CEDIA Expo always brings with it the industry’s awards season, from media to manufacturers and buying groups. Toward that end, the Lutron Electronics Awards winners plus three new Hall of Fame inductees were honored during a gala at the recently held CEDIA Expo 2024 in Denver.
The presentation was part of a very busy CEDIA Expo for the lighting and shades specialist. Among the highlights were the intro of Natural Light Optimization for roller shades and Lutron’s beautiful display of its RGB+ Lumaris tape lighting..
