Lutron’s DIY Caséta line has come a long way since it launched in 2014 with a single in-wall dimmer and a plug-in lamp dimmer. It was the first smart lighting product to put professional grade lighting control in reach of anyone with a screwdriver. The range now covers smart dimmers, switches and plugs for indoors and out, and the Caseta Smart Hub is what ties them together. So what does the hub actually do, and when do you need one?
This month, Lutron introduced Lumaris—a professional-grade, tunable white LED tape light purpose-built for adding accent and highlight lighting to your RadioRA 3 system. Lumaris is the first-ever LED tape light designed to be part of a Lutron connected lighting control system. Built on the ultra-reliable Lutron Clear Connect-Type X wireless technology, the Lumaris tunable white tape light is a native component within the Lutron platform including controls, apps, programming software, and the Lutron Connect cloud services. An easier way to do tunable white tape light, Lumaris delivers rock-solid reliability and precision performance—perfect for under cabinet, stairs and shelving, mirror edge, and toe kick applications.
