Lutron Launches New Architectural Lighting Solution with iOS App Control

Lutron Architectural Lighting Solution

July 9, 2020

Lutron Electronics introduces Athena: a simple, flexible, all-in-one solution that elevates everyday experiences with the magic of light. The debut is Lutron’s most significant commercial system release since April 2018, when we acquired Ketra, maker of the world’s most advanced lighting system. Athena marries best-in-class control, the world’s most advanced LED lighting technology, and simple app-based setup in a solution that is equally optimal for new construction, retrofits, and evolving commercial spaces.

Especially now, when change is constant, Athena is built to meet today’s uncharted design challenges – while delivering flexibility for the future.

Key features include:

Native Ketra integration, plus universal fixture-control capabilities – control all load types from a single product with no minimum load requirements.

A right-sized processor for architectural spaces small and large like intimate restaurants, art galleries and museums, and hotel public areas.

Integrated shades to deliver a comprehensive lighting design.

Simple-to-use iOS app for real time programming and personalization, plus, Ketra curated content that offers preset lighting changes to mimic natural daylight.

The Athena solution can be specified in the U.S. and Canada now. It is expected to ship winter 2020.
