Pharos Architectural Controls will be exhibiting at NYControlled 2025, New York’s premier trade show dedicated to lighting controls, held at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC. The event opens with a hands-on workshop on Tuesday, 14 October, followed by the main exhibition on Wednesday, 15 October.
Over the course of two days, the event will feature a curated programme of manufacturer-led tech talks and educational sessions on lighting controls, complemented by an exhibition floor showcasing leading controls manufacturers and trade associations – making it the ideal forum to connect with specifiers and integrators.
At table 402 visitors will be able to meet the Pharos team, where they will demonstrate the newest developments across its ranges, with a focus on key updates to Pharos Expert and Pharos Designer.
The latest release of Expert 2.0 introduces Groups, providing a new way to organise fixtures within a space. This allows users to control smaller fixture groups, with run-time overrides available via the Expert Touch mobile app or touchscreen wall stations. Programming tools have also been refined: static scenes can now be embedded into timeline scenes, while dynamic scenes have gained extended properties such as broader speed ranges and longer loop times, offering more subtle playback. Visitors to the Pharos table will be able to try these features in a hands-on demonstration.
Expert now also supports the Pharos RIO D4, a DALI four-port device that connects to an Expert system using a single PoE connection. Up to four RIO D4s can be linked to Expert Control, enabling as many as 16 additional DALI interfaces in one system.
For Designer, the team will present the latest enhancements following the launch of DMX Record. New functionality includes DMX Record remapping, giving users the flexibility to route recorded universes to different outputs, including the controller’s local DMX ports. Another major improvement is to eDMX pass-through, which now allows eDMX (Art-Net or sACN) from any console to be passively routed through a Pharos Designer LPC to another eDMX universe, local ports, or Pharos DMX gateways such as the EDN and RIO G4.
Michael Grosse (MG), Regional Sales Manager at Pharos said: “NYControlled attracts a highly engaged, controls-focused audience, making it the perfect platform for us to showcase our Expert and Designer ranges. These solutions enable specifiers and integrators with the tools to design, manage, and maintain exceptional dynamic lighting experiences.”
