Coopersburg, PA– Energy-saving lighting control manufacturer Lutron Electronics is pleased to announce that its new Serena cellular shades have been awarded a Product of the Year Award by Electronic House magazine. Serena shades won in the Motorized Window Treatments category.

Introduced in November of 2011, Serena cellular shades are battery-powered, remote controlled, and have a starting price of $299. Serena shades allow homeowners to create the perfect movie-watching environment in living rooms, ensure privacy in the bathroom, and turn bedrooms into the ultimate relaxation chamber - all with a remote control.

Additionally, the shades feature new, patent-pending Triathlon™ power technology, which extends the shade’s battery life up to three years. Using standard D batteries, Serena can be installed as quickly and easily as hanging a picture, but without any damage to the walls.

According to Electronic House officials, products were reviewed and selected by a panel of consumer electronics industry experts, along with the editors of Electronic House and CE Pro magazines.
