Introducing the GLINK: A Smarter, Simpler Way to Take Control of Your Lighting Systems
The need for intelligent building infrastructure is more critical than ever. From office towers to industrial plants and large-scale retail environments, efficient lighting control plays a crucial role in reducing energy costs, maintaining operational consistency, and improving the overall quality of workspaces.
At Genesis Lighting Control, we are proud to introduce the GLINK — a powerful, next-generation lighting control interface designed to revolutionize how facilities around the world manage and monitor their lighting systems. Whether you're upgrading an existing infrastructure or deploying a new system, the GLINK offers the global scalability, reliability, and simplicity that today’s businesses demand.
What Is the GLINK?
The GLINK is a dataline interface that enables global programming, real-time monitoring, and centralized control of lighting automation systems. It serves as the nerve center of your lighting infrastructure, streamlining communication across your panels while eliminating unnecessary hardware and complexity.
Think of the GLINK as your lighting system’s mission control — a compact, desk-mounted device that gives you complete visibility into and command over your lighting network, no matter where you are in the world.
Powerful Features That Set the GLINK Apart
At Genesis Lighting Control, we don’t just design products — we engineer solutions. The GLINK combines powerful capabilities with plug-and-play simplicity, making it ideal for commercial and industrial environments where uptime, energy efficiency, and centralized control are mission-critical.
Here’s what makes the GLINK a game-changer:
1. Built-In Ethernet Network Card
No need for additional comports or complicated setup procedures. The GLINK comes equipped with an integrated Ethernet network card that allows it to be discovered instantly using our supplied software. This simplifies installation and configuration, reducing setup time and IT overhead.
2. Visual System Monitoring
The GLINK provides at-a-glance visual indicators for:
- Power to the Unit
- Online Status
- Dataline Power
- Field Failure
This enables facility managers and technicians to quickly assess system health and respond to issues before they escalate — all without digging through software logs or manuals.
3. Integrated Dataline Power Supply
Unlike many legacy systems that require a separate dataline power supply, the GLINK features a built-in power unit, reducing hardware clutter and simplifying wiring. This is especially valuable for large facilities where minimizing components translates directly into cost savings and fewer points of failure.
4. Centralized Time Clock Synchronization
The GLINK includes a central time clocking function that automatically synchronizes the clocks in all connected Lighting Automation Panels. This ensures consistent scheduling across your facility — critical for managing lighting during off-hours, peak utility times, or compliance with regional energy codes.
Designed for Real-World Conditions
The GLINK is built to perform reliably in demanding commercial environments. With an operating range of 0-55°C (32-131°F) and up to 95% non-condensing humidity, it can be deployed in data centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other challenging settings. And at just 0.5 lbs (0.3 kg), it’s easy to transport, mount, and integrate into your existing infrastructure.
It also supports alarm contact ratings of 2 Amp, 28 VAC, adding an extra layer of integration for facilities with broader building automation systems.
A Smarter Alternative to GE’s RLINK
If you’ve previously relied on the GE RLINK, the GLINK is a natural upgrade — and a significant leap forward in performance and flexibility. With its built-in Ethernet, internal power supply, and enhanced monitoring capabilities, the GLINK represents a technically advanced solution tailored for the next generation of smart buildings.
Whether you're maintaining a single site or managing multiple properties across continents, the GLINK empowers you to control your lighting environment with precision and confidence.
