About Lutron Electronics & Dimmers

The hallmark of Lutron Electronics dimmers is eco-friendly lighting controls to save electricity while retaining functionality. Lutron has been in the business of providing energy saving light control devices for over 50 years. Lutron Electronics started at the end of the 1950s when Joel Spira, a young physicist became fascinated by the concept behind the manipulating light for improving the aesthetic appeal of the surrounding space. Spira invented a solid-state device which would allow users to vary light intensity. It was a revolutionary idea at the time, since control of lighting was complicated and expensive, mandating the use of bulky rheostats using a great deal of energy and generating a lot of heat. Lutron changed this when Spira invented a solid-state dimmer which could take the place of the conventional light switch in a standard wall-box.

Lighting costs account for almost one-fifth of a household’s annual electricity usage- this figure rises to almost two-fifths for commercial establishments.
