The Benefits of a Lutron Lighting Control System
Over 60 years ago, Lutron began when Joel Spira invented the first solid-state dimmer. Today, due to their profound impact, you can find several of Lutron’s innovations in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
You can also find their lighting system in The New York Times Building. Lutron’s advanced technology sets target light levels and turns lights off when not in use. It harvests daylight through automated shades and dims lights when daylight is present. Thanks to this advanced system, the 52-story building lowers electricity use by 70%, saving $600,000 and reducing 3,300 tons of carbon emissions annually.
Automated Illumination
Thanks to sensors and advanced programming, the system automatically manages natural and electric light. In the morning, it raises the shades and slowly brightens specific lights. A “Winter Warm” setting opens the Southern-facing shades. When direct sunlight bears down on furniture and floors, the shades close, and in response, your interior lights brighten.
Of course, sometimes, the simplest things have the biggest impact. Tapping the away button as you leave lowers the shades and turns off the lights. Did you hear a noise go bump in the night? Pick up the touchscreen on the bedside table and illuminate your outdoor lights.
Managing Your Lighting from Anywhere
You can manage your home’s lighting from touchscreens, remotes, keypads, and your voice. Press a button, and your blackout shades lower in the media room while the lights dim, creating the ideal setting for movie night.
Are you getting home later than anticipated? Pull up the Lutron App on your smartphone and turn on the landscape and entryway lights.
Breathtaking Beauty
In 2018, Lutron acquired Ketra, a highly advanced LED lighting system. This system offers stunning illumination, with high-performance LED lights in millions of hues and intensities. With Lutron’s controls and Ketra’s brilliance, your home lighting takes on a new dimension. Whether entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying a meal, the ideal lighting appears with one touch or voice command.
The system also offers Natural Light, a setting that prompts your lights to mimic the transformation of the sun. In the morning, your lights resemble the dawn. By evening, they capture the colors and intensities of a setting sun.
This lighting resets your biological time clock, timed to the rise and fall of the sun. In response, you feel more energized during the day and enjoy a more restful sleep at night.
