Lighting

Create customised scenes that adjust multiple circuits instantly — from bright functional lighting to soft evening ambience.

Motorised Blinds & Shading

Automated blinds respond to:

  • Time of day

  • Sun position

  • Temperature

  • Manual scene selection

Improving comfort, privacy and energy efficiency.

Whole-Home Integration

Lutron integrates seamlessly with systems such as Control4, allowing lighting, audio, security and climate to work together.

Lutron Lighting Control Systems

A Lutron lighting system allows multiple lighting circuits and blinds to be managed from a single, intelligent platform.

Rather than controlling lights individually, the system enables:

  • Scene-based lighting control
  • Automated schedules
  • Integration with blinds and shading
  • Centralised or wireless control

Each system is designed specifically for the property, ensuring reliable performance and intuitive day-to-day use.

Lutron in Smart Home Systems

Lutron is often used as part of a wider smart home system, forming the foundation for lighting and shading control.

When integrated with platforms such as Control4, your home can respond intelligently to how you live.

Examples include:

  • Lighting scenes working alongside audio and media

  • Automated “Away” modes controlling lighting and security

  • Whole-home control from a single interface

This creates a seamless smart home system rather than a collection of disconnected devices.

Design & Aesthetics

One of Lutron’s defining features is its design refinement.

Instead of banks of switches, you have:

  • Elegant engraved keypads

  • Architectural metal finishes

  • Minimal matte styles

  • Clean, consistent wall aesthetics

Lighting control becomes part of the interior design, not an afterthought.

Why Lutron over standard smart lighting?

There is a significant difference between consumer smart bulbs and a professionally designed and installed Lutron system.

Lutron offers:

  • Dedicated communication technology (not reliant on home WiFi performance)

  • Extremely high reliability

  • Long-term manufacturer support

  • Clean electrical integration

  • Expandability without replacing hardware

For clients building or renovating to a high standard, this level of robustness is essential.

What is a Lutron lighting control system?

A Lutron lighting system allows multiple lights and blinds to be controlled together from a single interface. Instead of individual switches, you can create scenes, automate schedules and manage lighting throughout your home more efficiently.

Do you install Lutron systems in Plymouth and Devon?

Yes, Uni-Lec provides Lutron installation services across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall. We work on new builds, renovations and extensions, designing systems tailored to each property.

Can Lutron be installed in existing homes?

Yes. Lutron offers wireless systems that are ideal for existing homes and renovations. These can be installed with minimal disruption while still providing full lighting and shading control.

Does Lutron have a mobile app?

Yes. The Lutron App gives you full control of your lighting and shading system. You can manage individual rooms, activate scenes and make quick adjustments from your phone or tablet.

Can Lutron work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home?

Yes. Lutron systems can integrate with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, allowing you to control lighting and blinds using simple voice commands.

Are Lutron blinds worth it?

Lutron motorised blinds, often referred to as automated window treatments, provide precise control over natural light, privacy and glare. When integrated with lighting, they help improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home.

Is Lutron better than standard smart lighting?

Lutron systems are professionally installed and use dedicated communication technology rather than relying on WiFi. This makes them significantly more reliable and better suited to whole-home control compared to standard smart lighting products.

Does Lutron help with energy efficiency?

Yes. By automatically adjusting lighting and blinds throughout the day, Lutron systems can reduce unnecessary energy usage and improve overall comfort within the home.

What is Lutron HomeWorks?

Lutron HomeWorks is Lutron’s flagship lighting and shading control system, designed for large homes and high-end projects. It uses a centralised, hard-wired approach to deliver precise control, maximum flexibility and a clean, uncluttered finish throughout the property.

How does Lutron work within a full home automation system?

Within a home automation system or smart home platform, Lutron handles lighting and blinds while the wider platform brings everything together.

This allows features such as:

  • Lighting scenes triggered with music or TV

  • Automated “Away” modes controlling multiple systems

  • Whole-home control from a single interface

The result is a fully integrated smart home system rather than separate, disconnected devices.
