Lutron x MerlinLight Native by Design
Lutron Electronics, the trusted leader in Intelligent Lighting, motorized window treatments, and intuitive control systems, announces a new Native by Design partnership with MerlinLight, a leader in precision optical framing projectors. The collaboration seamlessly integrates Lutron Intelligent Lighting with MerlinLight’s museum-quality framing projectors, bringing exceptional control, color fidelity, and art preservation together in a remarkable lighting solution.
The partnership brings Lutron’s Ketra light source to MerlinLight’s framing projectors, allowing designers to precisely illuminate artwork with tunable, full spectrum light. MerlinLight’s optical technology shapes the light specifically to the artwork, minimizing stray light and UV exposure. Lutron Intelligent Lighting provides precise control over color, hue, saturation, and white tuning. The combined effect is a more intentional approach to experiencing and showcasing fine art.
“Art deserves to be experienced exactly as the artist intended,” said Ben Bard, Vice President, Luxury Residential at Lutron. “Our partnership with MerlinLight brings together precision projection and Intelligent Lighting to give designers greater control over how artwork is seen and experienced. Together, we’re creating a solution that not only highlights the art, but respects and protects it.”
“For more than 40 years, MerlinLight has been dedicated to illuminating fine art with precision and care,” said Glenn Johnson, CEO and International Lighting Designer at MerlinLight. “Partnering with Lutron allows us to take that experience even further by combining our museum-quality framing technology with Ketra’s exceptional color quality and control. The result is a truly integrated approach to art lighting that allows every piece to be seen at its best.”
Native by Design brings together Lutron’s Intelligent Lighting and motorization technologies with leading design partners to create more integrated, intentional solutions for the home. Native by Design lighting partners include Cerno, Coastal Source, David Trubridge, Matthew McCormick, Niche, Stephen Pikus Design, Ted Bradley Studio, Uplight Group, and Vibia. Motorization partners include CONRAD, DEL Motorized Solutions, Hartmann&Forbes, Insolroll, Leon, and Shading Source.
Through Native by Design, Lutron and its partners combine thoughtful design with advanced technology to expand what is possible in the home, giving designers and integrators more opportunities to create beautifully integrated spaces. This is the power of the Lutron x MerlinLight Native by Design Partnership Program.
