Lutron Electronics

Founded in 1961, Lutron Electronics is the world's leading manufacturer of lighting control products. From dimmers for the home, to lighting management systems for entire buildings, the company offers more than 15,000 energy-saving products, sold in more than 100 countries. In the US alone, Lutron products save an estimated 10 billion kWh of electricity, or approximately $1 billion in utility costs per year.

Lutron is a global organisation committed to delivering value to its customers. We developed the first solid state dimmer. Today, we continue to develop innovative, energy-saving lighting control solutions that provide flexibility, ambiance, and comfort in residential and commercial applications. Lutron offers a range of energy savings solutions. Our products and systems are easily installed in either new construction or existing buildings and expandable from a single room to an entire building or campus. These expandable solutions provide a range of energy saving strategies.

On the commercial side, light controls are essential in hotels, restaurants, retail stores, conference facilities, educational facilities, hospitals, museums, and public spaces. Lutron light control systems beautify some of the world’s most prestigious public locations: the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; and the Bank of China headquarters in Beijing, to name just a few.

On the residential side, light controls are installed everywhere from single-room apartments to palatial homes, including the White House and Windsor Castle. Individual dimmers create a cozy atmosphere at the touch of a button, or can be operated from the car to turn lights on as you approach the house. Groups of dimmers can be operated remotely from a cell phone, PDA, laptop, iPod, touch screen, or universal remote control.

Lutron solutions do more than just control the light in a space. With the right design strategies, they can improve productivity, save substantial amounts of energy, and reduce operating costs. Compared to standard light switches, Lutron light management solutions save energy while creating inviting, comfortable, and productive spaces – making light greener and better. Since 1961, Lutron has led the effort to create elegant lighting solutions that enhance the spaces where we work and live. From the beginning, we have dedicated ourselves to developing and supporting products that are renowned not just for their reliability and their innovative style and function, but also for their energy saving benefits.

Lutron’s success is the result of its long history of innovation, beginning with its founder’s successful commercialization of the solid-state dimmer switch used to dim lamps (a generic term for light bulbs of many varieties). After more than fifty years, Lutron remains a leading innovator and the world’s industry leader in controlling natural and artificial light. Lutron is a company built on a belief in taking care of the people: customers, employees, and the community. We innovate in advance of market needs and continually improve our quality, our delivery, and our value.
