QUANTUM®
TOTAL LIGHT MANAGEMENT™
Total Light Management is the control of electric light and daylight to improve occupant comfort and productivity, simplify building maintenance and operations, create beautiful and functional lighting environments, and save considerable amounts of money and energy.
Quantum is a lighting control and energy management system that provides Total Light Management by tying the most complete line of lighting controls, motoriSed window shades, digital ballasts and LED drivers, and sensors together under one software umbrella. Quantum is ideal for new construction or retrofit applications and can easily scale from a single area to a building, or to a campus with many buildings.
APPLICATIONS
COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDINGS
In a commercial office building, light control can contribute enormously to saving energy. In addition, light control can help contribute to occupant productivity. Hyperion® solar-adaptive shading automatically adjusts Lutron Sivoia® QS shades throughout the day in response to the changing position of the sun. This eliminates glare and reduces heat gain while maintaining external views and saving energy.
UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES & SCHOOLS
Central control and BMS integration are important for university campuses to simplify operations and maintenance. Quantum provides centralised management software with reporting and alerting capabilities to identify energy anomalies and maintenance issues. Quantum also has native BACnet for seamless integration with BMS systems. In addition, the GreenGlance® dashboard provides students, staff, and visitors with real-time energy savings, which helps promote the school’s commitment to sustainability.
PUBLIC HOSPITALITY AREAS
Being able to create the right light in public areas such as lobbies, ballrooms, and meeting rooms is key to an outstanding guest experience. With Quantum, it’s easy to customise the light in individual areas for specific events or times of day. Features such as partitioning and zone reconfiguration also come in handy to automatically update the lighting controls based on how rooms are set up.
HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS
How comfortable a patient feels in his hospital room can help ease his stress while he’s recovering. A room designed with customiSed lighting and shade control provides patients with a soothing place to heal. Intuitive lighting controls also contribute to staff productivity. From full light for reading charts and dispensing medications, to dimmed light for working on computers, proper lighting can relieve job stress, improve performance, and reduce medical errors.
STADIUMS & CONVENTION CENTRES
In large venues such as stadiums and convention centres, which often host multiple events at one time or throughout a day, central control is extremely important. Having remotely accessible central management software allows you to log in to the system from anywhere in the world to control lights and shades and troubleshoot problems quickly.
RESTAURANTS & RETAIL
SPACES
A tailored lighting control solution allows a restaurant to skilfully execute the combination of food, service, décor, and atmosphere into an unforgettable dining experience. In order to deliver that experience, a restaurant’s manager needs to be able to conveniently adjust lights and shades. With the Quantum app for the iPad®, he can control, monitor, and adjust lights and shades with a simple interface, to seamlessly alter the atmosphere any time, from anywhere.

TOTAL LIGHT MANAGEMENT™ CAN SAVE MORE ELECTRICITY THAN ANY OTHER BUILDING SYSTEM
Because lighting uses more electricity than any other building system, lighting and shading control gives building owners and facility managers the power to save more electricity than any other control technology at their disposal.
- Lighting 38%
- HVAC 29%
- Refrigeration 12%
- Office Equipment 7%
- Other 14%
Lighting consumes more electricity in commercial buildings than anything else—about 38% a year. Lutron solutions can save up to 60% or more of that lighting energy.
ENERGY SAVING STRATEGIES
Lutron solutions do more than just control the light in a space. With the right design strategies, they can save substantial amounts of energy, reduce operating costs, and improve productivity.
High-end trim sets the maximum light level based on customer requirements in each space. Potential lighting savings of 10-30%
Occupancy/vacancy sensing turns lights on when occupants are in a space and off when they vacate the space. Potential lighting savings of 20-60%
Daylight harvesting dims electric lights when daylight is available to light the space. Potential lighting savings of 25-60%
Personal dimming control gives occupants the ability to set the light level. Potential lighting savings of 10-20%
Automated window shading adjusts shades to reduce glare and solar heat gain. Potential cooling savings of 10-20%
Scheduling provides pre-programmed changes in light levels based on time of day. Potential lighting savings of 10-20%
Demand response automatically reduces lighting loads during peak electricity usage times. Potential lighting savings of 30-50% peak period
Plug load control automatically turns off loads after occupants leave a space. Potential energy savings of 15-50% controlled loads
HVAC integration controls heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems through contact closure, or BACnet protocol. Potential HVAC savings of 5-15%
System Optimisation Service from Lutron identifies important lighting control adjustments to save additional energy and create a more productive work environment on an ongoing basis.
THE BENEFITS OF QUANTUM®
INCREASE COMFORT & PRODUCTIVITY
People are more comfortable and more productive when they are working in the right light for the task at hand. Personal lighting controls allow occupants to tune the light to just the right setting while intelligent automated shading solutions help preserve views, eliminate glare, and reduce heat gain.
CREATE A FLEXIBLE SPACE
All aspects of the system are digital, so you can easily reconfigure lighting and shading zones without rewiring, making a space adaptable to high churn rates.
As the needs of a space change, you can also easily move and reprogram wireless sensors and controls right from the software without needing to call an electrician.
SIMPLIFY OPERATIONS & REDUCE MAINTENANCE COSTS
Quantum’s management control software simplifies ongoing building operations and reduces maintenance costs. Reports and alerts can identify energy abnormalities and bring attention to maintenance issues or system health problems. These alerts can identify the exact location and nature of a problem, so they can be quickly addressed.
Enhanced warranties can provide extensive support coverage and include onsite preventive maintenance visits from a Lutron Services Representative.
CREATE THE RIGHT LIGHT
Create beautiful and functional lighting environments for any space with continuous, flicker-free dimming of any load type down to 0.1% and motorised shading.
