Is It Time to Upgrade Your LiteTouch Lighting System?

How Modern Lighting Control Solutions Deliver Reliability, Elegance, and Peace of Mind

Your LiteTouch lighting system was a premium choice when it was installed—sophisticated, reliable, and ahead of its time. But since the system was discontinued in 2015, parts have become increasingly scarce, and manufacturer support no longer exists. While many LiteTouch systems continue functioning today, the risk of unexpected failure grows with each passing year. The good news is that today's leading lighting solutions from Lutron and Control4 don't just replace what you have; they significantly upgrade it. At Allied Home Technologies, we help Fort Worth luxury homeowners navigate LiteTouch system upgrades to modern systems that deliver the reliability, app-based control, and elegant design integration your home deserves.

Why Proactive Replacement Makes Sense

When Savant discontinued the LiteTouch line, they also ended all manufacturer support and parts production. What remains available comes from limited stockpiles on secondary markets, often at premium prices with no guarantees. If a main controller fails, it compromises your entire lighting system—potentially leaving your home in darkness until replacement parts can be located.

Planning your upgrade now, while your system still functions, gives you time to explore options and make thoughtful decisions about features and aesthetics. Emergency replacements mean limited choices and rushed installations. A proactive approach allows for careful coordination with your home's design, scheduling that works around your life, and the opportunity to add capabilities that weren't possible with LiteTouch.

What Modern Systems Offer That LiteTouch Couldn't

Lighting control systems have evolved dramatically since LiteTouch's era. Today's Lutron HomeWorks and Control4 systems provide smartphone and tablet control from anywhere—a capability LiteTouch simply didn't offer. Adjust your lights from the office, create welcoming scenes before you arrive home, or check that everything's off while you're traveling.

Voice integration with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri brings effortless control that didn't exist when LiteTouch was designed. You can opt for tunable white lighting that adjusts color temperature throughout the day to support your circadian rhythm. Custom-programmed scenes coordinate your lighting with motorized shades, climate control, and entertainment systems. Modern systems also provide energy monitoring, automated presence detection, and regular software updates that keep your investment current with evolving technology.

Elegant Solutions from Lutron and Control4

Lutron HomeWorks is well-suited for LiteTouch replacements, often utilizing the same low-voltage wiring infrastructure already in your walls. This means transitions can happen with minimal disruption to your home's finishes. Control4 offers comprehensive whole-home automation, with lighting beautifully integrated.

Both systems feature designer-worthy keypads in premium finishes—brushed metal, glass, or custom colors that complement your interior design. Engraved, backlit buttons provide intuitive control while serving as intentional design elements rather than utilitarian necessities. Whether your aesthetic leans contemporary or traditional, these systems adapt to your vision with customizable layouts and dozens of finish options.
