New York City—Lutron’s new Commercial Experience Center spotlights the company’s lighting controls and new technology.
Architects, designers, contractors, developers and building owners can see Lutron’s inclusive lighting and control capabilities in the new center in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood just south of Midtown. The center, which opened Tuesday, showcases the company’s HXL approach—a broad human-centric lighting philosophy that uses natural light, quality light, connection to the outdoors and adaptive and personalized control.

The 5,500 ft2 (510.9 m2) center highlights Lutron’s projects for a variety of building types such as offices, residence, educational institutions and hotel rooms. The space includes a complete model hotel suite that uses Lutron’s guestroom control system.
Lutron Executive Vice President Scott Hanna said the center’s immersive experience shows how lighting and controls affect different space types and people’s sense of well-being.
“It gives them opportunities to enhance and foster the human experience,” Hanna said.
This New York center is Lutron’s eighth Commercial Experience Center. The other locations are Coopersburg, Pa.; Plantation, Fla.; Irvine, Calif.; Washington, D.C.; Toronto, Canada; and London, UK. Lutron’s Residential Experience Center is also in Manhattan.
