Get the Perfect Lighting Every Time With Expert Design and Intuitive Controls 

Is your lighting working for you? It shouldn’t be a static feature brightening up rooms. It should adapt to your needs throughout the day. Expert lighting design lets you create spaces that shift from work to leisure to relaxation on command. By commanding Ketra’s versatile tunable LED fixtures with Lutron lighting control, you can craft an environment that caters to daily activities while promoting overall health and wellness. Here’s how we set up a lighting plan that enriches your lifestyle and elevates your space.

Understanding the Importance of Lighting Zones

Every room in your home serves a different purpose, and your lighting needs to reflect that. The lighting design for watching movies in your theater will vary drastically from the one you need for prepping dinner in the kitchen. The first step to any great design is identifying all the key lighting zones in your home. 

Identify Key Areas of Your Home

Which areas need different lighting styles? Maybe there's a home office where bright task lighting helps you focus, alongside a cozy living room that calls for softer lights to help you unwind after a long day.

Consider the bedroom. Creating a serene retreat might mean incorporating adjustable lighting options that provide warm illumination for reading or to help you ease into sleep. Every area tells its own story while maintaining a sense of harmony and balance throughout your property.

Designated Lighting for Varied Activities

Once you have distinct zones, you’ll then want to refine your lighting further for each activity within them. In the kitchen, for instance, cool bright task lighting over counter areas is essential for cooking up culinary masterpieces. Smart controls then let you quickly transition your kitchen from a bustling hub to a romantic setting for dinner with friends. Think about how tweaking light levels can change the mood of gatherings. 

Embracing Dynamic Lighting Systems

Create dynamic lighting by combining Ketra tunable fixtures with Lutron. This way, you manage intensity and color temperature from your device of choice. Even integrate automated schedules to transition from warm to cool tones that mimic sunlight. 

Start your day in your home office, energized by bright, cool light, and then shift to warmer, softer hues in the dining area as you gather around the table for a meal. With smart lighting systems, these transitions can be automated to sync with your day-to-day routine. 

Health and Wellness Integration

Lighting has a profound impact on health and wellness, too. Studies indicate that exposure to natural light boosts your mood. By utilizing tunable lighting solutions, you can mimic sunlight to stabilize your body’s natural rhythms, promoting better sleep and increased energy throughout the day. 

How Do You Want to Control Your Lighting? 

Take Control from Your Device of Choice 

One of the perks of working with Lutron lighting systems is that you’re not stuck dealing with an on-off switch or a mobile app. There are a plethora of options to choose from. Opt for sleek on-wall keypads and dimmers, quick-response touchpads, schedules, sensors, and remotes. 

Voice-Activated Convenience with Josh.ai

Simply ask your lighting to match your mood. With voice control technology like Josh.ai, managing your lighting becomes almost effortless. Just say the word and the system responds. Speak naturally to ask it to turn on bright lights for a work session or dim them for a relaxing evening.

Make Multiple Changes Simultaneously With Custom Scenes

Design custom scenes tailored to the day ahead. Whether you're preparing for a bright, productive morning or winding down in a soft glow after a long day, having the ability to set the atmosphere with a single touch enhances your living experience.
