Product Description
Vari-Lite 53818-004C 4ch RigSwitch+ Architectural (Branch-Fed)
Overview
The Vari-Lite RigSwitch+ Architectural Power Platform, 4 & 8 Channel Branch-Fed, is a customizable all-in-one power control solution for small entertainment lighting installations. A single global power platform with 120V/277V and 230V power options, the RigSwitch+ Series offers affordable rig and architectural power, providing relay switching with configurable propagation delay and onboard current monitoring as well as built-in 0/1V-10V and DALI dimming included as standard. This makes it easy to control rig, house, and work light power from the same device.
RigSwitch+ also offers support for daylight and occupancy sensors, DMX/RDM signal detection, and emergency alert response, ensuring the system can automatically adjust to environmental changes without user interaction. And with space in the 4-channel variant to add two optional control interface modules, integrators can customize the cabinet to connect to a variety of Vari-Lite and third-party devices and systems, including DMX, RS232, digital I/O, and more.
