Energy Squad Brings Lutron to the Green Tech Channel

BETHESDA, Md. – July 21, 2014 – Energy Squad, the consumer electronics industry’s first full-service green tech distributor, had announced that it will now offer its dealers access to Lutron, the leader in energy-saving wireless lighting and shade control. With the addition of Lutron, Energy Squad now offers more than 30 brands of leading-edge green technology products.

Energy Squad customers will have access to the Caséta Wireless Dimmer and Smart Bridge Pro products, which will give them simple, reliable and affordable control of lights, shades and temperature via the Lutron app. The app uses wireless recognition to help dealers set up a system in less than 30 minutes to access a continuum of Lutron products, including Caséta Wireless dimmers, Pico remote controls and battery-powered Serena and Triathlon shades.

Energy Squad’s new distribution of Lutron products includes the popular RadioRA^® 2 wireless control system, which offers homeowners the ability to easily manage a combination of lights, shades, the thermostat and other connected appliances for whole home control. In addition to creating the perfect mood or ambience, RadioRA^® 2 allows users the benefit of remote access and system monitoring to create an energy-saving environment that also adds convenience to the user’s daily life.

The new Lutron Caséta is available at a more cost-effective position than the feature-rich RadioRA^® 2 systems, making the manufacturer’s innovative lighting management systems available to a range of price points and market applications.

“Lutron’s amazing product engineering has created a product ecosystem with unlimited configuration options for the ultimate in scalable lighting control,” said Jon Stovall, founder and CEO of Energy Squad. “To specify the world’s best green technology, you need to listen to end users’ needs and stay in touch with energy trends. We’re very proud to offer Lutron systems through Energy Squad because they make it easier for integrators to introduce energy savings in the form of an incredibly beneficial product.”

Energy Squad will begin to offer Lutron solutions immediately and will incorporate recently introduced products into upcoming training and education opportunities through the LED Diet program. Dealers enrolled into Energy Squad’s LED Diet program are given the training and resources to become a regional authority on LED lighting and green technology that enables them to reach new and existing customers. LED Dietitians, as the certified program participants are known, are equipped to convert an entire home from an old, outdated, poorly lit and power-guzzling space into a beautiful, energy-efficient environment—literally one bulb at a time.
