Tips From The Top

Are you looking to expand your smart home’s entire lighting system – in your main home, out buildings, and all exterior spaces?  

Your timing is perfect – because world lighting leader Lutron Electronics has announced its acquisition of Limelight, the innovative wireless outdoor light control solution. Lutron now offers strategic lighting control for any area of your home – inside or outside.

Limelight is a logical addition to the expansive Lutron line, which offers more than 15,000 energy-saving products – from dimmers to total home lighting management systems, sold in more than 100 countries. In the United States alone, Lutron products save an estimated 10 billion kWh of electricity, or approximately $1 billion in utility costs per year.

Developed in 2008 by Twisthink, Limelight’s universal wireless modules are capable of working with any LED fixture. The controls optimize energy use with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, event scheduling, and zoning – resulting in significant, provable energy savings. Maintenance costs also decrease with email alert notifications, fault detection, and remote monitoring.

As a wireless lighting control system, Limelight suits both outdoor and industrial facilities, providing total remote control and management for the user. Besides improving home safety and saving energy, Limelight’s streamlined wireless fixture-level control design ensures code compliance and makes the specification and design process that much more efficient. 

The acquisition builds on a partnership between Lutron and Limelight that was started last year. “Limelight by Lutron was a terrific opportunity to deliver a simplified outdoor lighting solution that was part of a portfolio of indoor and outdoor smart building controls,” said Scott Hanna, Lutron senior vice president, in a public statement. “Acquiring Limelight offers the potential for an even wider range of IoT solutions.”

It’s good news for current Lutron customers, since Limelight integrates data seamlessly into Enterprise Vue, Lutron’s management platform. The platform allows for all the building’s lighting – indoor and outdoor – to be controlled from one dashboard. It also allows the user to monitor and control the lighting for multiple buildings from one single dashboard.

With a Lutron home lighting system, you can now monitor and control the lighting inside your home, guest house, garage, any other buildings, and your entire outdoor space, from one single app.
