What Makes Better Dimming? 

A simple Google search will tell you one indisputable fact: incandescent lights are the best at dimming. That’s right, the old-fashioned light bulbs you screw into a socket are still the best at what they do -- but not much else.

Incandescent lights burn out quickly and use a ton of energy. That’s why they run so hot! So, many homeowners are turning to LED systems. LEDs are much more versatile than incandescents, featuring lifespans up to 20 years and low-energy output that helps you manage expenses.

They also boast native hue-changing abilities, so with the right control system, you can even change your lights' color!

But with the advanced electronics illuminating your home, you’ll need a system that can take advantage of their abilities. Lutron sports the latest features you’ll need, and one of the most important is dimming.

Why? Because dimming your lights can change how you feel about your home and how you react to inputs. Unlike many systems, Lutron lights dim as low as 0.5 percent to as high as 100 percent. That means you can ensure the exact right amount of light anywhere in your home, no matter what time of day it is.

Dimming and Tunable Lights

Among the most popular advancements in home technology is tunable lighting. Lutron's recent acquisition of Ketra has helped them become a leader in the field. Tunable adjusts the light's intensity, not the brightness, so your eyes and brain react naturally to changes throughout the day, as they would change in sunlight.

In other words, when the sun is high in the sky, the light it seems to give off is clear and bright. Toward sunset, it seems to change to a deeper red or orange. These changes signal to you that it's time for bed. However, in today's modern, fast-paced, and (mostly) well-lit era of technology, many homeowners don't get to enjoy the effects of less intense light. Instead, static illumination from their out-of-date systems keeps them up well into the night.

Like Ketra, tunable systems gradually and automatically adjust the intensity of the light throughout the day, creating the same effect as changing sunlight.

This adjustment is separate from dimming, but you can combine both functions with an easy-to-use lighting control system from Lutron.
