Effortlessly Manage Your Home’s Lighting with Lutron HomeWorks QS

Imagine waking to sunlight filtering through your bedroom windows as the shades rise with the dawn. The lights settle into the color of sunrise and transition throughout the day, simulating the changing color of natural outdoor light. 

In the evening, before friends and family arrive for dinner, you tap the “Entertain” button on an elegant in-wall keypad. The lights in your dining area transform to the color of golden candlelight, while the living room lights illuminate the space in splashes of amber, teal, and tangerine. The shades open to reveal beautiful landscape lighting, and your “Dining” playlist streams through your home as you prepare dinner in a perfectly lit kitchen.

A life of luxury.
