Lutron was founded in 1961 by Joel Spira, who invented the solid-state electronic dimmer, and remains family-owned in Pennsylvania. It designs lighting controls and automated shading for homes and commercial buildings.
Lutron position themselves around light control, from single-room dimmers to whole-building systems such as Quantum, Athena and Vive. Their systems coordinate electric light with daylight, using automated blinds and occupancy sensing to reduce energy use while keeping spaces comfortable.
Lutron suits premium offices and hospitality, where reliability and the quality of the lighting experience matter as much as energy savings.
