A Guide to Ketra's Vibrant Wellness Lighting
Creating a Healthier, More Beautiful Home
We know that light has a profound effect on humans. We can feel our moods and energy levels change when in its presence.
But why?
Light regulates the circadian rhythm, our internal biological clock set by light and darkness. It influences the production of hormones and tells our bodies when it's time to rest and restore or wake and renew. It's essential to our health and well-being.
So, what happens in a home filled with one hue and a lifestyle defined by indoor living? Our body's clock grows out of sync, and we find ourselves restless in the evening and tired during the day.
There is a better way. It's called wellness lighting.

LED Lighting vs Traditional Lighting
LED lighting offers many benefits over traditional lighting. It uses about 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs, creating a greener home while reducing energy costs. It also lasts up to five times longer than a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and as much as 30 times longer than an incandescent bulb, another environmentally friendly factor.
LEDs can also enhance the beauty of our homes and the well-being of those who live there. At Rich AV Design, we partner with Lutron's Ketra, one of the world's most advanced LED lighting systems. This system offers high-performance, full-spectrum LED lights that are changeable with one touch or voice command. It also provides natural lighting features that mirror the color and intensity of sunlight. In essence, it's revolutionizing how we illuminate our homes.
Natural Illumination
The natural world from which we evolved is ruled by light. At dawn, we woke, energized by daylight entering our eyes and the serotonin it released. At night, we slept as darkness initiated the production of melatonin.
Ketra’s Natural Light solution brings our bodies back into balance by mimicking the changing illumination of the natural world. During the day, Ketra makes our home appear filled with sunlight, but without the damaging UV rays. As evening approaches, the lighting dims and warms, producing a soft amber glow reminiscent of a sunset.
Not only do we feel better, but we enjoy beautiful, changing light with no effort.
Full-Spectrum Brilliance
Ketra's full-spectrum, tunable lighting system offers every color and hue in the visible light spectrum. That translates to millions of colors at your disposal, a nearly limitless palette of dynamic, vibrant shades and soft pastels.
This lighting lets your artistic muse come out, playing with varying color temperatures and intensities and then creating a new display with one tap on a touchscreen or voice command. Whether entertaining, dining, relaxing, or reading, you experience the ideal light for the occasion.
Are you having friends over for a dinner party and considering a Caribbean or springtime theme? Full-spectrum, tunable LED systems illuminate your home in shades of cerulean, aqua, and sun-kissed gold or shamrock green and sky blue. This lighting experience enhances every activity, creating memorable moments that inspire.
Accentuating Paintings and Décor
You may feel like your favorite artwork couldn't be improved upon. Then, you stumble upon Ketra's Vibrancy setting and realize you're wrong. Vibrancy tunes white light, shifting it so that objects and artwork look their best. In the right light, colors ring more true with a richness and vibrancy previously undetected.
The Quality of Light
As with most things in life, quality is measured by the experience. It's not always the finest food that defines the best restaurant. Oftentimes, it's the atmosphere that surrounds it. Today, the best home lighting also creates an experience, from embracing the natural world to harmonizing light to match our moods and activities.
At Rich AV, we're passionate about high-performance, customized technology solutions that transform everyday living. To learn more about today's home lighting possibilities, contact us or check out our blog on the latest advancements.
