Lutron Electronics, specialist in light control, will be showing products from its new Energy Suite alongside its renowned residential systems for the first time at ISE 2010. The company's newly launched fully scalable Energy Suite, has been developed to offer significant energy saving potential and sustainability in both new and retrofit commercial and residential spaces.
Lutron's Energy Suite is fully scaleable and can control light levels and usage across multiple floors, whole buildings and entire campuses throughout corporate, industrial and public sector facilities, depending on an organisations specific requirements. Some of the commercial products included in the Energy Suite that will be on show at ISE include Lutron's new Radio Powr Savr and Rania Wireless RF Switch, the GRAFIK Eye (DALI) QS Wireless (multi-zone control unit) and Lutron's Energi Savr Node QS.
Lutron's new Radio Powr Savr and Rania Wireless RF Switch, is an innovative, wireless sensor and switch designed for easy installation. Designed to provide optimum savings by automatically turning the lights off when a space such as a conference room, small office, staffroom, classroom or cloakroom is unoccupied, the Radio Powr Savr occupancy/vacancy sensor requires no wiring and can be installed in a matter of minutes.
GRAFIK Eye QS (DALI) Wireless also forms part of Lutron's Energy Suite of products and is a preset light and shade control system which allows for the easy adjustment of lights and shades in any commercial space. The system can connect directly to Lutron's Sivoia QS shades solution and Lutron's Radio Powr Savr wireless occupancy/vacancy sensors, or traditional wired sensors as well as DALI compliant output devices. This enables seamless integration and facilitates installation, reducing costs further and allowing the range to be easily retrofitted within existing buildings. It can also be integrated into third party devices for control of AV, HVAC and touch panel controls as well as Lutron's Quantum total light management solution, for whole-building light control.
Lutron's Energi Savr Node QS controls light by connecting occupancy sensors, daylight sensors and wallstations to DALI (digitally addressable light interface) ballasts. Additional Energi Savr Node QS modules can be linked together to allow integrated control of several floors. The system is totally scalable as it can be linked to Lutron's Quantum solution for whole-building light management.
Also on the stand at ISE will be Lutron's renowned range of residential electric light and daylight control solutions including HomeWorks, GRAFIK Eye QS, Sivoia QS and the newly launched Pico.
HomeWorks
Visitors to ISE will be able to see the company's renowned HomeWorks light control system in action, which provides convenient, reliable operation of lighting and other home electronics from keypads throughout the home. The advanced light control system's enhanced capabilities bring unprecedented flexibility, power and versatility to home light control and streamline interactive connections with other home systems. In addition, Homeworks whole-home lighting control system can now be accessed and controlled via Apple iPhone and iPod Touch devices.
GRAFIK Eye QS
Lutron's GRAFIK Eye QS includes an advanced user interface for ease of programming and scene setting and automatic control of as many as three groups of Lutron Sivoia QS motorised blinds. From a wall-mounted control or an infrared, wireless remote control, the GRAFIK Eye QS can transform a room into a number of natural or artificially lit scenes that have been pre-programmed into the system. For monitoring energy consumption levels, the GRAFIK Eye QS also includes a display screen that enables the user to see light levels and energy savings achieved in each zone as the lamps are dimmed.
Sivoia QS
Lutron's Sivoia QS wired and wireless versions employ natural light control technologies, allow for seamless integration of electric light and daylight without the use of additional interfaces. Blinds and lights can be controlled together through Lutron's GRAFIK Eye QS or via seeTouch QS keypads. This next generation of ultra-quiet, precision control for Lutron Shading Solutions enhances design, and adds flexibility at any stage of a project.
Pico
Lutron's new Pico Wireless Control will be on show at ISE. This lightweight handheld remote is flexible and easy to use and allows the user to control Lutron's Sivioia QS Wireless shades and curtains and GRAFIK Eye QS wireless. The Pico can function as a tabletop control on a pedestal, a lightweight handheld remote, or it can be wall-mounted within a Lutron faceplate, to mimic a traditional keypad. The battery operated control requires no external power or communication wiring.
Andrew Bechgaard, head of marketing Europe at Lutron comments: "ISE provides us with a fabulous opportunity to show the increasing potential that light control solutions offer to those looking to install stylish energy saving technology. Not only does our Energy Suite offer users improved comfort and productivity within a commercial environment but it also saves energy. Due to the scalability of our residential and commercial light control offerings, we will be using ISE to show how there is a tailored solution to suit every commercial and residential installation."
