Lutron RadioRA 3 Is a Game Changer in Lighting Control

Lutron is the world leader in lighting control solutions in both residential and commercial markets. Unlike other companies constantly churning out new products every year, Lutron tends to take more time introducing new technology and products.

Does that mean Lutron isn't innovative? The company that invented the modern solid-state dimmer doesn't rest on its laurels. But it also recognizes that people expect lights to just work. No one needs fancy lighting scenes that don't work consistently or light switches that take a second to turn on a light. Lutron is all about reliable, simple, fast operation. When you invest in a lighting control system for your Woodstock, GA home, you’re going to have it for years, and it has to work all the time.

Indeed, the company’s popular RadioRA 2 system was around for many years. A system that could manage medium to very large homes, it was a popular and rock-solid solution. But now there’s a new, upgraded system, Lutron RadioRA 3. Why is it a big deal to Lutron dealers and technology integrators like GHT Group? Find out more by reading below.

You’ll Never Want to Return to Regular Lighting

Lighting control is one of the most popular smart home accouterments, and for very good reasons. But those reasons will vary greatly depending upon people’s needs and motivations. For some, it’s the convenience of having more than one way to control lights, like from a smartphone or through a voice assistant. For others, a schedule or sensor that turns off lights brings efficiency and energy savings.

Perhaps the best reason for going with a whole-home lighting control system – and not just one room or a few lights – is all of the above. Each reason is justification enough for lighting control for a Milton, GA home, but it becomes so easy to rationalize when putting them all together. See what we mean below!

Ditch the Lowly Light Switch for Beautiful, Smart Lighting

Most larger homes have a significant amount of built-in lighting. There are recessed downlights, niche lights, under-counter lighting, accent lights, switched plugs for lamps, and much more. All those lights add up to lots of switches. In the design trade, too many wall switches are sometimes called "wall acne."

Needless to say, no one likes acne. But there is a way to ditch those switches and replace them with lighting controls that not only meld with your décor but also become a stylish part of it. Replacing your switches with an intelligent whole-home lighting control system and smart keypads will make it so much easier to manage your Duluth, GA home’s illumination.
