As designers in the home automation field, there are few technologies more impactful than today’s advanced LED lighting systems, particularly Ketra Lighting. The company holds over 70 patents and can be seen in some of the nation’s most prestigious institutions, like the Art Institute of Chicago and the internationally renowned architecture firm, Bjarke Ingels Group.

Today, it is the lighting system of choice for luxury homeowners. Why?

In 2018, when Lutron, the global leader in lighting control, acquired Ketra, it transformed the possibilities for illuminating our homes. The Ketra lighting system became effortless to manage and could be changed at the touch of a button or voice command. 

Here, we’ll explore how this technology is using the power of light to create spaces of beauty and enhanced well-being in Fairfax County, VA.

You Know When You Enter a Home with Ketra Lighting

So, what makes Ketra stand out above the rest? Is it the 16.7 million colors of high-quality light that let designers and homeowners use light like a paintbrush? Perhaps it’s Ketra’s Natural Light technology that weaves the energy of the sun through a home, seemingly bringing daylight indoors. Or maybe it’s their one-of-a-kind Vibrancy technology, tunable white light that makes paintings, artwork, and textures come to life.

At A.B.E. Networks, we believe it’s something more. When you walk into a home illuminated with Ketra lighting, you can sense the difference, as if you’ve stepped into nature within four walls. There’s something extraordinary, a hint of magic with invisible technology at its core. 

Technology that’s Redefining Light

Ketra’s fixtures contain built-in sensors that adjust and monitor the color output. Even more astounding is that this technology monitors the output 360 times per second. This creates consistent lighting throughout a home and colors that ring true and natural. This lighting also dims to 0.1%, providing the softest candlelight glow at dinner to the brightest saturated hues for hosting events. 

Creating a Sense of Well-Being

Numerous studies show that natural light has a significant impact on the human body and emotions. It promotes feelings of happiness, lowers stress, and helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, which is part of the body’s circadian rhythm or internal clock. This clock signals your body when to sleep and when to wake, and is mainly influenced by light and darkness. 

And that’s where Ketra’s Natural Light comes in. 

Natural light is found in sunlight, firelight, and moonbeams. It’s often breathtaking in its beauty and powerful in its effects. Ketra found a way to bring this dynamic range of natural light indoors. 

Their patented technology uses information from a geolocator to shift the color and intensity of indoor lights across a dynamic spectrum, mirroring the changing light outdoors. You wake to the shimmering golden-blue glow of dawn, feel energized under the bright white-blue hue of midday, and relax amidst the colors of a setting sun. 

Invoking Brilliance

At A.B.E. Networks, we believe Ketra has redefined the possibilities in lighting design. As the Washington D.C. Metro area’s premier technology integration firm and lighting design specialists, we’re excited to bring this technology to our clients.
