Lutron Electronics has launched its Triathlon select roller shades — a shading revolution that makes it easier for integrators to enter the shading business. With a fixed pricing structure, simplified design decisions, and a “goofproof” measuring tool, Triathlon select roller shades provide a great opportunity to include smart shade automation on every job.
Highlights include:
- Shades up to 48 x 80 inches are priced at $599 MSRP, offering a more price-competitive motorized alternative to manual shades.
- Homeowners can choose between light-filtering and blackout options in two popular fabric colors: white and gray.
- The low-profile, open-roll bracket style blends with almost any décor.
- Shades are D-cell battery-powered with an approximate two-year battery life.
- A new measuring tool makes shade measurements foolproof.
“Lutron has long been the leader in automated shades for the custom integrator who works on luxury homes,” says Joe Guellnitz, director, product management at Lutron Electronics. “With this new price point, and an approximate installation time of 15 minutes, the Triathlon select shade is going to expand the Lutron shades experience to millions of homes across North America. And it’s going to help professionals add meaningful revenue and profit to their businesses.”
To measure, use a standard tape measure or the Lutron precision tool (sold separately for $270 MSRP) which serves as a template for installing the shades. Triathlon select smart roller shades feature fixed pricing for shades up to 48 inches wide. As a result, quoting takes just minutes; simply count the windows and multiply by one price.
Triathlon select smart shades can be controlled with a Lutron Pico remote, but they offer even greater functionality when part of a Lutron system. Adding a Lutron smart hub enables functions like voice control, scheduling, and third-party integration.
Triathlon select smart shades also work in Lutron Caséta, RadioRA, and HomeWorks systems, and integrate with popular smart home brands (including Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant) as well as professional whole-home systems.
Triathlon select roller shades are available now through AV distributors, electrical wholesalers, and Lutron dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada with an estimated two-week or less delivery time.
