Lutron is a technology-centered and people-driven company.
The Lutron story began in the late 1950s in Joel Spira’s makeshift lab in New York City.
By 1961, when Joel and Ruth Spira incorporated Lutron Electronics.
Spira’s first invention – a simple rotary dimmer that can still be found on many dining room walls today – marked the birth of the lighting control industry.
In almost 50 years of innovation, Lutron has invented hundreds of lighting control devices and systems, and expanded their product offering from 2 products to 15,000.
Lutron has also led innovations in window shade technology for the control of daylight, as well as wired and wireless systems, to integrate the control of both daylight and electric light.
Lutron light control products range from individual dimmers to total light management systems that control entire building complexes.
