Lutron formally introduced Intelligent Lighting in September, marking a significant expansion of the company’s fixture strategy and providing dealers with a broader set of tools for designing high-end residential lighting systems. The new offering is built around the idea that light quality plays a central role in shaping how homeowners experience their environments, and that advanced fixtures paired with native control platforms can create more natural, dynamic, and intuitive lighting throughout the home.
The portfolio is organized into three families—Ketra, Rania, and Lumaris—each designed to deliver distinct levels of performance and flexibility. Ketra remains the flagship for highly tunable, natural-looking light across a wide color temperature range. Rania offers a refined, architectural aesthetic with a slightly narrower performance band, while Lumaris provides tunable and warm-dim options for applications that benefit from streamlined integration. By organizing the ecosystem this way, Lutron allows integrators to design complete rooms or entire homes with consistent light behavior across downlights, linear fixtures, and lamps.
Native control within HomeWorks and RadioRA 3 is a core component of the Intelligent Lighting approach. As fixtures become more capable, the complexity of operating them can increase. Lutron’s goal is to ensure that advanced features, such as lighting that mirrors daylight and dynamic scenes, are delivered as seamless homeowner experiences rather than requiring manual adjustments or intricate interfaces. By embedding fixture intelligence directly into its control systems, the company aims to simplify programming while elevating day-to-day usability.
Lutron has also expanded its form factor options, adding new downlights, higher-output linear solutions, and a broader range of lamps within the Rania line. The Native by Design program further extends the ecosystem through partnerships with decorative and landscape fixture manufacturers, enabling integrators to incorporate Lutron-driven light quality into a wider range of applications.
For dealers, Lutron positions Intelligent Lighting as a natural progression in the evolution of the lighting category within the custom-integration channel. With wireless installation benefits, presale support resources, and a growing range of fixtures, the company sees now as an opportune moment for integrators to expand lighting offerings and bring full-room and whole-home solutions to more projects.
