C4Newbie Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 So I just bought a bunch of dimmers and switches for the house but hate the c4 wallplates. Can anyone suggest some reasonably priced, nice looking wallplates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I think Lutron plates are the most common replacement. We used them throughout and I like them much better than the C4 stock ones. Also, since the C4 ones are single-gang only (afaik) if you have multi-gang groups and want your plates to match, you probably need to switch to something else like Lutron.

RyanE Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Uhm... No.There are multi-gang faceplates for Control4 dimmers and 2/3/6-button keypads.You just don't get them on eBay.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Sorry. That's what the AFAIK (as far as I know) part was for. But single-gang is what came with the switches, so one way or another we were going to end up buying a lot of extra wall plates. And since the outlets were all going to have the Lutron faceplates I thought it looked much better to have the wall switches match the outlets.But at the end of the day I simply think the Lutron plates are nicer looking. They're glossy, brighter, a bit cleaner looking. If someone else prefers C4 ones, though, and wants to buy about 100 of them, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_The_Lucky Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yeah - just got to Home Depot or Lowes and you'll fine some nice screwless plates for a reasonable price. Much quicker than trying to order them through your dealer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM1 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 The Lowes ones are slightly wider than the Home Depot ones, IMO they look better for single-gang setups. Doesn't matter for multigang ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4Newbie Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sorry, Lutron has tons of colors. Anyone know which one matches the C4 white almond?http://www.lutron.com/products/ColorsOfLutron.aspx?pid=Satin&cid=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 White and almond are two different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav-Jason Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sorry, Lutron has tons of colors. Anyone know which one matches the C4 white almond?http://www.lutron.com/products/ColorsOfLutron.aspx?pid=Satin&cid=0Did you mean 'light' almond? Because that is quite popular, around here at least. These under 'Soft Matte Finish' would most likely be close... http://www.lutron.com/products/ColorsOfLutron.aspx?pid=SoftMatte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4Newbie Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I just found out I got the white. So I am guessing;http://www.lutronstore.com/Lutronproductsdetails.aspx?productid=109&Cat=49&EName=Category&SEName=ClaroOf course, I would get them from an online retailer like;http://www.westsidewholesale.com/two-gang-claro-decorator-wallplate-standard-size-white.htmlAnyone agree or disagree?

C4Newbie Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Are the C4 wall plates screwless? Do they come in different configs (for single, double and triple)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 They are screwless. Every switch, dimmer, keypad, etc... comes with a single gang, but you can buy them up to at least a 4 gang, I don't know beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akg4y Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Has anyone used the OnQ/Legrand Studio wallplates? http://www.onqlegrand.com/products/nav=a0f300000007SQ4AAMThey look much nicer but I cant find any *actual* photos of the product, just the stock company images.
