Qualification steps reference current public Lutron materials. Project recommendations should always be checked against the exact device, load, software and site conditions.

Qualification path

The public Lutron path from Preferred Pro to RadioRA 3 project work

Qualification is the gate to the RadioRA 3 design/programming workflow. Once that is in place, project support becomes much more concrete.

  1. 1
    Join Lutron Preferred Pro

    Complete Lutron’s professional-program application and account setup.

  2. 2
    Complete RadioRA 3 qualification training

    Train online at your own pace or use an instructor-led path when available.

  3. 3
    Receive Designer software access

    Qualification provides access to the design/programming tools required for RadioRA 3 work.

  4. 4
    Use Lutron’s project resources

    Training, consultation and homeowner-presentation resources help turn qualification into a repeatable sales and design process.

  5. 5
    Purchase through authorized distribution

    Source the RadioRA 3 products and project materials required for the final design.

Project support

What Simply Controlled can help you pressure-test before the order

The goal is not to take over your design. It is to help catch avoidable product, scope and procurement problems before they become jobsite problems.

BOM

Bill of materials review

Send a finished BOM, a SKU list or an early draft. We can help identify obvious missing pieces and ordering-path questions.

Application

Product and system fit

Work through the intended loads, control locations, keypads, processors, companion devices and system-level requirements.

Quote

Pricing and availability

Use us for a project-specific quote, availability check or a second sourcing option without abandoning an existing distributor relationship.

Fulfillment

Project package support

Once the scope is clean, we can help turn it into a coherent product package and Canadian fulfillment path.

Start with a real project

RadioRA 3 does not have to begin as a large whole-home system

A focused room or a clear client problem is often a better first project than trying to sell the entire house at once.

Kitchen + livingDimmers + keypads

Build coordinated scenes around the rooms the client uses most.

Retrofit additionsLamp + outdoor control

Add practical connected loads without forcing a larger automation brief.

Architectural lightingLumaris

Use tunable-white or RGB+tunable-white lighting where integrated architectural light improves the project.

Privacy + daylightOne or two Triathlon shades

Add shade control when privacy, glare or daylight is the client problem worth solving.

Project-driven expansion

Add shades or Lumaris because the project needs them—not because you need another category

The strongest expansion path is specific: solve a room-level problem, build the right package and learn the workflow on a real job.

Lumaris

Integrated architectural light inside RadioRA 3

Use Lumaris when tape light or connected downlights should participate in the same keypad, scene and app experience as the rest of the RA3 project.

Triathlon Select

A practical way to add shade control

If shades are not normally part of your work, start with a straightforward room where privacy or light control creates obvious client value.

Quote workflow

A simple handoff from rough scope to order

The BOM does not need to be perfect before the conversation starts.

01Send the project

Room, floorplan, load schedule, device list, BOM or simply a rough scope.

02Review the package

We work through obvious product/application issues, availability and missing pieces.

03Refine and quote

You get a cleaner ordering scope and a project-specific quote.

04Order when ready

Use Simply Controlled for the project when our support, quote or availability makes sense.

Already have a Lutron distributor?

Keep the relationship that is working. Preferred Pro does not lock you to one distributor, and our role is to be useful when another quote, availability check or set of eyes improves the project.

FAQ

RadioRA 3 dealer-support questions

Do I need a completed BOM before contacting Simply Controlled?

No. Send the BOM if you have it; otherwise send the room, floorplan, load schedule, device list or rough scope. The goal is to help turn an early project into a cleaner ordering package.

Do I need to buy all my Lutron products through Simply Controlled?

No. Keep the distributor relationship that works for your business. Use Simply Controlled when another quote, availability check, BOM review or project-specific sourcing path is useful.

Can Simply Controlled qualify me for RadioRA 3?

Lutron controls the qualification requirements and software access. We can help point you toward the current training path and support the project work around qualification.

Where do Lumaris and shades fit?

They fit when they solve something on the project. Lumaris can extend RA3 into architectural tape light and connected downlights; Triathlon shades can add privacy, glare and daylight control. Neither category needs to be forced into every job.

Move the project forward

Send us the BOM—or send the rough scope before the BOM exists.
