Residential Systems are usually split into different types, which we will explain below.
Lutron Homeworks QS Lighting System:
Lutron Homeworks QS is Lutron's flagship residential lighting installation. You can have wireless, wired, or combined. You can integrate Sivoia QS Blinds, and the integration into other systems is almost guaranteed. HomeWorks also has patented technology like RTISS (real-time illumination stability system), which takes a rough 240v mains signal and cleans it prolonging lamp life and enhancing dimming.
All wiring from the electrician runs to a central location.
You would consider Lutron Homeworks QS when doing a new build and want the best quality dimming experience to complement your lighting design.
As Lutron HomeWorks QS is a tailored lighting experience, the only natural way to price the system up is to have a professional Lutron dealer survey your property.
Lutron Ra2 Select Wireless Lighting System:
This is Lutron's latest system to hit the market in late 2018 to early 2019. Ra2 Select is a wireless system based on a modular retrofit installation. Switches are all wireless, and so are the modules they communicate with.
It would be best to place a Lutron dimming/switching module where you want the light dimmed (at the light fitting itself). 5amp lighting is solved now with the latest 5amp Module.
You would consider using Ra2 Select if your budget was lower and you wanted to retrofit (install onto old cabling), not chase the walls, etc., and your installation was below 100 devices.
Lutron Ra2 Select will be cheaper than HomeWorks QS and will not have the same features. For retrofitting, you will find Lutron Ra2 Select is the better option.
