How often do you say in your household, “who left the lights on?” Oh my goodness! It seems like every time I look around those words are coming out of my mouth more than I would like. I find myself frequently turning off the bathroom and kitchen light everyday those two places seem to be the hot spots and it drives me nuts!
I informed my husband that I wanted the Lutron occupancy/vacancy sensor dimmer and switch installed in the kitchen. I felt that it was the best place to install it since that light is always on. Especially since the kids are always leaving this light on every night and day. It stays on all day long just burning energy and no one’s even in there!
The Lutron Maestro® occupancy/vacancy sensing switch has many different settings that can be programmed, each setting can and will automatically turns lights on and off whenever you enter or leave the room. You have the option to set the lights on high, medium, or low setting. If there is no motion detected in that room, the light will automatically turn off-what a convenient way to save energy right! also!
I can now say that ever since he has installed the Lutron occupancy/vacancy sensor dimmer, we can now walk into the kitchen and the lights come on and off on their on.
The kids have been fascinated by this switch, and every time they walk into the kitchen you can hear one of them shouting out how amazing it is!
I definitely would recommend adding a few of these energy saving switches to your laundry room, bathrooms, and especially the kids bathroom: the moment anyone walks into the bathroom the light will turn on automatically for them! The Lutron Maestro® occupancy/vacancy sensing switch will be great not only for the rooms listed above, but also hallways, living rooms, and stairway-or anywhere you may leave lights on.
They come available in a variety of colors to match any room. The Lutron Maestro sensors come in two sizes for small and large rooms retailing from $29-$41.50 as well.

I would like to have one of these in my bathroom, it seems like that light is on all day and night. I think it would save me a lot of money on my electric bill.
This would be so awesome to have! My 3 year old is constantly turning and leaving lights on all over the house. My 1 year old can’t reach the switches yet, but she likes to get things from her room. Not to mention it would save me a ton of money since I can’t ever seem to remember to go through the house before I leave and turn off all those lights my 3 year old turned on.
I think this is a great product, my husband and daughter tend to leave the bathroom light on and I am all for saving on the energy bill, so this would definitely come in handy.
I would use one of these once my kids get a little older. Right now I have two that won’t walk into the hall or bathroom if there isn’t a light already on.
The Lutron Lighting sensor looks great. Who couldn’t use several of them in their house. I go around turning off switches all day long, children are the worst.
This is a neat idea, but not sure how necessary it is. We are pretty good at turning lights off when we leave a room, maybe when we have older kids, but hopefully we can teach them to turn the lights of and make it a habit.
This would sure save on energy! Unfortunately, in this apartment building, we are not allowed to install anything like this. It’s a shame…I wish I could use it.
I haven’t seen these before. Not sure they’d work here since my boyfriend has poor eyesight and needs the bright light though.
Those look awesome!

NEVER SEEN ONE… INTERESTING… WOULD LOVE TO TRY! THANKS!
This is absolutely genius! I’m just as guilty as my kids of leaving lights on. This would be great for every room of our house!

Great info, I could find several uses for this. Thanks for the heads up!

I have seen these and was considering buying some. I wonder if pets will set them off easily though?

I could use this at the front and back doors and in the closets. I like it.

This would be nice to have to save energy in our household!
I would install this in our living room or maybe the kitchen.
My kids are pretty good about not leaving the lights on when they leave a room. They forget every now and again though so this would come in handy!
I love ours. Such a great energy saver.
Think we need these in the bathrooms!
Something like this would work great in my house. Sometimes I feel like my kids randomly walk through the house leaving lights on!
