Lutron Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer Can Now be Used with Decorator-Style Switch or Dimmer Openings and Mounted Wirelessly to any Wall

Coopersburg, PA – In May 2019, Lutron Electronics – the leader in lighting control technology – introduced the CES 2020 Innovation Award-winning Aurora smart bulb dimmer. The wireless, battery-powered dimmer, mounted directly over a toggle switch, allows users to dim Philips Hue or other Zigbee-certified smart bulbs, as well as turn them on and off, from the wall, an app, or smart speaker.

Today, Lutron is announcing new easy mounting options for the intuitive rotary-style dimmer. The new Aurora Wallplate Bracket lets you easily replace a decorator-style opening dimmer or switch with an Aurora smart bulb dimmer. Simply turn off the power, remove the paddle switch or dimmer from the junction box, cap the wires, and mount the wallplate bracket and dimmer directly over the opening using the two provided screws.

Or for even more convenient control, use double-sided tape to wirelessly mount a Lutron Claro Wallplate and Aurora smart bulb dimmer to any wall surface – perfect for anywhere a switch or dimmer doesn’t exist, but control is needed.

“These new options offer even more places to use the Aurora smart bulb dimmer,” said Matt Swatsky, Vice-President, Residential Mid-Market Business at Lutron. “The Aurora dimmer has earned strong reviews and a positive reaction from customers,” he said. “Now, with the Aurora Wallplate Bracket, Lutron has expanded the capabilities of this remarkable technology.”

Available in white, the Aurora Wallplate Bracket will be available in March at select retailers with a suggested retail price of $10.
