Lumitec Pico S-8 Expansion Module

The Lumitec Pico S-8 Expansion Module extends the capability and control reach of the Pico Digital Lighting Control system, enabling operators to command luminaires and lighting accessories from other manufacturers that lack native PLI (Pico Link Interface) technology. This expansion module is designed for installations where centralized lighting management across mixed-brand fixtures is essential—whether for vessel lighting, emergency response vehicles, or command-post environments where seamless integration and control redundancy are critical.

The S-8 variant provides the ability to assign Pico virtual switch commands to up to eight physical mechanical switches, allowing tactical flexibility in switch placement and interface design. This means your primary multi-function display can remain dedicated to a specific screen or task without requiring physical control switches at that location. The 12-pound unit measures 5 x 1 x 12 inches, making it suitable for integration into existing equipment racks, vehicle electrical systems, or mounted control stations. The Pico S-8 bridges the gap between legacy lighting systems and modern digital control platforms, enabling operators to standardize their command interface without replacing existing luminaires.

This module serves teams and installations requiring multi-manufacturer lighting integration: emergency services coordinating apparatus lighting, maritime operations managing cabin and navigation lighting across diverse fixture types, and tactical operations needing unified lighting control across multiple platforms. The S-8 expansion module is essential for mixed-fleet environments where standardizing on a single control system reduces training overhead and operational complexity while preserving existing equipment investments.

Lumitec's Pico control ecosystem has established itself in professional lighting applications where reliability and adaptability matter. The S-8 Expansion Module represents a pragmatic approach to system scalability—allowing operators to extend Pico functionality across heterogeneous lighting architectures without costly fixture replacement or complete system redesign.
