When designing a landscape lighting scheme, the goal is to create layered lighting that adds functionality and depth to outdoor spaces. Often forgotten in the process is the important role color temperatures play in setting the right ambiance and mood. In the past, that was partly due to the difficulty of having to choose different bulbs for each desired color temperature. 

But thanks to Coastal Source's new Ketra-enabled bullet fixture, you can adjust the color temperature without switching bulbs. This fixture offers full-spectrum tunable LED bulbs to easily meet the needs of your Westchester County, CT, home.
