Light is an essential component of our day-to-day lives. Think about how often you switch your lights on and off or adjust them for different tasks throughout the day. A smart lighting system from Lutron, a leader in home lighting and shading solutions, makes it easy to control all the lighting in your home from a single platform, such as the Lutron app or customized wall keypads.

Plus, when you pair smart lighting control with tunable LED bulbs and fixtures from Ketra, you can bask your home in a wide range of whites and colors for improved wellbeing and elevated décor.

Convenience & Comfort

The most obvious benefit of a lighting automation system is the convenience that it brings. Control one, several, or all the lights in your home from one interface, whether that’s the Lutron app or stylish wall keypads. Dimmers also make it easy to adjust the intensity of your home lighting to the perfect level.

Plus, when you pair Ketra tunable LEDs with your Lutron lighting system, you can change the color temperature of your bulbs and fixtures from warm ambers to crystal blue-white hues or drench your spaces in vibrant colors to craft the ideal lighting design for any occasion—all from your smart device.

Energy-Savings

How many times have you gotten home to realize that you or your kids forgot to turn off the lights? Having them on all day is a waste of energy that drives up your electricity bill. Lighting control ensures that your lights are on only when you need them. If you get to work and realize you forgot to turn off the lights, open the Lutron app and turn them off with just the push of a button. You can even schedule them to automatically turn off fifteen minutes after you leave for work or when you push an "All Off" scene button. Schedule them to turn on again fifteen minutes before you get home, so you return to a well-lit house.

Improved Safety

Speaking of getting home after dark, lighting control will also improve the safety of your property. Place motion sensors throughout your outdoor space so that the lights will turn on automatically when you go outside after dark to let the dog out. This also means that if someone is lurking around your house, your lights will turn on automatically to scare them. If you need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, turn on the bathroom light from your phone or ask your voice control assistant to brighten the lights to 50% so you don't have to stumble around in the dark. Finally, schedule your lights to turn on and off on their own while you are on vacation to make it appear as if you are home, deterring any potential burglars.
