Lutron has been engineering the control of light 
for more than six decades, long enough to have 
watched the definition of luxury change around 
it. As they put it, luxury has moved from being 
primarily about what you can see to being equally 
about what you can experience.
Their technical foundation is tunable white 
lighting paired with automated shading. Across 
a day, a system can move both the intensity and 
the color temperature of a room’s electric light, 
brighter and cooler through the working hours, 
warmer and softer as the evening arrives, while 
motorized shades manage daylight, glare, privacy, 
and solar heat gain. Programmed together, they 
hold the interior in step with the sun rather than 
against it. This is what circadian lighting means 
in practice, and in Southern California, where the 
indoor-outdoor life is the whole point of the house, 
the coordination of daylight and electric light is not 
a refinement. It is the design.
What makes it a wellness system rather than a 
lighting package is automation. A homeowner who 
has to adjust the light will eventually stop adjust-
ing it. A house that adjusts on its own supports 
the rhythm without asking anything of the per-
son living inside it. One keypad button can carry 
several layers of light and shade at once: waking, 
entertaining, working, winding down, preparing 
for sleep.
The second benefit is one that designers notice 
immediately. The technology disappears. Walls of 
switch plates give way to a small number of elegant 
keypads, and the visual environment simplifies 
as the capability increases. Shading does paral-
lel work that rarely gets credited, protecting art, 
textiles, and flooring from prolonged direct sun 
while reducing the cooling load on the house. For 
owners who move between residences, the system 
continues to run its schedules whether anyone is 
home or not.

六十多年来,Lutron 一直致力于光线控制技术,也
因此见证了“奢华”这一概念如何在时代中不断变
化。正如他们所言,奢华已经从主要关乎“你能看
见什么”,转向同样关乎“你能体验到什么”。
他们的技术基础,是可调色温白光照明与自动化
遮阳系统的结合。随着一天时间的推进,系统可以
同步调节室内电光的亮度与色温:在工作时段更
明亮、更偏冷;当夜晚来临,则变得更温暖、更柔
和。与此同时,电动遮阳系统管理自然光、眩光、隐
私与太阳热能。二者共同编程后,室内环境便不再
与太阳对抗,而是与太阳保持同步。这就是昼夜节
律照明在实际生活中的意义。而在南加州这样将
室内外生活视为住宅灵魂的地方,自然光与电光
之间的协调并不是锦上添花的细节——它本身就
是设计。
真正让它成为康养系统,而不仅仅是一套照明设
备的关键,是自动化。一个需要业主反复手动调节
的灯光系统,终有一天会被停止使用;而一座能够
自行调节的房子,则在不打扰居住者的情况下,持
续支持他们的日常节律。一个键盘按钮,便可以同
时承载多层光线与遮阳场景:醒来、待客、工作、放
松,以及准备入睡。
第二个优势,是设计师会立刻注意到的:技术隐入
背景。成排的开关面板被少量优雅的控制键盘取
代,视觉环境因此更为简洁,而功能却更强大。遮
阳系统也在做着常常被忽略的重要工作:保护艺
术品、织物与地面材料免受长时间直射日光的伤
害,同时降低整栋住宅的制冷负荷。对于经常往返
于多处居所的业主而言,即使无人居住,系统也会
继续按照设定运行。
