COOPERSBURG, PA – Lutron Electronics, the trusted leader in Intelligent Lighting, motorized window treatments, and intuitive control systems, introduces its Native by Design program—a new initiative that natively integrates Lutron technology into best-in-class products from leading luxury brands. Designed with integrators in mind, the program ensures guaranteed reliability, faster commissioning, and the peace of mind that comes with solutions engineered from the start to work flawlessly together.
“Native by Design demonstrates Lutron’s commitment to the integrator community by delivering unmatched experiences for our mutual end clients,” said Ben Bard, Vice President Luxury Residential, Lutron. “By natively integrating Lutron technology into partner products, dealers can offer an elevated experience across more products and applications in the home and in turn, grow their business.”
Addressing Complexity in Luxury Homes
Today’s luxury homes mix disparate products and technologies across lighting, controls, projection screens, motorized window treatments, and more. When these products aren't designed to work together, installations become complex, and performance suffers. Lutron’s Native by Design program eliminates these limitations, giving integrators streamlined access to capabilities such as:
- Natural white light that shifts in color and intensity to mimic sunlight throughout the day, across both interior and exterior lighting
- Decorative and architectural lighting fixtures that produce a broad range of true-to-nature light, allowing you to match a moment to a mood throughout the space
- Intelligent roller shades that use location-aware technology to automatically adjust in response to the position of the sun in the sky
By natively integrating lighting and window treatment technologies, the program streamlines setup, reduces commissioning challenges, and ensures reliable performance for integrators.
