Legrand Adds Soraa to
Vantage Lighting Fixture
Alliance Roster
LEGRAND'S LIGHTING control brand Vantage has added
retrofittable lamp manufacturer Soraa: Simply Perfect Light, a
division of Korrus, to its growing lighting fixture alliance. With
this partnership, integrators and their customers can expect
a seamless pairing between Soraa best-in-class spectral technology
and Vantage lighting controls.
Soraa VIVID Brilliant and Warm Dim lamps are guaranteed
to work with Vantage's InFusion controller and the company's
customizable keypads and touchpanels, according to Vantage.
The end-to-end solution enables control of a fixture's saturation,
hue, intensity, and color temperature.
" Soraa beautifully demonstrates the power that lighting has
to transform a room and the mood, " says Dave Keller, business
development, Legrand Residential Shading & Controls. " Together
with our controller, the lighting environment can be fully and
effortlessly realized. We're so excited to expand our offering of
compatible lighting fixture options for our installers, designers,
and architects looking to utilize Soraa in their plans. "
Soraa, a longtime popular commercial market solution and
option for upgrading home lighting from halogen to LED, was
founded by Nobel Prize Laureate Shuji Nakamura, who pioneered
full-spectrum light to enhance natural quality light
indoors. With Soraa's unique spectral lighting technology that
produces truer colors, brighter whites, and richer reds, the
company is widely adopted by lighting specifiers for museum, art
gallery, and high-end retail settings.
It's equally beneficial at home - from illuminating art collections
to accentuating home furnishings, textiles, and finishes,
Vantage notes. When combined with Vantage's LHUMAN Human
Centric Lighting solution featuring design-friendly control
touchpanels or keypads and automated shading from Legrand
Shading Systems, homeowners
can intelligently render
the perfect lighting environment
for any task or mood.
" We're very excited to
The inclusion ensures
compatibility with
InFusion and LHUMAN
technology and devices.

partner with Vantage and be
part of their lighting alliance, "
says Steve Glenn, director
of High-End Residential at
Soraa. " Vantage's keypad aesthetics
and control solutions
are second to none: intuitive,
easy to program, and beyond
the expectations of the
homeowner. "
Parks' Study Cites EV
Ownership Ahead of
Smart Home Curve
ACCORDING TO PARKS ASSOCIATES' latest consumer
study, nearly three-quarters of all electric vehicle (EV) owners
also own at least one type of smart home device. This is
compared to 38% of all U.S. Internet households. The study
also found that EV owners were also five times more likely
to own a smart appliance.
The study, " Electric Vehicles and the Smart Home, "
measures adoption of EVs, including the charging and usage
habits of owners, purchase intention for non-owners, and
the barriers to buying. It also analyzes consumer interest in
utilizing their EV as a connected car and energy storage device
and dives deeper into the relationship EV owners and
intended owners have with technology, energy programs
offered by their providers, and their demographics.
" EV owners have a comfort with tech and new product
categories, so they are a key segment for smart home players
to target and serve, " says Chris White, senior analyst,
Parks Associates.
" They are more likely to have video doorbells, smart
thermostats, and security systems, but more notably they
are willing and able to invest in big-ticket devices like smart
appliances and less-commonly owned smart devices like
smart sprinkler systems. "
These findings and more were discussed in depth during
CEDIA Expo in a session, " The Role of Energy Management
in the Future Home, " in which Parks Associates offered
insights and exploration into the emerging category, its catalysts
and what it means for residential technology integrators,
designers and construction professionals.
Looking at total EV ownership, Parks Associates found
that 6% of all U.S. Internet households owned an EV at the
end of 2021. Of those remaining, however, 19% said they
were likely to purchase an EV within the next year.
While being more likely to own smart home devices
than the general population, the devices in particular are
predominantly smart thermostats and video doorbells. This,
according to Parks Associates opens opportunities among
device and car manufacturers to open up integration between
cars and homes, adding new, unique services.
As the firm notes, partnerships play a critical role in the
growth of the smart home and EV markets. This can be
evidenced, Parks states, by partnerships like ADT and Ford,
which have formed a new company, Canopy, that combines
ADT's professional security monitoring and Ford's AI-driven
camera technology to better secure vehicles.
