  Tom Shearer joined Lutron Electronics in 2001 as an electrical engineer with a background in power electronics. After developing fluorescent dimming ballasts, he led the development of Lutron LED driver products to achieve the same control performance as standard light sources on the market. Tom has been awarded patents in the areas of LED driver technology, and control of tunable white lighting.

  Tom works with industry-lighting designers and lighting fixture manufacturers to develop innovative control options for indoor and exterior lighting. He has worked on projects from high-end homes to museums to multi-building campuses to ensure effective control by coordinating specifications and control types from design to owner occupancy.

  As fluorescent lighting becomes obsolete in North America, Tom has worked with industry partners to create solutions to support lighting upgrades from fluorescent to LED that can be implemented without disrupting the use of the space.

  Tom is a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He has presented at technical seminars and conferences on the topic of LEDs, LED drivers, and lighting control in general.
