    What is Lutron Vive?

    A wireless commercial lighting control system that makes both new and existing buildings more efficient, comfortable and productive — without the cost and disruption of control wiring.

    For Specifiers

    Simple to design, code-compliant solutions for new build and retrofit. Vive Designer+ software speeds up specification and layout.

    For Contractors

    Up to 70% faster to install than wired control. No chasing walls, no control cabling. Commission from a phone with step-by-step guidance.

    For Building Owners

    Cut energy use with occupancy and daylight control. Make changes via the Vive app — add or move devices without rewiring or call-outs.

    For Any Building

    From a single room to a whole campus. No hub for stand-alone spaces; add a Vive Hub for centralised timeclocks, reporting and integration.

    Key Features & Benefits

    Wireless commercial control engineered for speed, savings and scale.

    Wireless Installation

    No control wiring and no wall chasing. Devices mount on almost any surface, cutting labour and disruption on occupied sites.

    Energy Savings

    Occupancy control, daylight harvesting and timeclock scheduling reduce lighting energy and help meet Part L requirements.

    Scalable Architecture

    Start with one area and expand over time. Add or relocate sensors, keypads and controllers without re-engineering the system.

    Occupancy Sensing

    Ceiling and wall sensors switch or dim lighting automatically as spaces are used and vacated, eliminating wasted runtime.

    Daylight Harvesting

    Daylight sensors trim artificial light as natural light rises, maintaining target levels in perimeter zones and classrooms.

    App & Central Control

    Program with the Vive app; add the Vive Hub and Vive Vue for centralised timeclocks, energy reporting and analytics.

    Fast Commissioning

    Pair and program devices on site in minutes. Facilities teams adjust scenes and timers later without specialist tools.

    Retrofit-Friendly

    Works with existing building wiring and a wide range of loads — phase, 0-10V, DALI and switching — so refurbishments stay simple.

    System Operation

    How Lutron Vive Works

    Vive links wireless sensors, controllers and keypads into an adaptive system that responds automatically to how a space is used.

    1. 1

      Sensors collect data

      Occupancy and daylight sensors monitor presence and light levels in real time.

    2. 2

      Controls communicate wirelessly

      Devices talk over Lutron's wireless protocol, with an optional Vive Hub coordinating multiple areas.

    3. 3

      Lighting adjusts automatically

      Controllers dim or switch loads to scenes, schedules and sensor input — with manual override on keypads.

    4. 4

      Energy & comfort are optimised

      The right light at the right time reduces energy use while keeping occupants comfortable.

    Save Time, Save Labour

    Solve Problems. Adjust Effortlessly.

    Program quickly from your phone with step-by-step instructions, then adapt to inevitable change by adding or moving wireless components — no rewiring required.

    Quicker installation, stocked product at distribution and simple updates mean projects finish faster, stay on budget, and keep pace with the building over time.

    Lutron Vive UK — Wireless Commercial Lighting Control Guide

    Everything you need to know about specifying Lutron Vive wireless lighting controls for commercial and smart-building projects in the UK.

    Wireless What are wireless lighting controls?

    Wireless lighting control systems like Vive replace hard-wired control cabling with reliable wireless communication between sensors, controllers and keypads. That removes control wiring from the installation, which is why Vive suits retrofits and occupied buildings so well.

    Commercial Commercial lighting control systems

    Vive is a commercial lighting control system built for offices, schools, retail, hospitality and healthcare. It scales from a single room to whole buildings and integrates occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, scheduling and personal control.

    Smart Buildings Smart building lighting

    With a Vive Hub, the system supports timeclocks, demand response, energy reporting and integration via BACnet, web APIs and Open ADR — making Vive a practical foundation for smart-building lighting strategies.

    Energy How much energy can Vive save?

    Savings come from occupancy control, daylight harvesting and scheduling. Daylight-rich perimeter zones often see the largest reductions. Actual savings depend on occupancy patterns and the existing lighting design.

    Retrofit Retrofit lighting control

    Because there is no control wiring, Vive is one of the most retrofit-friendly Lutron lighting control systems available — ideal for refurbishments where speed and minimal disruption matter.

    Loads Compatible load types

    Vive supports phase dimming, 0-10V, DALI and switching, so it works with a wide range of fixtures and drivers. Mixed load types can be combined within one building.

    Compliance UK building regulations

    Automatic controls such as occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting support Part L energy requirements. We can advise on how Vive fits your project's compliance obligations.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Lutron Vive?

    Lutron Vive is a wireless commercial lighting control system for new build and retrofit projects. It combines wireless dimmers, switches, occupancy and daylight sensors and Pico keypads to deliver automated, energy-efficient lighting control, and can grow over time without rewiring.

    Is Vive suitable for retrofits?

    Yes. Vive is designed for retrofits. Because it is wireless, there is no control cabling to install, so devices fit into existing buildings quickly with minimal disruption to occupants.

    Does Vive require rewiring?

    No control rewiring is required. Load controllers use existing power wiring at the fixture or switch, and sensors and keypads communicate wirelessly, so there is no low-voltage control cabling to run.

    Can Vive integrate with existing lighting?

    Yes. Vive offers phase dimming, 0-10V, DALI and switching control to match a wide range of existing fixtures and drivers, and different load types can be combined within the same building.

    What buildings is Vive best for?

    Vive suits offices, schools and universities, retail, hospitality, healthcare and public buildings — essentially any commercial space with multiple zones and varying occupancy. It scales from single rooms to large multi-building sites.

    How much energy can Vive save?

    Savings come from occupancy control, daylight harvesting and scheduling, and are typically greatest in daylight-rich perimeter zones. The exact figure depends on how spaces are used and the existing lighting design.

    Do I need a Vive Hub?

    No hub is required for stand-alone spaces. A Vive Hub is recommended where you need centralised timeclocks across zones, demand response, energy reporting, or integration with other building systems.

    Can Mr Resistor help specify the system?

    Yes. As a Lutron partner, Mr Resistor provides specification support, competitive quotations, commercial guidance and project assistance for Vive. Email info@mr-resistor.co.uk or call 020 8874 2234.

    How do I request a quotation?

    Send your project details — building type, number of zones and the control features you need — to info@mr-resistor.co.uk, or call 020 8874 2234. We will recommend the right components and provide a competitive quote.
