Like IBM in computers, Lutron was an early pioneer in lighting control, inventing the solid-state dimmer in the 1950s. The company has never stopped innovating since, now holding over 3000 patents in every area of lighting control and management. So is Lutron lighting control the safe choice for your Buckhead, GA, home? Of course, but it’s more than just safe. Discover four reasons why Lutron continues to lead the field.
