Designers have known about the wide array of colors Lutron offers in
their popular Maestro line of dimmers, switches, wallplates and other devices
for years. Installing Lutron devices in a home that match the color and style
of a decor can help bring together the overall design cohesion of a space. Now,
with the availability of the new line of occupancy and vacancy sensing dimmers
and switches in this same color-coordinated palette, Lutron has brought a new
breed of energy-saving devices to the design community.
The new devices include a
vacancy-sensing dimmer, an
occupancy-sensing dimmer, a
vacancy-sensing switch and an
occupancy-sensing
switch. The difference between the occupancy and the vacancy-sensing devices is
that the occupancy sensor will turn the lights on when occupancy is detected,
and then shut them off after a space is vacated, whereas the vacancy-sensing
device will not turn the lights on automatically. The switch or dimmer control
button must be pressed to turn the lights on, and then the device will shut the
lights off after the space is vacated. Vacancy-sensing devices can maximize
energy savings because the lights are not turned on unless really needed.
