  • WAVE Talks Episode 8: Lutron Shades and Lighting

    Custom Integrators are growing their businesses with lighting and motorized shades. Bryan sits with Blake Deal, Sales Director - Lutron Residential Systems. Lutron is considered the company that "started it all" when it comes to this category.

    Bryan Stewart, Chief Sales Officer at WAVE Electronics has spent his career in the CI space and is very familiar with the founding and the growth of Lutron. He also seems to be harboring a bit of a grudge about a waffle breakfast. But anyway... it's a great conversation between these two industry veterans that spend time discussing Lutron's smart dimmers, controls, shades, and lighting.
