The Rise of Intelligent Lighting Control in UK Homes — Trends, Stats & Why Lutron Systems Are a Smart Choice
Intelligent lighting control systems are rapidly changing the way people across the UK live, work, and relax in their homes. No longer simply a luxury, smart lighting solutions are becoming mainstream as homeowners seek greater convenience, energy efficiency, and personalised control over their living spaces. In this blog, we’ll explore the current industry statistics on intelligent lighting control adoption in UK residential properties, explain why Lutron lighting systems are among the most respected in the market, and highlight how ESAV’s intelligent lighting control services can help you bring this transformative technology into your home.
Smart Home Growth in the UK: The Bigger Picture
The UK smart home market continues to grow at an impressive pace. Recent data shows that roughly 39% of UK households now use smart devices — and this figure is projected to grow significantly in the coming years, potentially surpassing 50% by 2027 as connected technology becomes more affordable and desirable.
While many households start with smart speakers and thermostats, smart lighting is one of the fastest-growing categories. Current statistics indicate that approximately 18% of UK homes have adopted smart lighting solutions, and this number is rising steadily as homeowners recognise the benefits of automated and easily controllable lighting systems.
Why Intelligent Lighting Control Matters
Intelligent lighting control does more than make bulbs “smart.” These systems allow for:
Automated scenes and schedules — setting ideal lighting for waking up, relaxing, entertaining, or dining.
Voice and app control — adjust lighting simply by speaking or tapping your smartphone.
Energy savings and sustainability — smart controls can dim, turn off, or adjust lights based on occupancy or daylight levels.
Enhanced safety and security — programmed lighting can act as a deterrent by simulating occupancy while you’re away.
Studies show that smart lighting adoption in smart homes is expected to grow faster than many other categories, thanks to these advantages and its seamless integration with wider smart home platforms.
Residential Intelligent Lighting Controls: The UK Market Trend
Although commercial spaces still dominate overall smart lighting investment, residential lighting control systems are gaining momentum. Analysts note that more than 30% of new smart home installations in the UK now include lighting control as a core feature — a sign that homeowners are increasingly prioritising intelligent lighting to enhance convenience, comfort, and energy usage.
Wireless technologies are a major driver here, giving flexibility to retrofit intelligent lighting systems into existing homes without extensive rewiring. This accessibility is making intelligent lighting control an attractive upgrade for both modern builds and traditional properties undergoing renovation.
Why Choose Lutron for Intelligent Lighting Control
When it comes to intelligent lighting control, Lutron stands out as a leading choice, especially in premium residential installations. Here’s why:

2. Seamless Customisation & Scenes

Whether you want gentle evening lighting or bright task lighting in a kitchen, Lutron makes it easy to dial in exactly the ambiance you want.
3. Strong Integration with Smart Home Platforms
