requires a Crestron control system and infiNET EX wireless gateway (sold separately).

Can multiple CLCI-1SW2EX-W units be wired together?
Yes. The device includes two sets of line and neutral terminals wired in parallel internally, allowing you to daisy-chain additional CLCI-series devices without wire connectors or extra gang boxes. Up to 100 infiNET EX devices can coexist on a single wireless network.

Where can I purchase the CLCI-1SW2EX-W?
The CLCI-1SW2EX-W is available through authorized Crestron dealers and distributors. Visit creationnetworks.net to order or request a quote.
