Your home isn’t just a place; it’s a statement—a reflection of your lifestyle, your values, and your commitment to excellence. In this pursuit of perfection, every detail matters, especially when it comes to the systems that control your environment.
Enter the Lutron PD8-PNL-8-SUB DIN Rail Retrofit Subplate—a game-changer for those who demand the best in home automation. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a transformation that brings your lighting control system into the modern era, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
Elevate Your Home with Lutron’s PD8-PNL-8-SUB
The Lutron PD8-PNL-8-SUB is designed for homeowners who already have Lutron’s remote power panels, such as the HWI-PNL-8, HWAP-8D, or HWBP-8D. These panels have served well over the years, but technology has advanced, and so should your home. This retrofit subplate allows you to replace outdated Remote Power Modules (RPMs) with Lutron’s latest DIN rail power modules (DPMs), bringing your system up to date with current standards and capabilities.

- Ease of Installation: Comes with a QS wire landing board and QS link wiring harness, simplifying the integration process.
- Thermal Performance: Tested for optimal performance in environments ranging from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
- Design: Constructed from 16-gauge galvanized sheet metal with a coated metal cover featuring ventilation holes, ensuring durability and proper airflow.
