Product Overview
The Crestron HZ2-DIMUEX-DRK-NKL is a Horizon 2 in-wall universal phase dimmer featuring infiNET EX wireless communication. Finished in dark nickel with standard engraving, it operates on 120 VAC and supports forward and reverse phase dimming for compatibility with a broad range of load types including LED, CFL, incandescent, halogen, and electronic low-voltage fixtures.
Product Description
Designed for commercial and residential AV installations, the HZ2-DIMUEX-DRK-NKL integrates directly into a Crestron infiNET EX wireless mesh network, eliminating the need for dedicated control wiring at each device location. The universal phase dimming engine accommodates both leading-edge (forward phase) and trailing-edge (reverse phase) loads, making it a single-SKU solution across mixed lighting environments.
The dark nickel finish and standard icon engraving provide a polished, professional appearance that complements upscale commercial interiors. As part of the Horizon 2 platform, it pairs with the full range of HZ2 faceplates, keypads, and accessories for a unified aesthetic across an installation.
Key Features
- Universal phase dimming: supports forward phase (incandescent, halogen, magnetic low-voltage) and reverse phase (electronic low-voltage, most LED/CFL) loads
- infiNET EX wireless mesh communication for wire-free deployment and flexible placement
- 120 VAC operation for standard North American electrical systems
- Standard icon engraving for intuitive user identification at the wall
- Dark nickel finish for consistent, upscale aesthetic in high-end commercial spaces
- Compatible with full Horizon 2 faceplate ecosystem (HZ2-FP series)
- Integrates with Crestron control systems for centralized automation and scheduling
Typical Applications
- Conference rooms and boardrooms requiring precise, automated lighting control
- Executive offices and lobbies with mixed LED and incandescent fixture inventories
- Hospitality spaces where wireless deployment reduces installation labor
- Retrofit projects where running new control wire is impractical
- Multi-room AV systems with centralized Crestron control infrastructure
