Having the right lighting components can make all the difference. When you leave your home or the office, are you sure all the lights have been turned off? Or what about when you are walking into a dark room, wouldn't it be nice for the lights to automatically turn on for you? 

 

Lutron is several occupancy sensors that can fulfill those needs. 

 

Lutron offers a variety of in-wall and wall/ceiling mounted light sensors for any space in commercial and residential buildings. These sensors include sensor switches, dual-circuit switches, and dimmers. The in-wall sensor is called the Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Sensor, while there are four wall/ceiling mounted sensors called the Radio Powr Savr Wireless Sensor, LOS W Series Wired Sensors, LOS C Series Wired Sensors, and the Wired High Bay Occupancy Sensors. 

 

The Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Sensors are a great way to save energy in a home or commercial space. They automatically turn on when you enter a room and then turn off when you leave, which are ideal for busy office spaces and rooms in your home that are used the most. The latest Maestro Sensor is the 0-10V Dimmer Sensor. This product combines 0-10V dimming and PIR sensing to create a simple solution to your lighting needs. Lutron uses XCT sensing technology and adaptive settings to provide a product that knows when to turn off and on. It even knows when to dim the lighting in a room. It is almost like the product learns about you personally and it will adapt to your habits. Installation is simple and this system will continue to be more and more cost effective as time goes on. 

 

The Radio Powr Savr Wireless Sensor allows optimum light control, targeting bigger spaces like office buildings that can be draining energy every day. This device has sensors that recognizes if the room is being used or not. This means not worrying about turning the lights off and on because the sensors automatically do it for you. The newest version of the Ceiling-mount Occupancy/Vacancy Sensor is made to look smaller but don't be fooled, it still has as much power. The smaller edition of the sensor will make less of an impact on your home design as it is made to be somewhat discreet. Matt Sedlock of Western Lighting & Energy Controls says, "With many office building spaces remaining unoccupied between 40% and 70% of the day, lights left on are a real drain. Lutron wireless occupancy/vacancy sensors automate the switching and dimming of those lights, saving energy and money."

 

The LOS W Series Occupancy Sensor are more likely to be used in spaces with fixtures, ceiling fans, or high ceilings. The LOS wall mount sensors all have self-adaptive technology that eliminates the need for manual range adjustment. After proper mounting, the sensors automatically adjust to sensitivity and timing to prevent false-off and false-on conditions. This product offers many features such as:

• Range of 1600 ft² if mounted at 8–12 ft from floor
• 8-second test mode to easily confirm proper operation
• Model with additional output (dry contact closure) available
• Non-volatile memory (saved changes are stored during loss of power)
• Integrate with Lutron systems (no power pack needed) or function as stand-alone controls using a Lutron power pack
• 20-24 VDC, class 2 (PELV) low-voltage wiring
• Self-adaptive sensors automatically adjust sensitivity and timing
• Passive infrared (PIR), or dual-technology (PIR and US)

The LOS C Series Occupancy Sensor is a ceiling mount occupancy sensor that can either be used with the Lutron systems, where no power pack is needed, or it can be used as a stand-alone control using a Lutron power pack. The LOS ceiling mount sensors all have self-adaptive technology that eliminates the need for manual
adjustments. After correct mounting, the sensors automatically adjust sensitivity and timing to prevent false-off and false-on conditions. This product offers many features such as:

• Self-adaptive sensors automatically adjust sensitivity and timing
• Passive infrared (PIR), ultrasonic (US) or dual technology (DT)
• Range from 450–2,000 ft² (mounted on an 8–12 ft ceiling)
• 8-second test mode to easily confirm proper operation
• Model with additional output (dry contact closure) available
• Non-volatile memory (saved changes are stored during loss of power)
• 20-24 VDC, class 2 (PELV) low-voltage wiring

 

 

The Wired High Bay Occupancy Sensor is designed to provide automatic control of fixtures in warehouses, distribution centers, gymnasiums, and similar facilities. The sensor can integrate with Lutron lighting control systems or function as stand-alone control by using a Lutron power pack. This product offers many features such as: 

Lutron has been leading the way in energy and lighting efficiency for more than fifty years. It is becoming essential for homes and businesses to adapt to the new technologies that Lutron has produced time and time again. You can upgrade to any of their products with a quick and easy installment without sacrificing the style or convenience of your preferred space.
