Ketra Tunable White
Light That Follows the Sun
Ketra fixtures produce the full spectrum of natural white light and shift automatically throughout the day. Energizing cool white in the morning. Warm amber in the evening. No manual adjustment needed.

Motorized Shading
Palladiom Shading — Invisible Luxury
Lutron's Palladiom hardware disappears into your architecture. Whisper-quiet motors. Precision fabric positioning. Integrated with your lighting scenes so one keypad press adjusts both light and shade.
When you press "Good Morning," the shades rise, the lights warm up, and the house wakes with you. When you press "Movie Night," everything closes and dims instantly. No manual adjustment. No apps.

Our Process
How Lutron Gets Installed
Every system is designed before a single dimmer is ordered.
Consultation
We review your floor plan, discuss the scenes that matter to you, and select the right Lutron system — HomeWorks QSX or RadioRA 3 — based on your home's size and complexity.
Load & Fixture Audit
Every light fixture is checked for dimmer compatibility. We specify the correct Lutron dimmer for every load — LED, incandescent, low-voltage — ensuring flicker-free, smooth dimming from 100% down to 0.1%.
Rough-In
Low-voltage cabling routed to all keypad locations. Neutral wires confirmed at every switch box. Conduit installed for future expansion. All done during construction before drywall closes.
Programming
Keypad buttons labeled, LED indicator colors assigned, and scenes programmed through Composer Pro. We tune scenes until they feel right — not just technically correct.
Handover
We walk through every scene together until it's second nature. Your interior designer reviews keypad finishes in context. Post-handover scene adjustments are one call away.

Common Questions
Lutron Lighting Answers
What is the difference between Lutron HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3?
HomeWorks QSX is Lutron's flagship system for large luxury homes — it supports thousands of devices, native Ketra integration, and the full Palladiom keypad line. RadioRA 3 is our standard recommendation for most homes: wireless Clear Connect Type X protocol, excellent reliability, and a lower entry point. We specify HomeWorks for complex custom builds and RadioRA 3 for everything else. Call us at (902) 405-1475 to discuss which is right for your project.
Can Lutron lighting be added to an existing home, or does it require new construction?
Both. RadioRA 3 is a wireless system that retrofits into existing homes without rewiring — standard switches and dimmers are replaced in place. For new construction, we add neutral wires and low-voltage cabling during rough-in. Most retrofit installs complete in 1–2 days. Request a consultation →
Do Lutron dimmers work with LED bulbs?
Yes — but not all LED bulbs are compatible with every Lutron dimmer. Lutron maintains an extensive compatibility database of tested fixtures and bulbs. We specify Lutron-compatible fixtures and dimming drivers as part of our fixture audit, so your system dims smoothly and flicker-free across every circuit.
What are lighting scenes and how do they work?
A lighting scene is a saved combination of dim levels across multiple circuits, activated with one keypad button, voice command, or automatically. 'Movie Night' might dim the living room to 15% and turn off everything else. With Control4 integration, scenes can trigger automatically based on time of day, occupancy sensors, or other events in your home.
How are Lutron keypads customized to match my interior design?
Lutron offers multiple keypad families — Alisse, Palladiom, and seeTouch — in a range of metal and painted finishes. Button engravings are custom-specified (Kitchen, Reading, All Off, etc.), and LED indicator colors are programmable per button. We coordinate with your interior designer to ensure every keypad complements the room rather than interrupting it.
