CP Electronics has launched a new front end for its popular Rapid lighting control system.

The company believes that the software is the first to enable full integration of emergency lighting testing and lighting control in a single package.

It uses the latest Microsoft .NET framework and features the ability to monitor lighting remotely and override local settings from a central PC.

When used in conjunction with DALI ballasts, it can monitor the status of individual lamps and report any failures.

It also enables lighting systems to be reconfigured quickly and easily, without the need for changes to hard-wiring.
