LIGHT TOUCH Ever get that feeling that you're about to live out a horror movie when you come home at night to a dark house? Lutron's AuroRA kit puts those fears to rest. When you pull up in your car, just tap the portable wireless controller to immediately turn on up to five lights in your house. A home tabletop controller is included, too, and since the system works via RF technology, installation is super-simple.

DIM VIEW Each of the five included switches is equipped with a dimmer to save on power or set the mood. They stay in touch with the controllers via an RF antenna module (not shown) that you can even put under your bed. You know, to keep those monsters company. $750. lutron.com, 888-588-7661
