Lutron Lighting Fixtures Elevate and Inspire Every Setting

A home’s lighting has become much more than a way to perform tasks after dark. Today, it is an essential part of luxury home design, instantly transforming rooms, elevating mood, and enhancing aesthetics. 

To get the most out of this extraordinary element, many leading lighting designers partner with Lutron and its subsidiary, Ketra. Together, they create exceptional lighting experiences through high-performance fixtures and the controls that make them effortless to manage. 

Here, we’ll explore some of the many ways and reasons lighting designers turn to Lutron.

High-Performance Lighting Fixtures

Top lighting designers appreciate Ketra’s high Color Rendering Index (CRI), which reveals the truest colors in materials, artwork, and skin tones. At over 90 CRI, designers know that the colors are accurately represented, appearing in much the same way they do in natural light. 

This high CRI helps homes feel warm, welcoming, and vibrant, rather than washed out and distorted, significantly enhancing the overall aesthetics. 

Tunable Spectrum

Ketra’s 4-channel full-spectrum lighting offers the broadest color temperature range in the industry, spanning 1,400K–10,000K. From nearly limitless white colors to soft pastels and vibrant saturated hues, light is used like a painter’s palette to evoke feelings and create sensory experiences. 

By integrating with Lutron controls, this lighting can be adjusted with a tap of an elegant keypad, enabling effortless control that adapts to moods, activities, or the time of day.  

It can also intelligently match the color temperature and intensity of natural light. This creates the sense of bringing the outdoors inside, filling a home with natural light during the day and a warm, cozy, and relaxing environment in the evening. 

A Touch of Vibrancy

Ketra possesses over 70 patents, making it the world’s most innovative light source. One of Ketra’s “first of its kind” features is vibrancy, or tunable white light that remixes the balance of green, red, and blue. By shifting the balance of these colors, designers and homeowners can bring artwork, décor, and architectural features to life, making it more vivid, from enhancing natural colors and textiles to enriching wood tones. 

For this reason, many museums and art galleries use Ketra to enhance visual impact. 

Multiple Finishes and Designs

With numerous styles to choose from, each room is guaranteed fixtures that complement the overall aesthetics and a home that takes advantage of layers of light. Varying Ketra lamps can create focused lighting or a decorative omnidirectional glow. Adjustable track lighting tilts and adjusts to optimize placement. Hidden lightbars and tape lights create breathtaking lighting from an unseen source.

Lamps are also designed to bring Ketra lighting to decorative fixtures, such as pendants, sconces, and floor lamps. Their latest creations, Ketra D2 and Rania D2 LED downlights, align with the quiet ceiling trend. Barely noticeable 2-inch apertures retain a minimalist appearance while delivering Ketra’s stunning illumination.

Trubeam for Precise Optics

Precision optics let designers place light exactly where they want it. Light beams range from wide distribution to narrow spot lighting, ensuring well-placed lighting that transforms the ambiance, creating a warm, inviting space with dynamic contrasts, and enabling the architectural use of multi-colored light sources that feel natural and uniform.

How Integrators and Designers Collaborate

The partnership between integrators and designers offers numerous benefits, particularly during new construction. It balances form and function, ensuring the optimum design and beautiful fixtures that perform as intended.  

Complex lighting systems, such as modern tunable LED systems and human-centric lighting, are properly designed, installed, and programmed, preventing costly rework when initiated after the design phase. Pre-wiring, ensuring space for drivers, and positioning keypads during the initial build phase ensure ideal placement for both design and functionality.
