LiteLINE Node — one control, multiple installation options

PLC technology overview

Through Power Line Communication (PLC), all control signals are transmitted directly over the existing power lines, without the need for additional communication wiring — only the standard power supply line is used.

This type of connection has one important limitation: when non-lighting devices are connected to the same circuit, they can introduce interference and reduce signal stability.
To ensure reliable communication in such cases, LiteLINE systems use anti-jamming filters, which eliminate electrical noise and keep the PLC signal stable even when third-party loads are present on the line.

How LiteLINE technology operates

Using LiteLINE technology, each luminaire is equipped with a PLC node that enables remote switching, dimming, and diagnostics.
The LiteLINE Node receives control commands from the LiteLINE Gateway, which manages communication across the PLC network. The Gateway, installed in a cabinet, exchanges data with the central controller. The central controller connects to software platform via GSM or Ethernet, providingfull remote access, monitoring, and configuration.

LiteLINE Node versions

The LiteLINE Node is a flexible control device available in multiple form factors to suit different installation requirements.
It’s the same intelligent lighting node, available in several versions depending on where and how it needs to be mounted:
- Wire — enclosed wired module for installation inside lighting poles.
- NEMA — plug-in version compatible with standard NEMA sockets.
- Screw — enclosed terminal-block version for installation inside a luminaire housing or lighting pole.
- PCB — board-only version for OEM integration directly inside luminaires.

Why we recommend it

We recommend this solution in most projects, as PLC (Power Line Communication) offers the most cost-effective hardware option among all individual lighting control methods.
Since PLC technology transmits control signals by modulating the frequency of the power line, it is especially well-suited for installations with a dedicated power line for lighting, free from third-party connections or interference.
