Enhance Your Home’s Aesthetics While Reducing Energy Consumption

In the late 1950s, lighting control was complicated and expensive, with few homes having the power to control the intensity of their lighting. Then, in 1959, Joel Spira, a physicist, invented the first solid-state dimmer that could replace the light switch. 

These dimmers not only enhanced the home environment but also saved energy. Realizing the future of lighting control and its long-term appeal, Joel and Ruth Spira incorporated Lutron Electronics in 1961, changing how we light our homes forever. 

Let’s explore today’s Lutron dimmer and how it’s transforming lighting control in homes throughout Minnetonka, MN.

The Industry Leader

Due to its continual search for innovative technologies, Lutron remains the industry leader today. Their lighting control systems are in the New York Times Building, the Guggenheim Museum, the White House, and Windsor Castle.

Lutron dimmers provide over 250 lighting levels, creating the ideal illumination regardless of the task. From soft illumination for dining and end-of-the-day relaxing to brighter lights for detailed tasks, each lighting level sets the perfect stage for life’s many activities.

Enhancing a Home’s Aesthetics 

What sets their dimmer apart is its customization capabilities, enabling it to enhance the aesthetics of any home. Lutron dimmers come in up to 27 styles and colors, along with satin and gloss finishes. From traditional to contemporary and neutral to color coordinated, the ideal dimmer exists for your unique property.

For a modern look and intuitive design, the GRAFIK T Dimmer lets you touch the illuminated LED lightbar to set the lights to an appropriate level. Designer styles include the Diva, Luméa, Maestro, Skylark, and Sunnata dimmers. 

The Sunnata dimmer enables lights to fade on and off gradually and provides a soft, adjustable glow so you can see it at night. Like many dimmers, it’s available in gloss or satin finishes, in colors that include brilliant white, black, almond, ivory, cobblestone, deep sea, mist, midnight, sage, slate, signal red, and more.

Architectural styles include the Centurion and Nova dimmers. 

Hybrid keypads are a combination of dimmers and keypads with customizable backlit buttons. These buttons address daily functions and moods, such as ‘Entertain,’ ‘Relax,’ and ‘Dining.’ Press a button to create the ideal lighting for the activity, and tap the up and down arrows to adjust the level.

Managing Light & Electricity

These dimmers are also compatible with the latest dimmable LEDs. These LEDs are energy efficient and, when combined with dimmers, significantly reduce a home’s energy consumption.

According to Lutron, dimmers save up to 9% on electricity compared to on-off switches and extend the bulb life. They set the mood, enhance the ambiance, and take advantage of daylight, increasing a home’s beauty while reducing energy usage.
