When we talk about home lighting systems, we are talking about a family of Lutron products that have the ability to automate the lighting on a whole-house level.  Home lighting control systems differentiate themselves from home lighting controls in this respect, because one may theoretically use lighting controls in only a single room, and not the entirety of the house per se.  Such a strategy is rare however, in residential areas, because today’s homeowner tends to expect a great deal more from his or her residence than the homeowner of 30 years ago. Most clients of Lutron vendors like ILD opt to implement a comprehensive home lighting system that will give them one-touch control of everything both within and around the house.  Depending on the size and age of the house, there are three Lutron home lighting system options from which a client can choose.
 
Lutron HomeWorks® Control Systems
Lutron HomeWorks® is a well-known and popular home lighting system that has seen a great deal of popularity and success.  Lutron HomeWorks features conditional logic that allows the home lighting system to be programmed for intuitive behavior.  For example, the HomeWorks home lighting system can sense when it is beginning to get dark outside and turn on the architectural and landscape lights automatically.  Many people feel more secure with this feature, as the lights are still on when they leave for work in the morning and have already come on by themselves when they return home at night.

This level of sophistication and comfort is accomplished by a combination of programming and light sensitive sensors that enable the home lighting system to “sense” changes in external lighting.  Interior lights, meanwhile, can be preset using Lutron GRAFIK Eye or Spacer System controls to come on at the push of a button.  These effects can be further enhanced by integrating controls with various other aspects of home automation, including whole house audio and home theater integration.

Lutron RadioRA® Dimming Systems
Some older homes cannot be fitted with the latest home lighting systems due to the fact that older wiring will have to be replaced completely for newer home automation and lighting control technology to work.  For these clients, ILD recommends Lutron’s RadioRA home lighting system.  This system requires no new wiring for installation, and proves ideal for older historic homes and larger homes built in the late 70’s, 80’s, and early 90’s. 

The RadioRa is intended to seamlessly integrate with any floor plan and unobtrusively blend into interior structures and architecture.  RadioRA home lighting systems use wireless, RF radio signals to communicate instead of wires.  They can be configured to control a portion of the homes fixtures, specific groupings of fixtures, or the entire indoor and outdoor lighting system within and around the house.  RadioRA can also remotely control home security lighting from your car visor with the push of a button, or manipulate lights around the deck or pool outside via hand-held remotes.  Aficionados of eclectic home-based entertainment and cinema particularly value this benefit, as it enables them to a party at home that is better than nightlife any night of the week.

Lutron AuroRa® Wallbox Controls
This is Lutron's newest innovation in home lighting and home automation systems.  It expands the previous wireless technology of the RadioRA into new frontiers of comfort, intuitive control, and advanced electrical installations.  With the AuroRa system, you can press a button to create a safe path of light to, through and around the home with wireless control of 5 areas of outdoor lighting.  One of the biggest advantages AuroRa offers the eclectic homeowner is pre-programmed capability.  The system literally works straight out of the Lutron factory box.

The AuroRa system truly takes a whole house approach to lighting, unifying the functionality of indoor and outdoor lighting into an intuitive, user friendly command interface.  This home automation system can do everything from raise and lower outdoor lighting at dawn and twilight, turn off exterior lights at midnight, activate preset landscaping themes for weddings, birthday parties, and family gatherings, and light a path to the front door when you get home late at night.

Inside, the AuroRa home lighting system can open and close shades to control such things as light pollution and energy conservation, sequence different lighting scenes automatically, and turn on any light or group of lights inside the home instantly with the push of a button.  Every activity ranging from dining, movie watching, television, games, and social interaction can have its own specific, supportive lighting theme for optimal mood stimulation and mental focus.
