Lutron Expands Lumaris Tape Light Family with RGB Color, New Controller, Extrusions

September 6, 2024

Colorful lighting has taken social media by storm, and that’s just the beginning. In fact, many professionals say saturated RGB colors are one of the lighting features most requested by affluent millennial and Gen X clients. This has always presented a challenge for installers and integrators – they have not had a simple, cost-effective way to control color-changing tape as part of a smart, whole-home system. Until now.

Recently, Lutron introduces an expansion of the Lumaris tape light family: a new RGB + Tunable White tape, and a new 5-channel controller that’s native to Lutron control systems.

Lumaris tape light solutions make it easy for pros to install and program vivid layers of light in popular tape applications like undercabinet, cove, vanity, and more. The enhanced solution includes both a new LED tape and controller, purpose-built for Lutron RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks QSX systems.

When Lutron introduced the first Lumaris tunable white tape light at CEDIA Expo 2023, the requests to add RGB poured in,” said Rhodes Baker, Director, Product Management at Lutron. “But it’s critical you don’t sacrifice an excellent day-to-day white light experience for those special occasions when RGB comes into play. The new Lumaris RGB + Tunable White tape delivers the high quality of white light Lutron is known for, while enabling fun expressions of color. It gives clients the best of both worlds.

Additions to the Lutron Lumaris offering include:

Lumaris RGB + Tunable White Tape Light

  • 1800K – 4000K tunable white light range, with dimming down to 0.1%
  • Saturated colors via RGB
  • 90+ CRI, 200 lumens/ft

Lutron Multi-Channel Wireless Tape Controller

  • Combination driver-controller, smaller than a smart phone and easy to tuck away
  • Powered by Lutron’s ultra-reliable Clear Connect Type X wireless technology
  • Provides independent control of color (CCT/RGB) and intensity; and/or Warm Dim
  • Adjustable color via preset scene control, automatic control based on time of day, or manual control using the Lutron App
  • Walk-around programming and direct-to-device diagnostics
  • Remotely mount devices with easy wiring terminals that accept 14-22AWG wire
  • Control up to 32.8 ft. of tape from a single controller
  • New Wiring Verification Mode helps ensure proper wiring prior to device programming
  • New Design Assistant in Lutron Designer allows you to easily answer “Can this work for my project?”

Extrusions and lenses

  • Seven tape light extrusions and lenses of various depth profiles and shapes to compliment the Lutron tape offering and streamline ordering
  • Comes in 8 ft. segments; cut-to-size in the field with power or hand tools

The addition of RGB and extrusions really simplifies how integrators plan their projects,” said Baker.
Everything you need to do tape on a Lutron project, you can now get straight from Lutron.

How the Lumaris tape light solutions reduce complexity:

  1. Streamlined installation with combination driver-controller – eliminates cutting in a switch box and pulling wire to a driver.
  2. Guaranteed performance between tape and control system – eliminates dimmer-to-driver compatibility issues.
  3. Easy programming of color temperature to system scenes – eliminates need for separate or additional control gear (like DMX) to add tunable white and RGB control.
