	Building Dimmers vs. Building Power Plants

1. Dimming Saves Energy

Dimming saves energy with Lutron systems you can dim all the lights in your home with the touch of a button.
Lutron dimmers are also good for the environment. They save energy and extend the life of your halogen and incandescent bulbs. Longer-lasting bulbs mean fewer are going into landfills, significantly reducing our waste stream.

2. Fluorescent and LED dimming

Lutron dimmers can work with almost any type of light—LED, fluorescent, halogen and incandescent.

Fluorescent and LED lighting are highly efficient, and Lutron can control and dim these lighting sources flawlessly down to 1% with Lutron fluorescent dimming ballasts and LED drivers.

3. Occupancy sensors

Occupancy sensors provide light when needed and save energy when rooms are unoccupied. Occupancy sensors are perfect for interior pathways and exterior lighting areas that require illumination only when someone is present.

4. Daylight sensors

Occupancy sensors provide light when needed and save energy when rooms are unoccupied. Occupancy sensors are perfect for interior pathways and exterior lighting areas that require illumination only when someone is present.

5. HomeWorks® Fan-Speed Control

Complement your system with ceiling fans, which can reduce cooling costs. The HomeWorks Fan-Speed Control provides local quiet speed control of your ceiling fan, and can be controlled as part of the whole-house lighting control system.

6. Shading Solutions

By controlling window shades, drapery tracks, and skylight shades, homeowners can reduce glare and solar heat gain, which reduces cooling costs—all at the touch of a button.

7. Sustainable fabrics

Lutron roller shades are available in a variety of fabric styles, textures, and colors.

Lutron’s sustainable materials are either PVCfree or are 100% recycled. This has allowed some fabrics to receive certification from thirdparty organizations such as GREENGUARD and Oeko-Tex.

8. Green button programming

With the Green setting, you can program keypad buttons to reduce lighting zones by a specific percentage. For example, a green button that is programmed to trim 15% off the light output will save nearly 15% in energy with only a minimal change in the perceived light level in the room.

9. Automated lighting

HomeWorks astronomic time clock turns lights on at sunset and off at sunrise—or at any preset time.

Homeowners can use this feature to create safe pathways and automate dramatic lighting of landscape and architecture. Automated lighting gives you the right amount of light when you need it and energy savings when you don’t.

10. Save energy—even while away

HomeWorks enhanced Vacation Mode records the way lights and shades are used, playing it back while you’re away. This feature creates a powerful crime deterrent by simulating occupancy.

We now offer Vacation Mode Trim, which can be programmed to trim back lighting by an added amount—reducing energy use. It also allows playback of lighting events that happen only at night.
