How can you make every office, school, or university campus an efficient, comfortable, and productive place to work or learn?

Vive Is The Answer

Vive by Lutron is a simple, scalable, wireless control that can be installed in a single space or throughout an entire campus. It’s designed to meet today’s energy codes, be used in new construction or retrofit situations, and meet your budgetary needs.

And with a wide family of products – including sensors, remotes, load controls, and an available software management suite — Vive provides the flexibility to select the products you want and handle any on-site challenges with ease.

Why Choose Vive

Scalable Solutions

Vive wireless solutions offer a multi-strategy approach that accommodates your budget and performance needs now and for the future of your building.

Ceiling Occupancy/Vacancy Sensors

 Wasted lighting can account for a majority of a building’s total energy usage. And with many building spaces remaining unoccupied between 40% and 70% of the day, lights left on are a real energy drain. Lutron wireless occupancy/vacancy sensors automate the switching and dimming of those lights, saving energy and money.

Going wireless eliminates the need for costly new wiring. Radio Powr Savr sensors by Lutron install in as little as 15 minutes and communicate with compatible Lutron dimmers, switches and light control systems using reliable Clear Connect RF Technology, which ensures smooth, consistent performance.

Lutron wireless sensors reduce installation time by over 70%* over wired options.
