Designing a High-End Home in Orange County, CA With Lutron RadioRA 3

Published 1/26/2026

When building or renovating a luxury home in Orange County — whether it’s a contemporary residence in Newport Coast, a coastal hideaway in Laguna Beach, or a hillside retreat in Corona del Mar — every design choice matters. Lighting isn’t just functional anymore; it’s foundational. That’s why top builders, designers, and homeowners are incorporating Lutron RadioRA 3 into their high-end home projects.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we work hand-in-hand with architects, interior designers, and custom home builders to deliver seamless lighting control systems that enhance form, function, and lifestyle. RadioRA 3 is the perfect blend of elegance, intelligence, and simplicity for homes where design and performance must go hand in hand.

What Is Lutron RadioRA 3?

Lutron’s RadioRA 3 is a premium wireless lighting and shading control system that offers the power of smart automation with minimal impact on your construction timeline or interiors. It gives homeowners elegant control of lighting, motorized shades, and climate — all through custom wall keypads, mobile devices, or voice control.

Why it’s ideal for high-end homes in Orange County:

  • Works for both new construction and major renovations
  • Sleek, designer-focused keypad options like Sunline
  • Integrates with Savant, Control4, Josh.ai, and more
  • Scales from a few rooms to entire estates

RadioRA 3 delivers all the benefits of centralized lighting — without needing a fully wired infrastructure — making it a favorite for builders and designers seeking performance without compromise.

Design Advantages of RadioRA 3 in Luxury Residences

1. Minimalist Wall Design

RadioRA 3 reduces wall clutter by replacing banks of switches with a single, streamlined keypad. These keypads are not only functional but also highly customizable in both finish and layout.

Design-focused highlights:

  • Matches or complements premium materials like brass, matte black, or satin nickel
  • Backlit, laser-engraved buttons for clarity and elegance
  • Eliminates the need for multiple switches in open-concept spaces

This refined aesthetic is ideal for minimalist interiors and modern architectural styles.

2. Custom Lighting Scenes That Elevate the Home

Whether you're entertaining in the living room or relaxing by the pool, RadioRA 3 allows you to create lighting scenes tailored to each moment.

Common luxury lighting scenes:

  • “Entertain” – Dimmed dining lighting, glowing accent lights, and outdoor illumination
  • “Wake” – Soft lighting in the bedroom and bath, shades rise automatically
  • “Ocean Sunset” – Shades lowered to reduce glare, indirect lighting fades in
  • “All Off” – Shuts down the home with a single button

These scenes can be tied to time of day, occupancy, or voice control — giving you elegant automation that supports daily living.

3. Wireless Flexibility for Unique Architecture

Many high-end homes in Orange County feature unique layouts, architectural ceilings, or hard-to-reach areas. RadioRA 3 offers wireless installation flexibility, making it perfect for these complex designs.

Why that matters:

  • No need to chase wiring through finished walls or millwork
  • Works in remodels, additions, and multi-structure properties
  • Seamlessly adds control to garages, guest casitas, or outdoor spaces

Builders appreciate the ease of integration; designers love the unobtrusive finish.

4. Integration With Shades, Climate, and AV Systems

RadioRA 3 isn’t just about lighting — it connects to Lutron’s motorized shades, smart thermostats, and full home automation platforms. You can tie in climate control, security, and entertainment systems for a completely connected experience.

Integrated benefits:

  • Coordinate lighting and shades based on time of day or sunlight
  • Adjust thermostat when lights go off or when you leave the home
  • Link with AV scenes for movie night or outdoor entertaining
  • Voice control through Josh.ai or mobile apps for on-the-go management

The result is a home that responds to your lifestyle — automatically.
