Lutron NLO: The Future of Smart Shading Is Here!
Strike the Right Balance with Natural Light Optimization!
Natural light is a wonderful thing—until it’s not. Too much sunlight streaming into your home can cause glare, fade furniture, and overheat rooms, making spaces uncomfortable. On the other hand, too little natural light can leave a home feeling dim and unwelcoming. Homeowners often find themselves constantly adjusting shades throughout the day, trying to reach the perfect balance between brightness and comfort.
Wouldn’t it be great if your shades just knew what to do? That’s exactly what Lutron’s Natural Light Optimization (NLO) offers—a smarter way to manage sunlight automatically! Let’s explore what the latest Lutron innovation can do for you!

How It Works: Intelligent Sunlight Management
Lutron’s NLO feature takes the hassle out of managing sunlight by automatically adjusting shades based on the sun’s position. Unlike standard motorized shades that follow a fixed schedule, the NLO adapts your shades in real time to provide the ideal position. Here’s how it works:
- Sun-Tracking Technology: NLO uses your home’s latitude, longitude, and window orientation to determine the optimal shade position at any given time of day.
- Automated Adjustments: Shades move automatically between three positions:
- Direct Sun Position – Lowers the shades to block intense sunlight when it enters a room.
- No Direct Sun Position – Keeps the shades open to allow for bright, natural daylight.
- Night Position – Closes the shades at night for privacy and insulation.
But watch out! Not all systems are compatible with NLO. Currently, this feature is supported by Lutron’s HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3 systems. If your system is older than these, we highly recommend calling AUDIOVISIONS for an upgrade that lets you bring more comfort and convenience into your home!
Why Lutron’s Natural Light Optimization Is a Game-Changer
Lutron’s NLO doesn’t just make your home look better—it makes it feel better, too. Here are a few reasons why we love this Lutron feature:
- Peak Comfort – Say goodbye to constantly fiddling with your shades. NLO intuitively adjusts them throughout the day for the perfect balance of brightness and shade without you lifting a finger.
