Here’s a look at five more rooms where the right lighting system can really make a difference. (Check out Part 1 and Part 2 of this series for additional ideas)

New Home

Homeowners that are building new homes are particularly interested in lighting systems that can make their new home comfortable and uniquely theirs. You can help them personalize their new space with the latest in style, color, and functionality. Show them how to enhance rooms with innovative lighting controls that meet the needs of each space. And help them make their home unique by controlling lights with sleek keypads and accessories, and automated shades and drapes that coordinate with the décor. You can even show them how to add temperature control to their system to save energy and increase comfort.

We recommended the following Lutron solutions for new homes”

  • Sivoia QS
  • RadioRA 2
  • HomeWorks  

Remodeling/Retrofit

Homeowners that are remodeling can easily add function and ambiance to any room by replacing existing switches with dimmers. You can suggest updates for any room in the home to add style, convenience and energy savings. Adding temperature control to the system will increase their comfort l and energy savings.

For remodels we recommended the following Lutron solutions:

  • Recommended Solutions
  • Maestro Wireless
  • Sivoia QS Wireless
  • RadioRA 2         

Single Rooms

When you recommend single-room solutions, you allow your customers to effortlessly adjust lighting and save energy. Switches, wall plates, phone, and cable jacks come in a variety of coordinating colors to match any décor.

For single room solutions we recommended:

  • Satin Colors®
  • eco-home®
  • Maestro Wireless       

Multi-room

Open floor plans and master suites can really take advantage of wireless controls. Homeowners can create a safe and secure pathway from the kitchen to the family room. You may also want to suggest that a homeowner transform the master bed and bath into a relaxing retreat. Show them how multi-room control can make the space more intuitive and personalized to their lifestyle.

For multi-room applications, we recommend:

  • Maestro Wireless
  • HomeWorks
  • RadioRA 2

Whole Home

One of the most impressive—and impactful—suggestions you can make ifyou’re your customers to consider whole home solutions. They’ll be able to control the lights, shades and temperature throughout their entire home. With the simple touch of a button, they can automatically raise and lower shades to add privacy, protect furnishing, and adjust the temperature. They’ll have the ability to adjust the lights in the whole home with a hand-held remote, a wall-mounted keypad, or tabletop control. And they can control the temperature from keypads, mobile devices—and even the time clock. Let them know how they can save energy on HVAC use with the eco button. And everything works together seamlessly—integrating with other whole home systems such as A/V and security for a complete solution.

For whole home solutions we recommended:

  • Sivoia QS Wireless
  • HomeWorks
RadioRA 2
