Centralite: Expert Support for a Legacy System
The manufacturer is gone - your lighting control does not have to be. Stereo Types is fully certified to troubleshoot, repair, replace components, and modernize Centralite systems with app control while reusing the wiring already in your walls.
Get Help With Your Centralite System Also Supporting LiteTouchWhy Centralite Still Matters
Centralite once powered lighting control in countless luxury homes - keypads, load centers, dimming modules, and scene controllers that still run reliably decades later. The company itself has been out of business for a long time, which leaves many homeowners stranded: no factory support, scarce parts, and integrators who will only recommend a full tear-out.
At Stereo Types, we take a different approach. We are fully certified to support Centralite in any capacity - from diagnosing a single failed keypad to replacing components, restoring scenes, and modernizing the system with contemporary app control. When a replacement platform makes sense, we design transitions that reuse as much of your existing wiring as possible so you avoid the cost and disruption of a messy retrofit.
When the Brand Disappears, Service Shouldn't
An orphaned lighting system is one of the most frustrating problems in a smart home. Buttons stop responding. Scenes drift out of sync. A failed processor takes half the house offline - and the original dealer either left the market or only offers a complete replacement.
We still speak Centralite. Our technicians understand the architecture, the programming tools, the common failure points, and the practical paths to keep your investment working. Whether your goal is to stabilize what you have or evolve toward phone and tablet control, we start with a full assessment - not a sales pitch to rip everything out.
What We Can Do for Centralite
Full-spectrum service for systems the manufacturer no longer stands behind - repair when it makes sense, modernize when you are ready.
Troubleshooting & Diagnosis
We isolate whether the issue is a keypad, load module, processor, power supply, or programming fault - and explain the options clearly before any work begins.
Repairs & Component Replacement
Failed dimmers, keypads, and controllers can often be repaired or swapped with compatible parts. We source, install, and reprogram so your scenes and schedules come back online.
App Control Modernization
Bring your Centralite lighting into the modern era with phone and tablet control - scenes, schedules, and remote access without abandoning the hardware that already works.
Wiring-Preserving Upgrades
When replacement is the right call, we design migrations that reuse existing home runs, keypad locations, and load wiring - avoiding costly wall demolition and rewiring wherever possible.
Scene & Load Reprogramming
Restore or redesign lighting scenes for how you live today - welcome, entertaining, night paths, outdoor zones - tuned to LED loads and current fixture layouts.
Modern Control Without Starting Over
Many Centralite owners still love their keypads and the way the house responds - but they want what every modern system offers: an app, remote access, and cleaner integration with audio, shades, and climate. You do not always need a gut renovation to get there.
We evaluate three paths: keep and stabilize the existing Centralite core; modernize control so phones and tablets drive the same loads; or replace the brain of the system while reusing wall boxes, wiring, and as much hardware as remains serviceable. The right answer depends on reliability, parts availability, and how you want the home to feel five years from now.
Support Across the Whole System
From a single dead button to a whole-home lighting refresh - we handle the full Centralite stack.
Keypads & Interfaces
Diagnose unresponsive buttons, replace failed keypads, restore engraving and LED feedback, and align wall controls with updated scenes.
Processors & Controllers
Repair or replace system processors, restore programming from backup when available, and stabilize systems that have become intermittent or unreliable.
Dimming & Load Centers
Address flicker, LED incompatibility, overloaded circuits, and failed dimmer modules - critical as homes transition from legacy lamps to modern LED fixtures.
Shades & Related Loads
Where Centralite controlled motorized shades or related loads, we restore coordination with lighting or bring those circuits onto a supported platform.
Whole-Home Scenes
Rebuild welcome, away, entertaining, and overnight scenes so the house still feels intentional - even after years of ad-hoc changes by previous technicians.
Phased Modernization
Start with the zones that fail most often. Expand later. We plan upgrades that keep the home livable throughout - and that protect wiring you already paid for.
Why Choose Stereo Types for Centralite
Fully Certified Support
We are certified to support Centralite across troubleshooting, repairs, component replacement, and modernization - not a generalist guessing at an abandoned platform.
Honest Assessment First
We tell you when a repair is the smart move - and when modernization will save you money and frustration over the next decade. No pressure to rip and replace by default.
Wiring-First Upgrades
Our replacement designs start with what is already in the walls. Reusing infrastructure is how we keep projects cleaner, faster, and more affordable.
Long-Term Partnership
Whether you stay on Centralite for now or migrate to a current platform, we stand behind the work with the same service standard we bring to every Stereo Types system.
Also Supporting LiteTouch
Centralite is not the only legacy lighting brand we keep alive. If your home runs on LiteTouch - another platform whose manufacturer has long been out of business - we offer the same certified support: diagnosis, repairs, component replacement, app modernization, and wiring-preserving upgrades.
Many homes in our service regions still have one of these systems behind beautiful architecture. You do not have to live with dead keypads - or accept a full remodel as the only answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Centralite has been out of business for a long time, so there is no factory warranty or official manufacturer support. That is exactly why specialized integrators matter. Stereo Types remains fully certified to service these systems - troubleshooting, repairs, parts replacement, and modernization - so homeowners are not left without options.
Often we can repair or replace individual components and restore the system. Sometimes a partial or full modernization is smarter - especially if parts are scarce or you want reliable app control. We assess first and recommend the least disruptive path that actually solves the problem.
Yes. Modernizing for app control is one of our most requested services. Depending on your hardware and goals, we can add contemporary control interfaces to the existing system or migrate loads to a supported platform while keeping your wall keypads and wiring where it makes sense.
Not necessarily. A major advantage of working with a team that understands Centralite is that we design replacements to reuse existing wiring, load centers, and keypad locations whenever possible. That avoids much of the costly, messy retrofit wiring work that comes with a blank-slate install.
Contact us for a Centralite assessment. We will review your system, identify what is failing, and outline repair, modernization, or replacement options - with clear pricing and a plan that minimizes disruption to your home. Reach out and we will connect you with the right regional team.
