Tell-Tale Signs Your Lighting and Shading System Is Outdated

Discolored or Yellow Wall Plates 

One of the most visible signs of an aging lighting configuration is the discoloration of wall plates. Many start out sleek and white, but these components can turn yellow or fade over time, indicating potential material fatigue that could affect functionality.

Lifestyle Changes

As your household evolves, so do your lighting and shading needs. Perhaps you’ve begun working from home and need to add task lighting for your office, or your family has grown, and you need enhanced lighting in previously less-utilized spaces. Upgrading to a Lutron lighting system ensures these new lifestyle requirements are met with additional functionality, like preset scenes and automation.

Desire to Add Other Smart Home Features 

Suppose you want to integrate additional smart home technologies—such as voice-activated devices or advanced security systems—but your current system is falling short with limited or no integration capabilities. Newer systems offer broader third-party device compatibility.

Experiencing Issues

Frequent malfunctions, such as delays in response or inconsistent performance, can indicate that your system’s technology is failing. Upgrading to a more advanced system can resolve these issues and restore reliability.

Discover the Potential of Lutron

Modernizing your lighting and shading control system to a powerful Lutron system will completely transform how you enjoy your living spaces. A user-centric design creates a seamless experience on the front end with sophisticated, robust technology on the back end. Here’s how it works:

Enhanced Integration 

Modern Lutron systems work flawlessly with an array of other smart home technologies. This integration creates a centralized control hub for all your connected devices! From lighting and shades to security and entertainment systems, even basic lighting systems can manage more devices than simply lights and window treatments.

Superior Customization and Control

Robust Lutron HomeWorks control systems offer advanced customization settings that let you tailor every living space to your liking. Set the perfect ambiance for a dinner party or program shades to lower at sunset for additional privacy. The control is intuitive and extensive.

Improved Energy Efficiency 

With advanced lighting control, you can incorporate automated shades and blinds that adjust according to daylight and dim lights based on room occupancy. This enhances energy efficiency significantly, leading to potential utility bill savings that contribute to a greener, more sustainable household.

Aesthetic Enhancements 

Lutron's latest offerings include sleek, contemporary designs that can elevate the aesthetic of any room. With customizable keypads and designer finishes, these new systems blend seamlessly into any high-end décor.

Future-Proof Technology
