Coves and ceiling details
Indirect light can outline architecture and support ambient scenes when setback, reflection, extrusion and output are coordinated with the room.
System-native tunable white and RGB architectural light
Lutron Lumaris Tunable White and RGB Tape Light
Lutron Lumaris tape light turns architectural accent lighting into a native part of HomeWorks QSX or RadioRA 3. Current options include tunable white, soft white, daylight and RGB plus tunable white, with system controllers that manage intensity and color without a separate third-party lighting gateway. Davis Audio & Video designs the tape, controller, power, extrusion, wiring and service access as one system before millwork and finishes close around it.
Current outputs Tunable White, Soft White, Daylight and RGB + Tunable White
Primary white range 1,800K-4,000K with 90+ CRI for current Tunable White and RGB + Tunable White
Dimming and output 0.1%-100%; 200 lumens per foot of white light
System compatibility HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3 with system-specific wireless controllers
Integrator guidance
Lutron Lumaris Tape Light in a complete system designed by Davis Audio & Video.
Tape lighting is often specified as a decorative detail but installed as an afterthought. Lumaris brings the light source, connectors, wiring, power interfaces, extrusions and Clear Connect Type X controller into a documented Lutron family. That gives the lighting designer and integrator a defined path from LED tape to keypad, scene, app and broader home routine.
The output choice should follow the room. Tunable White provides precise warm-to-neutral white light, while RGB plus Tunable White adds saturated color without sacrificing a dedicated white-light engine. Soft White and Daylight variants extend the available ranges for specific applications. Exact reels, cut increments, controller capacity and connector requirements vary by tape type.
Davis Audio & Video coordinates the illuminated surface, sightline, extrusion, diffuser, feed location, conductor length, controller placement, power-interface access and Lutron programming. That work helps avoid visible LED dots, dark gaps, inaccessible components, voltage or run-length problems and a finished millwork detail that cannot be serviced.
Where Lumaris tape light fits best
Lumaris is well suited to architectural details that need high-quality white light, native Lutron scenes and a serviceable engineered installation.
Shelves and display millwork
Field-cuttable tape can follow repeated details while approved connectors, feed locations and diffusers maintain continuity and access.
Under-cabinet task lighting
Tunable-white output can support kitchen or workspace tasks when glare control, mounting position, extrusion and switching behavior are designed correctly.
Entertainment and media spaces
RGB plus Tunable White can add deliberate color scenes while retaining 90+ CRI white light for normal room use.
HomeWorks and RadioRA 3 projects
Lumaris can join existing compatible keypads, scenes and schedules after controller type, processor capacity and Type X coverage are verified.
What a native Lumaris solution adds
Dedicated white-light performance
Tunable White and RGB plus Tunable White provide 90+ CRI white light from 1,800K to 4,000K rather than relying on mixed RGB for everyday illumination.
Deep Lutron dimming
Current product pages specify flicker-free control from 0.1 percent to full output through the native system.
Full-color option
The five-channel RGB plus Tunable White tape provides 16.7 million color choices in addition to its dedicated tunable-white channels.
System-native scenes
Lumaris intensity and color can join HomeWorks or RadioRA 3 keypads, app control and programmed room scenes.
Documented installation ecosystem
Lutron supplies matching controllers, interfaces, connectors, cable and extrusion options with published run and wiring rules.
Professional design
Why tape-light details must be resolved before millwork
A reel length is not the same as an allowable illuminated run. The Tunable White Controller supports up to 16.4 feet, while the Multi-Channel Controller supports up to 49.2 feet of tunable-white tape or 32.8 feet of RGB plus Tunable White, using parallel runs no longer than 16.4 feet. Cut intervals also differ: current tunable-white tape cuts every 2 inches, while RGB plus Tunable White cuts every 4 inches. Davis Audio & Video documents each segment and feed before fabrication.
Control and power hardware must remain accessible and within the Type X design. Lutron prohibits mounting wireless controllers in or on metal enclosures, limits compatible cable and connector arrangements and excludes damage from non-Lutron tape or power components from warranty coverage. Davis Audio & Video coordinates ventilated, reachable locations and matches each HomeWorks or RadioRA 3 controller to the intended tape and interface.
Lumaris tape-light integration within a Davis Audio & Video system
HomeWorks QSX
HomeWorks can coordinate Lumaris intensity and color with premium keypads, schedules, automated shades and broader integrated-home scenes.
RadioRA 3
RadioRA 3 supports system-specific Lumaris controllers as Type X devices and provides app, keypad and Day/Night programming options.
Control4 and professional automation
A supported Lutron integration can recall approved system scenes without dividing native Lumaris behavior between unrelated control platforms.
Automated shades and room scenes
Compatible shades and other Lutron lighting can share entertaining, task, evening and away scenes with the tape-light zones.

Planning notes
Lumaris tape-light design considerations
- Select Tunable White, Soft White, Daylight or RGB plus Tunable White from the room's tasks, materials and desired scenes.
- Document actual cut lengths, parallel runs, connectors, cable and controller capacity instead of specifying only total reel footage.
- Coordinate profile, lens, setback, reflected surface, LED visibility, heat management, corners and connector clearance with the millwork detail.
- Provide reachable controller and power-interface locations outside metal enclosures, with ventilation and a service path after finishes are complete.
- Include each controller in the assigned HomeWorks or RadioRA 3 processor layout and verify nearby compatible devices and interference separation.

FAQs
Product questions
What is Lutron Lumaris tape light?
Lumaris is Lutron's native architectural tape-light family for compatible HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3 systems. It combines Lutron LED tape, system-specific wireless controllers, approved connectors, wiring and power components with keypad, scene and app control.
What is the difference between Tunable White and RGB plus Tunable White?
Tunable White provides adjustable high-quality white light from 1,800K to 4,000K. RGB plus Tunable White adds saturated colors while retaining dedicated 90+ CRI white-light channels across the same white range.
How low does Lumaris tape light dim?
Lutron's current product pages specify flicker-free dimming from 0.1 percent to 100 percent for Tunable White and RGB plus Tunable White through the native control platform.
How long can one Lumaris tape-light run be?
A Tunable White Controller supports up to 16.4 feet. A Multi-Channel Controller supports up to 49.2 feet of tunable-white tape or 32.8 feet of RGB plus Tunable White, divided into parallel runs no longer than 16.4 feet.
Can Lumaris tape light be cut in the field?
Yes. Current tunable-white tape is cuttable every 2 inches, while RGB plus Tunable White is cuttable every 4 inches. Lutron's specified connectors and cable must be used for cut segments.
Can third-party LED tape be used with a Lumaris controller?
The current specification defines compatible Lutron tape, controllers, connectors, wiring and power components and excludes warranty coverage for problems caused by incompatible products. Davis Audio & Video specifies the complete approved assembly.
Does Lumaris tape light require an aluminum extrusion?
Lutron offers multiple compatible extrusions, and an extrusion is normally valuable for alignment, diffusion, protection and thermal management. The correct profile depends on the tape type, connectors, millwork and viewing angle.
Can Lumaris tape light work with Control4?
A supported Control4 integration can recall approved HomeWorks or RadioRA 3 scenes that include Lumaris zones. Lutron should remain the native lighting-control layer, with command scope and scene ownership defined during design.
