Lutron RadioRA 3 Smart Lighting Solution is the successor to the Lutron RadioRA 2 system that carries the best of its predecessor’s features while adding more luxury and significant improvements. In short, the Lutron RadioRA 3 Smart Lighting system gets very close to the Lutron’s premium lighting solution, the HomeWorks QSX at the much lower cost.
The new RA3 lighting control system brings the contemporary lightbar design to a full range of beautifully designed products—dimmers with capacitive touch technology, switches and keypads. The light bar also acts as a locator light to help homeowners find the switch in the dark, and the light level can be customized, including to off if clients prefer no light in places like the bedroom.

- Lutron All in One POE Processor
- Lutron Sunnata Dimmer, Switch and Lighting Keypad
