Lutron Electronics’ Eco-Home line of products makes it easier to put energy-saving lighting into homes. The suite includes some handy basics that you can mix and match in your houses:
eco-dim dimmers: This line of dimmers guarantees a minimum reduction in energy consumption of 15% and an increase in light bulb life by at least three times when replacing a standard switch. This is achieved by setting the maximum light output to 85% instead of 100% brightness, a barely perceptible change to the human eye.
eco-minder dimmers: These dimmers feature an LED display that provides the user with instant feedback when they are saving at least 15% energy and extending bulb life by three times, allowing them to see as they save. The eco-minder reminds users to dim their lights to reduce energy consumption.
Maestro Dimmer with Occupancy/Vacancy Sensor: This new product takes the company’s Maestro dimmer and adds an unobtrusive sensor to the design. Equipped with Lutron’s XCT detection technology that detects fine motion, the sensor ensures that the lights stay on when the room is occupied and are off when the room is not in use.
eco-timer: This product automatically turns fans or lights off after a set period of time. With the Maestro eco-timer, you can set a countdown time of as short as one minute or up to 30 minutes. The timer cannot be overridden to remain on which guarantees the fan or lights will always turn off. The LED lights on the side of the eco-timer move every five minutes as time winds down, indicating to the user approximately how much time is remaining.
