residential commercial lighting systems remodelWhether you’re a distributor, a contractor, or designer that specifies what lighting goes into a new build or remodel—to somebody, you’re “the lighting person” and they look to you for answers about residential and commercial lighting.  Particularly in residential situation people don’t realize how much light matters in the various rooms of their home. Here’s how you can help them “see the light.” And that’s just good business for you!

Automated light control systems can make a dramatic enhancement to someone’s lifestyle, improve their comfort, add convenience and save them energy. Here’s a look at five rooms where the right lighting system can really make a difference.

Home Theater/Family Room

People want to relax and enjoy their home entertainment. With a light and shade control system, a wall dimmer, or a wireless control, you can turn their family room into a home theater experience. They can dim their lights to the perfect level, recreating that moment when the lights go down and the show begins.

To make that happen we recommend the following Lutron solutions:

  • GRAFIK Eye® QS
  • RadioRA® 2
  • Sivoia® QS Wireless                      

Home Office

Homeowners want to make work time more enjoyable and productive. Help them make their home office more efficient with control of lights and shades. Let them easily dim lamps or overhead lights for any task and control natural light to reduce glare on their computer screens by adjusting the height of their window shades at the touch of a button.

To create those effects we recommend the following Lutron solutions:

  • Maestro® Dimmer
  • RadioRA 2
  • Sivoia QS Wireless                      

Patio

Help your clients make a smooth transition from day to evening on their patio with automated system controls or a hand held wireless remote. They’ll be able to effortlessly turn the lights on when the sun goes down.

With the use of dimmers or a total control system, your customers can make their kitchen a flexible space for cooking, dining, entertaining, or even doing homework.

Give them the tools to adjust light levels for different activities: from game night to entertaining guests, and from watching TV together, to reading quietly. They’ll need wall dimmers, keypads and wireless controls to ensure the right light is never far away.
