Saves energy
Homeowners today want to cut costs and protect the planet. With
RadioRA 2 they can do both of those things.
If you dim a standard halogen or incandescent light bulb by 25% you’ll save 20% energy. Dim more, and you’ll save even more. Less energy used also means reduced CO2 emissions from power plants.
With Lutron electronically controlled shades, your customers will be able to lower their cooling costs in the summer or keep their homes warmer in the winter by blocking or harnessing the sun’s energy.
Energy-saving strategies:
Look for these icons throughout
the brochure to help you
understand how each RadioRA 2
component saves energy.

Energy-saving solutions
The energy-saving benefits of a RadioRA® 2 system go beyond
simply dimming or switching the lights. The system makes it
easy to manage your home’s lighting to maximize savings.
Electronically controlled shades help
keep cooling costs down by blocking
heat in the summer and keep heating
costs down by insulating windows
in winter. dimming the lights

When you dim traditional light sources such as incandescent,
halogen, low-voltage, and LED you automatically save energy.
You can save even more energy with a number of components
and features included in RadioRA 2.
Radio Powr Savr™ occupancy/vacancy sensors are
ideal for rooms where lights are often inadvertently
left on, such as bathrooms or a child’s room.
The sensor turns on the lights when you enter
a room, then turns them off when the room is
empty (vacancy-only version also available).
Use the “All Off” button to ensure that all
the lights in your home are turned off before bed.
An “All Off” button on a tabletop keypad on the
night stand lets you turn off lights throughout the
house from the comfort of your bed.
Program the timeclock to automatically
turn off lights when they’re not needed,
such as exterior lights at sunrise.
utron customers save 9.2 billion kWh of energy each
L
year. That’s equal to the amount of energy needed to
light 4.5 million homes for one year. It’s also as much
CO2 as 2 million acres of trees absorb in one year 1.
