What we do
A home lighting control system that runs itself
Most houses have a row of switches by every door and lights that stay on in empty rooms. With Lutron, every light joins one system. You control it from your phone or from stylish wall keypads, and each button can run a whole scene.
A scene sets several lights at once for something you do: cooking, dinner, a movie, bedtime. Schedules handle the rest. Because the Lutron processor knows where your home is, the porch and landscape lights come on at sunset and go off at sunrise, all year, without anyone resetting a timer.
Lighting also works with the rest of the house, from Lutron motorized shades to your home theater. Start with a free quote, or meet us first.

Scenes, schedules, and lights that join the movie
Three ways Lutron changes how the house feels day to day.
Lighting scenes for the way you live
A scene sets several lights at once. Tap Dinner and the kitchen drops to 60 percent while the living room settles to a glow. Tap Goodnight on the way upstairs and every downstairs light goes off behind you.

Lights that follow the clock and the sun
Set the kitchen to come up for the morning on weekdays and the whole house to shut off when you leave. Exterior lights follow sunrise and sunset, because the Lutron processor knows your home's location and the timing shifts with the seasons.

Lights that dim when the movie starts
Tie Lutron into the theater or media room and the same button that starts the movie can dim the lights and lower the shades. Hit pause and the lights come up enough to find the snacks.

Our process
How a Lutron lighting installation works
Walk the house
We look at your switches and fixtures and ask how you use each room, morning to night.
Plan the scenes
Which lights belong together, what each keypad button does, and which Lutron system fits.
Install
Dimmers and keypads go in where your switches were, plus the processor that runs it all.
Program
Scenes, schedules and sunrise and sunset timing, set up on the keypads and in the app.
Fine-tune
Live with it for a while. Tell us which scene needs adjusting and we'll update it.
The bigger picture
Lighting that works with everything else
Lighting is one piece of the house. We also install the theater, the whole-home audio, the shades, the network and the controls, so we can plan the lighting to work with all of it. One button on a Savant panel or remote can set the lights, lower the shades and start the music together.

What clients and contractors say
Dan and his team are great. I've had him install/uninstall/Install from 3 different homes and they've always been responsive, quick and professional. Will always use R&D, couldn't be happier.Edward Coon, Google review
R+D are great. Clear communication, showed up right on time and the installation looks great. Highly recommend.Matt Curtis, Google review
R&D A/V has been great to work with. I've hired and worked alongside them with Rose City Tech for low-voltage wiring, camera installs, access points, TV mounting, and related A/V work. R&D is reliable, knowledgeable, and do clean professional work.Colin, Rose City Tech, Google review
Reasonably priced for a cat5e retrofit, communication was clear and emails returned pre/post install in a timely fashion. Highly recommended!Richard Fancher, Google review
What is Lutron lighting control?
It puts the lights in your home on one system. You control them from an app or from wall keypads, group them into scenes, and set them on schedules, including schedules that follow sunrise and sunset.
What is a lighting scene?
A scene sets several lights at once with one button. A Dinner scene might bring the kitchen to 60 percent and the living room to 40. A Movie scene might drop everything to a glow.
Can my lights follow sunrise and sunset?
Yes. The Lutron processor knows your home's location, so porch and landscape lights can turn on at sunset and off at sunrise, and the timing shifts with the seasons on its own.
Do I need new wiring for Lutron lighting?
Often not. Many Lutron dimmers and keypads replace the switches you already have and talk to the system wirelessly. Larger systems can use wired keypads and a central processor, which we plan during the walkthrough. More on home wiring.
Can I control my lights from my phone?
Yes. Every light on the system is on the app, along with your scenes and schedules, from home or away.
Does Lutron work with my shades, remote and smart home system?
Yes. Lutron lighting pairs with Lutron motorized shades, and it can tie into Savant and URC systems, so one button can dim the lights and lower the shades for a movie. See universal remotes.
How much does Lutron lighting control cost?
It depends on how many lights and rooms you want on the system and which Lutron system fits. Quotes are free.
