According to the US Department of Energy, an energy efficient home is designed with state-of-the-art construction and renewable energy systems. Despite the early growth of smart home technologies, its widespread success hinges on addressing the emerging challenges like interoperability, usability, and cybersecurity. This has been an area that has been painstakingly addressed by Lutron Electronics since decades.
Dating back to 1959, the founder of Lutron Electronics, Joel S.Spira, invented a dimmer based on a diode and a tapped auto transformer, saving energy and allowing the dimmer to be installed in a standard electrical wall-box. Although a lighting dimmer existed at the time, it was expensive, complicated and far too big and bulky for use in homes and offices. Spira successfully manipulated a thyristor, a solid-state semiconductor small enough to fit into the wall box that housed a standard light switch. On the basis of the dimmer alone, he founded Lutron Electronics in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1961.
The privately held firm has today grown into an international manufacturer and distributor not only of dimmers but also of comprehensive lighting automation, motorised shades and temperature controls solutions. Its India headquarter houses an experience and service center supporting four continents Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe. Lutron by far remains preferred solution provider for most of the projects in Luxury Residential, Hotels and Commercial segments across the
country.
"Lutron has always been the pioneer in lighting controls. The company offers the most comprehensive range of lighting control products in the market, from single dimmers to architectural systems which can control the whole building"
“Lutron has always been the pioneer in lighting controls. The company offers the most comprehensive range of lighting control products in the market, from single dimmers to architectural systems which can control the whole building or even whole campus with 24/7 technical support,” states, Ripu Daman Sharma, Country Manager Sales, India Subcontinent. Lutron provides flexible, scalable systems that can fully integrate lighting, shading, and sensors for maximum energy savings. These solutions can be easily designed, installed and reconfigured to meet the changing needs of buildings and projects. The payback time varies according to the project requirements and the types of products used. Lutron light control solutions provide savings in Lighting energy, HVAC energy, Lamp life extension, Cabling and labor cost(for wireless solution), and reduction in operation and maintenance cost. Such Smart lighting typically includes occupancy sensors that turn lights off when spaces are unoccupied and daylight dimming controls that adjust light levels based on available daylight. Saving energy automatically translates to increased ROI. Lutron also offers building solutions to allow facility managers to conveniently manage both electric light and daylight right from their desktop.
Lutron believes in innovation while striving to come up with unique products to meet the growing Lighting automation requirements of the residential and commercial segment. Such high craftsmanship is aided with the fact that Lutron aids the manufacturers by working with different industry partners to make sure its lighting controls can integrate seamlessly with popular products and software in the market. Lutron has come up with a connecting bridge, a smart box which works seamlessly with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa to realize remote control of lights, shades, and music via voice commands or smart devices.
