Posted by: electime 10th June 2019

BEMCO, one of the larger independent electrical wholesalers in the UK and a specialist in smart home technologies for electricians, has announced a strategic partnership with the leading global brand in residential lighting control, Lutron.
“Joining the Lutron Advantage Programme marks our commitment to Lutron and our determination to drive forward our retrofit smart home business,” comments Julian Barkes, Director at BEMCO. “The retrofit market is vast and the appetite for smart home improvements is growing exponentially. Electricians are perfectly placed to take advantage of this opportunity and Lutron has the brand and product range to enable them to deliver. The RA2 Select product is simple, reliable and affordable and will enable our customers to give excellent service to their clients. We are offering our customers exclusive Lutron Training, across all our branches, and full technical support to help them complete projects.”
Under the Lutron Advantage Programme, BEMCO is making a substantial investment in Lutron training, stock and joint marketing initiatives so that they become true experts themselves. BEMCO will be focusing on the RA2 Select range which is ideal for houses or flats, whether it be retrofit, extension or new build, and either single or multi dwelling developments. RA2 Select is a quick and easy to install wireless lighting solution which allows personalised lighting and blind control for smart homes. It comprises a wireless ecosystem of keypads and sensors, in-line dimmers, switches and repeaters, running off its own network, so that even if the internet goes down, the system will still work.
“RA2 Select offers 80% of the functionality of Lutron’s flagship “HomeWorks” system at a fraction of the cost,” adds Julian. “It integrates seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Honeywell WiFi Thermostats, Nest and Sonos. As a lighting control solution for electricians, RA2 Select genuinely is a crowd pleaser and all-round game changer.”
