Why Your Next Renovation Should Start With Lighting, Not Paint
How a Lutron Dealer Puts Your Home in a Brand New Light
When you embark on a renovation, what are the first things you think of upgrading? In most cases, homeowners begin by choosing paint colors and finishes. What they don’t consider is how lighting will affect those final decisions. The way something looks at a designer’s showroom or a high-end store won’t match what it looks like at home.
Lighting changes how every color and surface looks. It also determines how comfortable, functional, or beautiful a room will be. A Lutron dealer helps you optimize your Orlando, FL, remodel by starting with your lighting for better control of the end result and less expensive rework.

Why Lighting Should Be Your Top Priority
Lighting plays a huge part in color perception. Paint and finishes will look completely different in warm vs. cool light. And light will also determine the atmosphere, task visibility, and usability of a room. That should always take precedence over stylistic choices, which is why we recommend updating your lighting before anything else.
By working with a certified Lutron dealer, you’ll have certified experts that know how to design lighting layouts for maximum impact. They’ll know where to place circuits and keypads for the least amount of clutter without sacrificing functionality.
They’ll take care of all the programming to let you have control from your device of choice. Embrace modern living with lighting control that offers access from mobile apps, touchpads, or voice commands.
Why Work With Lutron Lighting
When you plan a renovation, you don’t have to tackle the whole house at once. That’s why Lutron makes it easy to start with one area—like the kitchen, living room, or primary suite—and expand when you’re ready.
RadioRA 3 is designed specifically for remodels. It doesn’t require major rewiring, the keypads look modern and clean, and you still get app and voice control like in a custom smart home system.
What makes RadioRA 3 even better is how far it can take you. It supports up to 200 devices, so you’re not limited to a single room. Start small, then add more lighting zones, motorized shades, and outdoor areas over time without ripping out anything you already installed.
Because it’s built to grow with you, you can upgrade your home in phases. Add rooms when the budget allows. Integrate lighting with your AV or security. Keep building on the same platform instead of starting over every time.
How Lutron Shapes Atmosphere, Function, and Visual Experience
With scenes like “Entertain,” “Cooking,” or “Goodnight,” you can adjust multiple lights at once with a single touch. No more walking room to room flipping switches. Each space feels right for its purpose because the light levels match what you’re doing.
Natural light is just as important as artificial light. Lutron shades quietly adjust to reduce glare, protect furniture, and maintain privacy. You can schedule them to open with the sun or close at night and make them part of your lighting scenes.
The types of fixtures you choose matter. Tunable white lighting shifts from bright and cool for focus to warm and dim for evening relaxation. Tape lighting highlights cabinets, coves, shelving, and architectural features to add depth and style. When you layer different types of light, the room instantly feels more polished, intentional, and comfortable to use.
