Lutron is a large privately held company and is considered the global leader in lighting control, though it is smaller than giant conglomerates like Eaton or Schneider Electric. Lutron Electronics, founded in 1961 in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, employs over 6,000 people worldwide and has annual revenues estimated at 1.5 to 2 billion dollars, which is substantial for a family-owned company. It operates a large headquarters and manufacturing campus in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, where it designs and makes many of its premium dimmers, keypads, and shading systems, and has additional manufacturing facilities, offices, and showrooms worldwide including in the US, Europe, and Asia. Lutron holds over 2,700 patents for lighting control technology and sells products in over 100 countries. Its product lines include Caseta for DIY smart homes, RadioRA 3 for luxury homes, HomeWorks QSX for custom estates, and commercial systems like Quantum for office buildings, plus automated shades like Sivoia and Serena. While Eaton has about 90,000 employees and Schneider has 150,000, Lutron is big in its niche as the undisputed premium leader in lighting control, with a strong presence at Home Depot, Lowes, and through professional dealers, and is considered one of the most successful family-owned technology companies in America.
