Get Smart About Outdoor Lighting with Ketra & Coastal Source

No aspect of home design is as transformative as outdoor lighting. With the right illumination, you’ll be able to highlight landscaping and architectural features, create an inviting space for guests, and increase functionality and safety after dark. There have always been two challenges when it comes to building successful outdoor lighting solutions: finding fixtures strong enough to brave the elements and making them easy to manage.

Now, with Coastal Source’s Ketra-compatible lighting fixtures, both issues are a thing of the past. Combine Coastal Source’s weatherproof fixtures with Ketra’s tunable full-spectrum LED lighting that allows you to change color temperature and brightness for the perfect lighting for hosting parties or relaxing in your Fairfield, CT, home.

What Are Ketra-enabled Coastal Source Lighting Solutions?

In the past, you had to settle for whatever color temperature your light bulbs were. Usually, incandescent bulbs offered warmer tones, while LED ones offered cooler ones. Ketra’s tunable LED fixtures allow you to choose whatever hue you want, whether you prefer a warm, cozy glow or a bright, vibrant light. Ketra has an extensive palette of over 16 million colors.

The Ketra Ready Modulus Bullet Light, developed in collaboration with Coastal Source, adjusts color temperature from 1,400K to 10,000K. Why is Ketra pairing with Coastal Source such a game-changer? Their products are designed to withstand the elements, including extreme weather conditions like heavy rain, snow, and intense UV radiation. They do this through advanced sealing techniques, including watertight connections and robust gaskets, which protect the internal components from moisture and dust.

The Power of Smart Integration with Lutron

Combining Ketra-compatible fixtures with Lutron lighting control unlocks the full potential of your outdoor fixtures. Adjust brightness, color temperature, and more with just a few taps on your device of choice. With the ability to create and save personalized lighting scenes, your outdoor spaces are always perfectly illuminated for any occasion. Our team assists you in designing custom scenes that pull up specific temperatures that best suit the activity. Below are some common settings we set up for clients:

• Dining: Opt for a natural white light (around 3,000K-3,500K) to ensure clear visibility and a comfortable dining experience. This neutral tone provides ambient lighting without being too harsh when enjoying meals with friends and family.
• Relaxation: If you’re trying to decompress after a long day on the patio or by the pool, we recommend warmer, dimmed lights for a serene environment. You can program your Lutron system to gradually dim the lights as the evening progresses.
• Hosting: Cooler, dynamic lighting can add energy and excitement to your outdoor space. Using a dedicated touchpad or mobile app, you can easily switch between different scenes and adjust color temperatures and brightness levels to match the mood of the event.
• Security: Around your perimeters, we recommend motion-activated lights with cooler white light (around 5,000K-6,000K) to provide better surveillance visuals while also deterring potential intruders.
