From that point forward, Lutron innovations transformed the world of lighting controls. Today, with more than 75 utility and 40 design patents and over 10,000 products shipped to 80 countries worldwide, Lutron continues to lead the way in dimming innovation and quality.

Products are factory tested, ready to perform under the most demanding field conditions. Superior Quality to Withstand Harsh Conditions Lutron products are designed and tested in anticipation of the harshest conditions the world has to offer. Whether it’s heat, frequency shifts, improper installations, voltage spikes, or electrostatic discharge, Lutron products are designed for many years of trouble-free performance. Certified to ISO 9001 Quality Standard The "1" in ISO 9001 indicates the most stringent of ISO 9000 certifications, and has special significance for Lutron customers.

Environmentally Friendly Lutron dimmers save electricity. These savings add up to a significant and positive impact on the environment. As a rough estimate, Lutron dimmers currently in use save as much electricity in a year as is output by multiple power generating plants. Considerably less air, heat and water pollution are the direct results.
