Customization

Smart lighting control allows you to adjust your home’s lights using one intuitive controller, whether that’s a dedicated touch panel, your smartphone, voice command, or customized on-wall keypads. From your preferred control device, you can adjust lights in a single room, in multiple rooms, or throughout the entire home in seconds.  

Use automation and custom lighting scenes to set specific lighting preferences for different times of the day or special occasions. For instance, you can program your bedroom lights to slowly brighten in the morning just before your alarm goes off so that you wake up to a bright, energized room. In the evening, tap the “Relax” scene on your on-wall keypad or smartphone app to dim the lights in the dining room and kitchen or illuminate the patio as you step outside to enjoy the cool weather after a long day of work.

Natural Lighting

Do you ever find the lighting in your home to be too artificial or hard on your eyes? Do you wish that you could capture the glow of sunlight or moonlight inside the comfort of your own home? You can bring natural light to the indoors with Ketra tunable lighting solutions. Ketra, owned by Lutron, is a leader in tunable lighting systems that aim to bring the benefits of natural light indoors with temperature-changing bulbs and fixtures.
