Circadian Lighting: Using Color Temperatures for Better Living

We all know the pleasant feeling of opening the curtains in the morning to watch sunlight flood into our spaces. Natural light transforms our interiors, makes us happier, and helps balance our energy levels.

While natural light is essential to our well-being, we spend most of our time inside and away from the sun. Circadian lighting brings the benefits of natural light indoors by shifting the color temperature and intensity of your electronic lighting to mimic the dynamic changes of sunlight from morning to night.

The Power of Ketra

Most tunable white light sources adjust moderately between warm-white and cool-white temperatures, giving you a limited range of white colors to choose from. By contrast, Ketra LED lighting by Lutron provides a full color gamut of tunability that can achieve incredible color rendering and quality of white light from one source. With a white color spectrum of 1,400K to 10,000K at your fingertips, you can harness your lighting control system to dial in the perfect shade of light for better living indoors.

 

Color Temperatures at a Glance

1,400K: Enjoy the warm glow of candlelight as you wind down in the evening before going to sleep.

3,000K: Conjure the soft, warm light of morning in common areas like the kitchen or living room.

5,000K: Stay focused with crisp, pure-white light in the study room or home office.

6,500K: Energize your spaces with the blue-white hue of daylight where natural daylight can’t reach.

10,000K: Transform your interiors with the cool, blue-white shades of an arctic sky.
