Lighting has always played a critical role in the quality of life built into our homes and offices. It’s one reason people turn to you as an expert in lighting, whether you’re a contractor, a designer, or a distributor of lighting solutions. In recent years, however, there has been a greater emphasis on natural lighting. Whether at work or at home, people want to tap into natural daylight as much as possible—and bring it into their homes and workplaces.

It’s not surprising. Colors look more natural. Textures seem to show up better. And people just seem to feel better when they’re surrounded by natural light. Of course, there are other benefits as well. Homes and buildings that use more natural light also use less energy. That’s easier on the budget—and on the planet.

Using natural light, however, isn’t without challenges. Natural light can be a little tricky to control. The sun, after all, doesn’t come with a dimmer switch. The good news is that Lutron shading systems can provide your customers with precision control of daylight—at the touch of a button.

Lutron shading systems diffuse daylight and prevent glare from washing out a computer or television screen. Not only are these shading systems easy on the eyes—they help protect household items such as furniture, fine art, rugs, and even wood surfaces, from the sun’s damaging UV rays.

You can offer customers shading systems that will provide energy savings that exceed those found with routine shades. They’ll have their choice of settings. “Winter warm” will open the shades, allowing them to take advantage of sunlight warming a southern façade. A “Summer cool” setting does the opposite—lowering shades and blocking solar heat, which reduces cooling costs.

You don’t have to restrict your shading solution recommendations to a single wall station in the home. Shading systems can be controlled from a variety of keypads, IR remote controls, wireless tabletop controls. You can even offer customers an astronomic time clock option for automatic adjustment of their shades.

Of course, you can also suggest a whole-home shading system that allows simultaneous control of all shades in the house. Homeowners can choose a pre-determined “Away” setting when leaving that will close all shades. Reduce Glare & Protect Furnishings
