    About Wood Blinds

    Lutron wood blinds are basswood slat blinds with a drive in the headrail. The electronic drive unit (EDU) tilts the slats and, on Sivoia QS, lifts them too.

    • Sivoia QS (085262, rev G): wired; independent lift and tilt stored as presets
    • Serena and Triathlon (085665, rev F): tilt only, with a cordless manual lift
    • Both: tilt noise 44 dBA at 3 ft (1 m), up to 40 °C (104 °F)
    • Not held: Palladiom, Palladiom Wire-Free, Commercial or Triathlon Select blinds
    • Triathlon (3671319, rev K): 2-inch basswood slats, 12 stained, 6 painted finishes

    Sizes and power

    The guide below prints each blind's sizes, power and mounting depths from its submittal. Sivoia QS takes Class 2, 35 V DC; Serena and Triathlon run on batteries, 12 V DC or manual tilt.

    Writing it into a tender

    How many batteries does a Lutron battery wood blind need?

    Submittal 085665 sets the count by outside-mount width: 12 AA lithium from 20 in (508 mm) to 28 in (711 mm).

    • 4 D-cell alkaline, 28 1/8 in (714 mm) to 42 1/8 in (1070 mm)

    • 12 D-cell alkaline with Battery Boost from 54 in (1372 mm)

    Does a Lutron wood blind need a power panel?

    Not always: the Sivoia QS blind (085262) takes 35 V DC from any listed QS supply.

    • QSPS-P1-1-35V, QSPS-P2-1-35V or QSPS-P3-1-35V plug-in: one drive (085329)
    • QSPS-J-1-35V junction box (085544); QSPS-10PNL, ten one-drive outputs (085335)

    How deep must the frame be for an inside-mount wood blind?

    At least 2 in (51 mm) for an inside-mount Serena or Triathlon blind, 3 5/8 in (92 mm) or more for a full recess (085665).

    • Sivoia QS pocket: 1.375 in (35 mm) clear before each bracket, 4 in (102 mm) deep

    How high does a Lutron wood blind stack when raised?

    • Measured from the bracket top to the bottom-rail underside

    Lutron calls these estimates because basswood varies; wood blinds are not intended for pocket installation.
