Coopersburg, PA (May 18, 2009) – Lighting control manufacturer Lutron Electronics Co., Inc., makes saving energy even easier with the new, unique Maestro dimmer with occupancy sensor – another great addition to Lutron’s energy-saving line of products.
This new Lutron product takes the company’s popular Maestro dimmer and adds an unobtrusive sensor to the sleek design. The occupancy sensor ensures that lights will only be on when the room is occupied, greatly reducing unnecessary energy use.
The sensor is equipped with Lutron’s exclusive XCTâ„¢ detection technology that senses fine motions, such as turning a page, to ensure the lights stay on when the room is occupied.
The dimmer allows users to set lights to their favorite level and dim them up or down as they see fit. Dimming the lights provides the ability to save additional energy, extend light bulb life and set the appropriate light level for a variety of activities.
Replace your standard switch with a Maestro dimmer with occupancy sensor and save up to 50%* in energy costs.
