Give Your Clients Control: Smart Light and Shade Systems

We’re now in the weeks between sunscreen and snow boots, watching the leaves turn and prepping our snowblowers.

As the seasons change, we anticipate the dwindling of daylight hours. In places like Ottawa, there can be as much as a seven-hour difference in daylight between winter and summer.

This shift greatly impacts homeowners' comfort, security, and energy consumption.

Now is the perfect time to introduce your clients to light and shade control systems.

Lutron connected home products enable homeowners to create comfortable, efficient, and secure living spaces tailored to their lifestyles in the winter months and beyond.

EECOL is ready to connect contractors and homeowners with Lutron products, helping to find the perfect smart lighting and shading solutions for any project.

Unlock the Power of Personalization

Maximize Daylight, Minimize Costs

Lighting and shade controls help homeowners make the most of sunlight and minimize their reliance on artificial lighting.

During the winter, Lutron’s Sivoia QS Triathlon automated shading systems can be programmed to open as the sun rises and close as the sun goes down to utilize artificial lighting.

In summer, the window coverings can be set to remain closed during the hottest part of the day, keeping homes cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning.

Meanwhile, systems like Lutron’s RadioRA 3 and Caséta can turn off lights automatically when a room is unoccupied or when natural light is sufficient– one less thing you need to worry about when leaving a room.

These products work together to lower electricity bills and reduce environmental impact.

Go the Extra Mile in Security

During winter, homes are left in the dark for longer periods, especially when families are away for the holidays. This can make them more vulnerable to criminal activity.

Lutron’s Caséta and RadioRA 3 systems can be controlled, allowing
homeowners to turn lights on and off remotely.

This helps create the illusion of occupancy, which can deter potential intruders.

Automated shades add another layer of security by closing at specific times to ensure privacy.
Whether in the next room or halfway across the world, your clients can have peace of mind
knowing their home is secure and well-lit.

Shaping the Ideal Atmosphere

In addition to energy savings and security, light and shade control systems enhance the overall comfort and ambiance of a home.

Lutron’s Caséta and RadioRA 3 systems allow users to create custom lighting scenes that can transform a space to match the mood or activity.

Homeowners can utilize the Sivoia QS Triathlon shades to manage glare and control natural
light for added comfort.

Whether you need bright, energizing light to kickstart your day or a dim, cozy setting for movie night, the perfect setting is just a button away.
