Vive by Lutron is a simple, scalable,
wireless control system that can be
installed in a single space or throughout
multiple buildings. It is designed to be
used in new construction or retrofit
situations, and to meet the budgetary
constraints of facilities managers and
FM services providers. Vive provides the
flexibility to handle on-site installation
and maintenance with ease, limiting the
need for additional visits.
We have all been waiting to see how
Lutron, a global leader in Light Management
Systems, would respond to the new
connected possibilities for lighting controls.
So… it is no surprise that the introduction of
Vive demonstrates a legacy of nearly 60 years
of experience in lighting control. The system
is at once elegant and simple. It provides FM
services providers and facilities managers
with valuable tools to create comfort,
e iciency and building productivity. At the
same time, it is simple and quick to install,
program, modify, and grow as your users’
needs evolve. Programming can be done
using any handheld smart device, via the
Vive so ware and the Vive wireless hub. The
solution is scalable, retrofittable, and gives
you access to timely and actionable data.
Vive makes every o ice, school, and retail
space an e icient and comfortable place to
work, learn, and play.
Lutron has been listening to its end-users.
It has produced a control platform that has
simplicity at its heart. Vive is simple to design,
to quote, to install, and to program. And in
case installers have questions or issues, they’ll
always have Lutron’s world class Customer
Service and Support on which to fall back.
Energy management sits at the heart
of the Vive lighting control system. Vive is
specifically designed to combine lighting
control strategies to maximise savings, save
money and improve sustainability. Vive
includes all the tools that are a prerequisite
for good energy control. A range of sensing
tools provides automatic control of lighting

Vive systems cover a
wide family of products
– including sensors,
remotes, load controls,
and an available so ware
management suite
via occupancy sensors and daylight
measurement, and the so ware also allows
demand response during times of peak
usage.
Light performance is the thing that Lutron
has been best known for – the ability to
‘tune’ a space via a sophisticated lighting
management system. While some wireless
systems are designed to provide the services
already described, Lutron hasn’t forgotten
its roots. Once the energy management
has been sorted and the practicalities of
installation have been resolved, it’s the
day-to-day functionality that gives a lighting
system its worth.
Design flexibility is an increasingly
important factor in spatial design. As the
needs of a space evolve, a good lighting
installation needs to be able to respond to
changes. Conventional wired systems are
an encumbrance to spatial fluidity. Wireless
communication of the type provided by Vive
can be reconfigured without any need to
physically access the luminaire or reroute
any cabling.
Installation times of the wireless system
are reported to be 70 per cent faster than
conventional wired systems, and it is
scalable. What might start as a single o ice or
executive meeting room can be expanded to
an entire department, o ice floor or a whole
building. And the technology is there to
encompass a multi-building estate.
Vive by Lutron o ers wireless lighting
control that works at any scale of operation,
from a single room to a multi-building estate.
It can be employed with existing lighting
installations as well as newbuilds, and it can
be used to provide fully automated control
as well as manual operation. Vive can help
facilities managers and FM services providers
to operate their buildings more productively,
whilst improving comfort and e iciency for
its occupants.
