Here’s a look at five more rooms where the right lighting system can really make a difference. (Click here to see suggestions you might have missed)

Basement

You never know how your clients will use their basements.  It might be a playroom, a storage area, an entertainment space, or some combination. Whatever they choose, proper light control can make a big difference. Because little or no daylight reaches these spaces, dimmers can help homeowners set the right light level of illumination. And occupancy sensors f ensure that lights are automatically turned off when the room is unoccupied.

For basement applications we recommend the following Lutron solutions:

  • Maestro Wireless
  • Grafik Eye QS
  • RadioRA 2

Child’s Room

Kid’s can get involved in saving energy, too! Encourage parents to install a dimmer in a child’s room that will save energy and extend bulb life. By combining the dimmer with an occupancy or vacancy sensor parents can increase the energy savings by automatically turning lights off when the child’s room is empty.

Include the kids with the following Lutron solutions:

  • Maestro® dimmer with occupancy sensor Diva® dimmer
  • Credenza® lamp dimmer     
Condo/Townhouse

It’s not just people that live in stand-alone residences that are interested in new lighting technologies. Help your clients in condos and townhomes discover sophisticated, stylish control for their lifestyle. Whether they’re interested in the latest technology or the ultimate in elegance, there are control solutions to fit their taste. With intuitive function, clean lines, and the latest color and finish offerings, the possibilities are endlessly attractive.

We recommended the following Lutron solutions:

  • Maestro Wireless
  • Grafik Eye QS
  • RadioRA 2  

Senior Living

Don’t forget the more mature crowd. You can offer them simple, convenient controls that will make tasks easier—and help them feel more secure. From easy-to-use lamp dimmers to IR control of lights and ceiling fans, you can suggest controls to enhance their living space. Occupancy/vacancy sensors ensure lights are turned off automatically when the room is unoccupied. And with a wireless tabletop control, seniors can turn lights on or off from the comfort of their bedside.

Here are the Lutron solutions we recommend for solutions for seniors:

  • Maestro® fan control
  • Maestro Wireless
  • Maestro® dimmer with occupancy sensor

Utility Room

It’s easy to forget about spaces that aren’t used everyday. But even little used spaces need quality controls. And how many times does someone leave a utility room on because they forget about it? Occupancy or vacancy sensors ensure that lights will turn off automatically, saving energy.

Take care of utility room needs with these Lutron solutions:

  • Maestro dimmer with occupancy sensor
  • Radio Powr Savr® - occupancy/vacancy sensor
  • Maestro® timer
