Motion sensors save energy and $$$$$$$!

by Darlene Jurow
Did you know that wasted lighting can account for 50% of a home’s total energy usage? Lights left on when rooms are unoccupied are an expensive energy drain. Fortunately, Lutron has come to the rescue. No more shouting at family members,”turn off the lights”! Lutron’s Maestro wireless occupancy sensors automate the switching and dimming and are wireless. They will turn off the lights automatically at a pre-set length of time (say…3 minutes). And, if you are in the shower and decide to shampoo twice and the sensor flips off, don’t panic. Simply change the location of the sensor or the length of the pre-set timer (after you dry off!) No wires…. No construction….no hassle. What a convenience. No need to break into walls to install wires in a bathroom, kitchen, laundry or even a walk-in closet. By the way, the Lutron sensors help you comply with the most current building codes. Lutron’s gotcha covered!
