Controlling light, mood and ambience. At Lutron we understand the many advantages of controllable light better than anyone else. We pioneered the idea of dimming back in 1961, when our founder, Joel Spira, invented the first electronic solid-state dimmer. Since then, we have introduced many innovations in lighting controls. Today we have more than 2,000 patents, and more than 15,000 products shipped to 80 countries. This commitment to original, ingenious ideas has made Lutron the first choice for many homeowners, lighting designers, engineers and architects.

Who’s cooking tonight? Bright lights for every task. Sometimes you need good light carefully directed to the task in hand – whether you’re cooking up a stir-fry, writing your presentation or working wonders with an eye pencil. Your lighting can match your own flexibility – with different light levels, for any activity, in the same room.

I want a bit of drama. Dramatic effects for special occasions. Lighting can be quite “theatrical”. For example, when you’re setting the table for a dinner party, the finishing touch is beautiful lighting. And with controllable lighting, you can pick out a painting, or highlight a favourite objet d’art. While outdoors, you can conjure a little magic with lighting for pools and paths.
