Connecting to Nature

Over 85% of homeowners believe a connection with nature is essential in their home's design. To accomplish this, they lean toward natural materials, such as rock and wood, and earth tones in their home's furnishings and colors. However, one of the best ways to connect with nature is to bring in natural light.

Diffuse sunlight that reduces UV rays while optimizing daylight is the best approach for integrating the light that illuminates the world. Almost 90% of homeowners also want window coverings that optimize their views. Motorized shades with sheer weaves offer the perfect solution, retaining a home's views while reducing harmful direct sunlight.

Throughout the day, they automatically adjust, bringing in just the right amount of daylight to enhance a home's ambient lighting. 

Enhancing Wellness

Lutron's Ketra also offers natural light, precisely mimicking sunlight's changing color and intensity. The result is a home seemingly flooded with the sun's light during the day while settling down to the colors of sunset in the evening. 

This light has a profound effect on our emotions and well-being. It helps balance our internal biorhythms set to the rise and fall of the sun, restoring energy levels and promoting a better sleep-wake cycle.

Creating a Relaxing Retreat

This lighting system lets you play with light like an artist uses paint, offering the perfect setting for any mood. Enhance productivity with blue-toned hues during the day before creating a relaxing retreat at the day's end with soft amber lighting. When having friends over, splashes of saturated colors create an entertaining atmosphere.

According to Lutron's survey, 90% of homeowners want a home that helps them relax. To accomplish this, they're turning to resort-like outdoor areas and spaces designed for pure relaxation. The latest landscape lighting lets our experts utilize outdoor LED lighting as we use it indoors. We'll program relaxing and al fresco dining scenes that prepare the ideal lighting with one touch.

A tunable light source that lets you customize settings from a soft golden glow resembling candlelight to an ocean blue for total relaxation redefines what's possible in home lighting.
