Lighting control: orchestrating light

The story begins in 1950. In an improvised laboratory, a young physicist named Joel Spira became interested in the aesthetics of light and, after several attempts, invented a device that could progressively adjust the intensity of a lamp. Nine years later, the residential rheostat was born. The simple idea caught on, and in 1961, when Joel and his wife Ruth founded Lutron, they knew that this technological advance could be useful for our future societies in terms of lighting control. We are already familiar with standard switches for turning a light fixture on and off. Since then, technology has evolved. Light dimmers are elegant, useful, and practical, helping to reduce expenses and even adding a new dimension to lighting control. Imagine lighting control that surpasses your expectations. Because we know you appreciate quality and innovative products, we thought we'd offer you Lutron Caséta Wireless. Lutron, a leader in lighting intensity control systems, is the perfect companion for the smart home.

Stage the lighting in your home

Use darkness as your canvas and light as your color. If you wish, simultaneously adjust the lighting atmospheres of several rooms in the house according to your activities or the time of day. You now have the ability to transform your space by expertly and sophisticatedly playing with shadow and light. Use the different components of the Caséta system and become the master of your lighting:

Lighting control at your fingertips

From a single location in the house, or from your car or office, turn lights on, off, or vary their intensity. You can take control of the lighting in a single room or your entire home with a simple press of your finger on your Pico remote control. The Pico remote also allows you to replace and remotely control a three-way system without rewiring. Simply mount the Pico remote on the wall, install a decorative plate, and you're all set.

Control lighting at the right time

[two_third] To feel more comfortable, wherever you are, thanks to the Caséta app and a Smart Bridge, you can activate dimmers using your smartphone or tablet. The app can also be used as a timer to follow sunrise and sunset when you're away. It works with AppleMD Homekit, Apple WatchMD, and Siri MD. Never walk into a dark house again; a remote can be kept in your car or bag, and the Pico remote has a range of 9 m (30 ft). Remote dimmer switches allow you to easily program the opening or closing of all light fixtures, the gradual dimming of children's bedroom lights, or expertly adjust the lighting of the kitchen countertop. The wireless lighting control system is used to give character and ambiance to a room according to your desires. [/two_third] [one_third_last] [/one_third_last]
